Cannellfan is a vidder and gen fanzine publisher who publishes under the name of Orion Majoris Publications.

He started publishing fanzines in 1984, beginning with the letterzine The Cannell Files, and soon added How to Be a World Class Private Investigator (Magnum, P.I.) and On the Air: Quarterly Report (Midnight Caller) letterzines. He also published two issues of the multi-media fiction zine Scenario, and a single issue of Don't Touch That Dial. His longest-running fanzine was STARLink, a Star Trek (all generations) letterzine that ran for 35 issues from 1991 to 1994, partially filling the gap left by the cancellation of Interstat.

After years of being an avid viewer of Fannish Music Videos at MediaWest*Con, he began producing them for showing at that convention in 1995, under the production group name SiDiC Music Videos.

He first entered organized fandom in 1980, by joining my local, Lincoln, NE, science fiction club Star Base Andromeda (which is still going strong to this day). Hisfirst exposure to fanzines was that club's newsletter The Andromedan Log, for which he's edited at least 45 of the 68 issues, over the years, and club fanzine The Kelvan Outpost. The first fanzine he subscribed to (in 1984), outside of that club, was Details At 11, a Simon & Simon letterzine, which inspired him to start publishing The Cannell Files. He first started attending MediaWest*Con in 1986, and has not missed a single one since.

Vidding Contributions

Canellfan is one of a group of VCR vidders who transitioned to digital vidding in the late 1990s. His first digital vid was made in 1998 using iMovie. He is the producer of the annual MediaWest*Con tear-jerker "Tribute to Actors We Lost in the Past Year" vid.
