I'm Cannellfan, a.k.a. Scott Clark. My press name is Orion Majoris Publications.
I started in fanzines in 1984, publishing the letterzine The Cannell Files, and added How to Be a World Class Private Investigator (Magnum, P.I.) and On the Air: Quarterly Report (Midnight Caller) letterzines. I've also published two issues of the multi-media fiction zine Scenario, and a single issue of Don't Touch That Dial. My 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, I started actually producing them for showing at that convention in 1995, under the production group name SiDiC Music Videos.
I 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). My first exposure to fanzines was that club's newsletter The Andromedan Log, for which I've edited at least 45 of the 68 issues, over the years, and club fanzine The Kelvan Outpost. The first fanzine I subscribed to (in 1984), outside of that club, was Details At 11, a Simon & Simon letterzine, which inspired me to start publishing The Cannell Files. I first started attending MediaWest*Con in 1986, and haven't missed a single one since, even though it is over 700 miles away from where I live.
I'm very much a gen fan, and do not care for slash in my own reading or vidding habits. For many years, I've gravitated towards multi-fandom fiction zines -- along the lines of Rerun, Prime Time and Remote Control -- and have an extensive collection of titles from the mid-1980s to the early 2000s. I plan to go through that collection and add info to the fanlore database as time permits.
