Anne Lewis was a slash writer.
She is perhaps best known for writing Remember Angola, the first Professionals slash fanzine printed and sold. It was published in 1981 and inspired HG to write a sequel, Strange Days Indeed.
She also published the Blake's 7 zine Liberator from 1978 to 1980, and wrote some of that fandom's earliest fanfiction.
Lewis is recognized as the fan who created, and popularized, the term wallow. [1]
Lewis was also the author of the earliest known distributed Avon/Cally fic: ‘The Initiation’ in Alternative Seven #1 (1978).
Anne Lewis was president of British Nick Tate Fan Club from 1978 to 1981 [2] She was also a founder of the Blake's 7 club, Liberator Popular Front.
She passed in the fall of 1982, as reported in S&H #35. and Horizon Newsletter #8.
From Horizon Letterzine:
Not all of you will know who Anne was, but those of you who have been involved with fandom for some time will know that she was one of the founders of the L.P.F. - our sister London-based club, and was one of the first to bring Blake's Seven fandom to life.Sadly, not long ago Anne died in a tragic accident and we at Horizon would just like to pay a small tribute to a very talented writer, and to a warm and friendly person who will be sadly missed. Anne was only in her twenties but during her short life she produced some marvellous stories - both on Blake's Seven and other topics, and we are lucky to have some of these in our Alternative Seven series of zines. She also wrote for the LPF's own original zine, Liberator and those of you who have read her work will know what a talented writer she was.
