<div>'''Eclipse''' is a science fiction fanzine by Ray Thompson. <br />
<br />
Published in the 1950s, in Norfolk, Nebraska, U.S.A.. Early issues of ''Eclipse'' were dittoed, but later were mimeographed. At least 18 issues were released. Issues #4 and #5 were published in 1953; issues #10 to #14 were released in 1955; and the last issue, #18, appeared in 1956.<br />
<br />
Contributors of columns included Marian Cox ([[The Femizine]]). Contributors of fiction included Celia Block, and Lew A. Gaff. Poetry was contributed by [[Rory Faulkner]] ([[Shangri L'Affaires]]), and Isabelle Dinwiddle.<br />
<br />
John Ledyard's review from [[Peon]] #28, from September 1953, calls it,'' "A rather entertaining new face on the fan scene, with stories by Celia Block and Lew A. Gaff, a column by Marian Cox, poetry by Isabelle Dinwiddie and Rory Faulkner, and miscellaneous stuff, including a contest. Reproduction is good, on a whole, and there's a fairly high level for the material." <br />
<br />
Ray Thompson was a fan artist and writer who contributed to fanzines such as [[Vega]] and wrote the column "The Other 2%" for Ted White's [[Zip]]. He also published the fanzine [[Bibbility]].<br />

After a period of being away from fandom he returned in the 1980s and began publishing ''Trap Door'' in 1983 in Glen Ellen, California, U.S.A. He moved to Oakland, California, in 2005, and continued publishing ''Trap Door''. He is a longtime member of the Fantasy Amateur Press Association (FAPA), with his current membership starting in 1984 (and a previous one from 1962-70), and has served as its Secretary-Treasurer since 1986.

<div>The '''Spectator Amateur Press Society''', or SAPS, is an [[Amateur Press Association]]. It was founded in 1947 by members of a local New Jersey science fiction club called the Spectators. The members were all young SF fans who viewed the already existing Fantasy Amateur Press Association as “stuffy, self-centered, self-important and dictatorial.” As founding member Joe Kennedy (later well-known as poet [[X.J. Kennedy]]) also wrote, “The concept of a brand new apa which would throw its gates wide open to the new fans is an idea with intriguing possibilities. It might not be literary, it might not be intellectual, two-thirds of its publications might stink to high heaven, but it would probably be a heck of a lot of fun.” <br />
<br />
SAPS is the second oldest of the APAs in science fiction fandom. When it was founded in 1947, its membership was limited to 25 and its dues to 25¢ every six months in order to be affordable to the younger fans. At times the membership limit has been raised as high as 40, but with a general falling off in interest in traditional print apas (thanks largely to the internet), it’s once again at 25. Sadly, however, due to the death of many longtime members, the current membership (January 2016) is just 10. <br />
<br />
From the outset mailings have been issued quarterly, with deadlines on the 15th of January, April, July and October. The minimum activity requirement (minac) is 6 pages every other mailing, with initial activity to be in the first mailing of membership. SAPS has maintained this requirement since its founding, and it’s led to a more interactive pace than its older cousin, FAPA, where minac is on an annual basis.<br />
<br />
The group has only one elected official, the Official Editor (OE), who keeps track that minac is produced, dues paid on time, and mailings are sent out in timely fashion. An “emergency officer” appointed by the OE takes over if for any reason the OE is impeded from performing his or her duties. <br />
<br />
The first Official Editor for SAPS was Ron Maddox. Other Official Editors for SAPS have been:<br />
<br />
* Ron Maddox <br />
* Lloyd Alpaugh<br />
* Hank Spelman III<br />
* Art Rapp <br />
* Walter Coslet<br />
* Dick Eney<br />
* Gordon Black<br />
* Wrai Ballard<br />
* [[Nan Gerding]]<br />
* [[Karen Anderson]]<br />
* Howard DeVore<br />
* [[Nancy Share|Nancy Share Rapp]]<br />
* F.M. Busby & [[Elinor Busby]]<br />
* Bruce Pelz<br />
* Dave Hulan<br />
* Doreen & Jim Webbert<br />
* Meade Frierson III<br />
* Nicki Lynch<br />
* Otto Pfeifer<br />
* Burnett R. Toskey (1959-60 & 1988 to present)<br />
<br />
Over the years a number of science fiction fans who’ve gone on to achieve some level of fame and/or notoriety have been members of SAPS. The list includes [[Karen Anderson]] ([[Goliard]], [[Vorpal Glass]], [[The Zed]]), [[Ruth Berman]] ([[Dinky Bird]]), [[Vaughn Bodé]], [[Redd Boggs]], Marion Zimmer Bradley (who was “Astra Zimmer” when a member), Walter H. Breen, [[F.M. Busby]], [[ Elinor Busby]], [[Terry Carr]] ([[Entropy (U.S.A.)|Entropy]]), [[Jack Chalker]], [[Walter A. Coslet|Walt Coslet]], Calvin Demmon, [[Howard DeVore]], Bill Donaho, [[Gordon Eklund]], [[Harlan Ellison]], Dick Eney, John Foyster, [[Edward Gorman|Ed Gorman]], [[David McDaniel]] aka “Ted Johnstone" ([[Mest]]), Arnie Katz, [[Lenny Kaye]], [[X.J. Kennedy|Joe Kennedy]], Robert Lichtman, [[Sam Moskowitz]], [[Fred Patten]], [[Bruce Pelz]], [[Andrew I. Porter|Andy Porter]], [[Bill Rotsler|William Rotsler]], [[Robert Silverberg]], [[Bjo Trimble]] and her husband John.<br />

