So much for that New Year resolution to be a bit more relaxed about newsletter publication.

Drilkjis again

December 14th, 2008

The on-line archive of my first (co-edited) fanzine has just been expanded — everything in the last three issues, the best ones, is now on line.

Drilkjis (1976-1982 fanzine) ed. Dave Langford & Kevin Smith: a selection. Requires login: user name fan, password malsenn.

“Into the Null” (farewell to Algis Budrys and Tom Disch)

Cloud Chamber 159

December 7th, 2008

A little something for the Christmas stocking.

Elsewhere, I’ve done some not terribly interesting site updates. Students of the history of fan funds will probably be as bored as anyone else by this run of early GUFF newsletters, while only those fond of fannish esoterica will make much sense of “Scouting for Fans”.

Another laborious addition: all the flyers sent out with the first series of Ansible are recorded on the index page and in individual issues. Most of them are now on line and duly linked. But who’s interested?

Bah! Humbug!

Which reminds me of the traditional Ansible festive link: Ron Tiner’s one-page graphic novel adaptation of A Christmas Carol.
