Welcome on board. We're looking forward to more contributions. If you have any questions, please reach out to Fanlore community. Also feel free to message me directly. I am working on preserving paper era fanzines with several US universities and could always use background on the Australian fanzine community.MeeDee (talk) 07:39, 7 March 2023 (UTC)

Thank you!

Hey Geoff, I'm also an Australian fan and recently stumbled across some of the pages you've created on here! I wanted to say thank you for your work documenting the history of SF fandom and its people in Melbourne. I really can't express in words how I feel as a younger fan reading about people and communities I would have otherwise not even known existed, and it makes me so happy to see the care you've put into documenting them. Looking through the photos you've added in particular has given me a lot of joy, and has felt like I'm getting a bit of a glimpse into fandom back then even if I wasn't there to experience it. I've just started watching Star Trek for the first time, and your contributions have inspired me to learn more about the fandom's history in Australia — I might try and make it to an Austrek meeting sometime! - Castille (talk) 14:27, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

Hi Castille,

Thank you for your very kind words. I have been doing my fanlore project as a way of honouring many friends and mentors, and I am sure they would be pleased to know that a younger fan has enjoyed leaning about them. We are all part of a fandom family. I very much appreciate knowing that my efforts here have been worthwhile. As for Austrek, I am sure they would love to meet you and you might even meet me at one of their meetings! Their fiftieth anniversary activities are coming up in a year or two (that anniversary is another reason I wanted to immortalise these people and events on fanlore) and it could be exciting times ahead. Thanks for all you do here, too. The future belongs to young people. PS. Do you mind if I quote you to some friends etc? (I would not use your name). Thanks again, GeoffA (talk) 00:42, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