<div>The '''Fantasy Amateur Press Association''' (FAPA) was founded by [[Donald Wollheim]] in 1937. It was the first science fiction [[Amateur Press Association]] and was initially designed to be a method for distributing fanzines to as many interested readers as possible. Early FAPAns included [[Forrest J Ackerman]], [[Myrtle Douglas (Morojo)]], [[Gertrude Kuslan]], [[John B. Michel]], [[Harry Warner, Jr.]], Jack Speer, Frederik Pohl and Olon F. Wiggins.<br />
<br />
At times, there have been long waiting lists to join. During the peak of APAs in the 1960s, there was a three-plus year waiting list and many people dropped off the waiting list before they made it to the active roster. In recent years, membership has dropped to the point where there are fewer than thirty members. <br />
<br />
Many significant zines were released through FAPA, including [[Horizons]], [[Lighthouse]], [[Trial & Air]], [[Fantasy Commentator]] and [[Sky Hook]].<br />
<br />
Over the years, many significant members of science fiction fandom have been members, including [[Karen Anderson]], Abby Lu Ashley, Al Ashley, Redd Boggs, [[Elinor Busby]], Terry Carr, Walter Coslet, [[Leslie Croutch]], Bill Donaho, [[Miriam Dyches/Carr/Knight/Lloyd]], [[Georgina Ellis]], Dean Grennell, [[Lee Hoffman]], Ben Indick, David Kyle, Bruce Pelz, Larry Shaw, Larry Stark, [[Charles Wells]], [[Art Widner]], Rosco E. Wright, and [[Jean Young]]. <br />
<br />
Current FAPA members include Robert Lichtman, [[Steve Green]], Robert Silverberg, Fred Lerner, Keith Walker, Knud Larn, Mike McInerney, Steve & Vicki Ogden, Jim Caughran, Jim Benford, Sandra Bond and Norm Metcalf.<br />

Early FAPAns included [[Forrest J Ackerman]], [[Myrtle Douglas (Morojo)]], [[Gertrude Kuslan]], [[John B. Michel]], [[Harry Warner, Jr.]], Jack Speer, Frederik Pohl and Olon F. Wiggins.<br />
<br />
At times, there have been long waiting lists to join. During the peak of APAs in the 1960s, there was a three-plus year waiting list and many people dropped off the waiting list before they made it to the active roster. In recent years, membership has dropped to the point where there are fewer than thirty members. <br />
<br />
Many significant zines were released through FAPA, including [[Horizons]], [[Lighthouse]], [[Trial & Air]], [[Fantasy Commentator]] and [[Sky Hook]].<br />
<br />
Over the years, many significant members of science fiction fandom have been members, including [[Karen Anderson]], Abby Lu Ashley, Al Ashley, Redd Boggs, [[Elinor Busby]], Terry Carr, Walter Coslet, [[Leslie Croutch]], Bill Donaho, [[Miriam Dyches/Carr/Knight/Lloyd]], [[Georgina Ellis]], Dean Grennell, [[Lee Hoffman]], Ben Indick, David Kyle, Bruce Pelz, Larry Shaw, Larry Stark, [[Charles Wells]], [[Art Widner]], Rosco E. Wright, and [[Jean Young]]. <br />
<br />
Current FAPA members include Robert Lichtman, [[Steve Green]], Robert Silverberg, Fred Lerner, Keith Walker, Knud Larn, Mike McInerney, Steve & Vicki Ogden, Jim Caughran, Jim Benford, Sandra Bond and Curt Phillips.<br />

