re yr ct (and its many variations!) is a term that was commonly used in older, science fiction fanzine letter columns, letterzines, and APAs.

It was adopted a few fannish media publications.

It was the nature of APAs to have been published two/three months or more previously, and communications could get tricky!

The term is used when referring to a member's previous comments, and is a way to keep track of "threaded comments" in previous issues.

Examples of Use

• from The Neutral Arbiter: "re yr ct on Dayna and Vila's suspicions about Cally's mind-reading capabilities."
• a Strange Bedfellows example of use: "M. Fae: reyrct Tre, re biblical stuff" and "reyrct Barbara reherct me: I loved 'reading intimacy between peers as itself erotic." and "Yes! reyrct me on philosophy."