<div>The '''Spectator Amateur Press Society''', or SAPS, is an [[Amateur Press Association]]. It was founded in 1947 by members of a local New Jersey science fiction club called the Spectators. The members were all young SF fans who viewed the already existing Fantasy Amateur Press Association as “stuffy, self-centered, self-important and dictatorial.” As founding member Joe Kennedy (later well-known as poet [[X.J. Kennedy]]) also wrote, “The concept of a brand new apa which would throw its gates wide open to the new fans is an idea with intriguing possibilities. It might not be literary, it might not be intellectual, two-thirds of its publications might stink to high heaven, but it would probably be a heck of a lot of fun.” <br />
<br />
SAPS is the second oldest of the APAs in science fiction fandom. When it was founded in 1947, its membership was limited to 25 and its dues to 25¢ every six months in order to be affordable to the younger fans. At times the membership limit has been raised as high as 40, but with a general falling off in interest in traditional print apas (thanks largely to the internet), it’s once again at 25. Sadly, however, due to the death of many longtime members, the current membership (July 2015) is just 10. <br />
<br />
From the outset mailings have been issued quarterly, with deadlines on the 15th of January, April, July and October. The minimum activity requirement (minac) is 6 pages every other mailing, with initial activity to be in the first mailing of membership. SAPS has maintained this requirement since its founding, and it’s led to a more interactive pace than its older cousin, FAPA, where minac is on an annual basis.<br />
<br />
The group has only one elected official, the Official Editor (OE), who keeps track that minac is produced, dues paid on time, and mailings are sent out in timely fashion. An “emergency officer” appointed by the OE takes over if for any reason the OE is impeded from performing his or her duties. <br />
<br />
The first Official Editor for SAPS was Ron Maddox. Other Official Editors for SAPS have been:<br />
<br />
* Ron Maddox (1947)<br />
* Lloyd Alpaugh<br />
* Hank Spelman III<br />

<div>'''Abstract''' was a science fiction fanzine by Peter J. Vorzimer. <br />
<br />
''Abstract'' was published in the 1950s in Goleta, California, U.S.A.<br />
<br />
Contributing artists included Bradley, and [[Bill Rotsler|William Rotsler]].<br />
<br />
Contributors of articles included Irene Baron, Robert Bloch, Terry Carr ([[Innuendo]]), E. Everett Evans ([[Nova (1940s)|Nova]], [[The Timebinder]], [[The National Fantasy Fan]]), Burton Satz, and Charles Wilgus. <br />
<br />
Regular columnists included Dean Grennell ([[Grue]], [[Filler]]), Denis Moreen ([[Spiral]]), and Bob Stewart.<br />
<br />
Contributors of fiction included Harlan Ellison ([[Science Fantasy Bulletin]]). <br />
<br />
Letters came from Richard Geis, Sam Johnson, Fred Malz, Carol McKinney ([[Deviant]]), Art Rapp ([[Spacewarp]], [[The National Fantasy Fan]]), Jan Sadler ([[SLANder]]), [[Walt Willis]] ([[Hyphen]]). <br />
<br />
In 1954, Peter Vorziner started the APA "The Cult", which lasted into the 1990s.<br />
<br />
In a letter to [[Idea]] #11, from October 1997, Tom Perry, editor of [[Quark (Tom Perry)|Quark]], gives us an idea of the esteem Peter Vorzimer was held in the 1950s: "Back in the midseventies, I was passing along memories of a fifties fan named Peter Vorzimer to a young correspondent who had run across some of his fanzines. I mentioned his burst of activity and subsequent disappearance from fandom, and concluded by saying that Terry Carr was probably right when he had speculated that whatever Vorzimer turned his hand to, he was probably making ten thousand a year. This was a cliche in the fifties for a young person who achieved early financial success. My correspondent wrote back in some indignation, saying he was sure that someone of Vorzimer's demonstrated talent and energy certainly earned more than ten grand. He had thought that Carr was sneering that Vorz was living well below what had subsequently become the poverty level."<br />

<div>[[Image:ABs56.jpg|right|frame|'''A Bas'''<br/> Issue 8 1956 <br/> Cover by [[Pat Patterson]] ]]<br />
'''A Bas''' was a science fiction fanzine published by [[Boyd Raeburn]]. <br />
<br />
Published in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, ''A Bas'' began as the organ of "The Derelicts", as the members of The Toronto SF Society called themselves. Later, Raeburn and friends redefined themselves as "Derelict Insurgents", or "Toronto Insurgents". It was originally intended as a one-issue-only fanzine to be sent free to all subscribers of [[Canadian Fandom]]. The first issue was put together in one night - starting at 3 PM on Saturday, January 23, 1954 and ending at 5AM on Sunday - by Raeburn and friends Albert Lastovica, Howard Lyons, Ron Kidder, Gerald Steward and Kenneth G. Hall. The rest of the run of ''A Bas'' was edited by Raeburn on his own. 11 issues were released, the last issue appearing February, 1959. <br />
<br />
Included in ''A Bas'' were little playlets called "Derelicti Derogations" created by the editor from actual overheard conversations of members of The Derelicts with fans.<br />
<br />
Artists contributing to ''A Bas'' include [[Pat Patterson]], who did four of the front covers for this fanzine (issues 7, 8, 9 and 10).<br />
<br />
Writers contributing included Robert Bloch, Terry Carr ([[Innuendo]]) as Carl Brandon, Dick Ellington ([[Metrofan]], [[The Bosses' Songbook]]), Richard Geis, Ron Kidder, Rich "Alex" Kirs, [[Lee Hoffman]] ([[Quandry]]), Walt Liebscher ([[Chanticleer]]), Robert Shaw, Bob Tucker ([[Le Zombie]]), [[Harry Warner, Jr.]] ([[Spaceways]]) and [[Walt Willis]] ([[Hyphen]]).<br />
<br />
''A Bas'' included the last fanzine contribution made by Walt Liebscher, and the parody.of ''My Fair Lady'', called ''My Fair Femmefan'', originally credited to Carl Brandon, a hoax fan created by Terry Carr.<br />
<br />
''A Bas'' was a Canadian Amateur Fan Publishers (CAFP) zine which, in the 1950s, also included [[Damn!]] by Norman G. Browne, [[Deja-Vu]] by P. Howard Lyons, [[Escape (Woroch)|Escape]] by Fred Woroch, [[Fie]] by Harry Calnek, [[Filler]] by Norman G. Browne and Dean Grennell, [[Gasp!]] by Gerald Steward, [[Ibidem]] by P. Howard Lyons, and [[Mimi]] by [[Georgina Ellis]].<br />
<br />
After ''A Bas'' ceased publication, Boyd Raeburn went on to release [[Queebshots]] with Norm Clarke and [[Georgina Ellis]], the editors of [[Honque]] and [[Descant]].<br />

<div>'''Pat Patterson''' was an artist whose work helped define the look of 1950s and 1960s fanzines.<br />
<br />
Pat Patterson was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. By the time she began illustrating fanzines, Pat Patterson already had her own studio and was working as an artist. In the early 1950s she met P. Howard Lyons, [[Boyd Raeburn]], Gerald Steward, and the other members of the group calling themselves "The Derelict Insurgents", who burst upon the science fiction scene in 1954. <br />
<br />
Patterson did four covers for Boyd Raeburn's [[A Bas]], as well as covers for Gerald Steward's [[Gasp!]], and [[Canadian Fandom]]. She also did all the covers and illustrations and served as Art Director for P. Howard Lyons' [[Ibidem]]. <br />
<br />
''Ibidem'' was in fact two fanzines: one devoted to science fiction fandom and the other to stage magic. Long after the science fiction version had ceased to be published, the version of ''Ibidem'' devoted to stage magic continued on. 36 issues were published in all, released in a hardcover three volume set in the 2000s, with full color reproductions of Pat's covers and illustrations. Pat had been interested in stage magic before meeting Lyons so it was a perfect fit. P. Howard Lyons and Pat married in the 1950s. <br />

<div>[[Image:Inn8Cover-Web-(2)_copy.jpg|right|frame|'''Innuendo''' <br/>Issue 8 <br/>Caption: "Sure, Leonardo, but it'll be hell to stencil"]]<br />
'''Innuuendo''' was a science fiction fanzine by Terry Carr and Dave Rike. <br />
<br />
''Innuendo'' was published in the mid 1950s in the U.S.A until 1960, when Terry Carr joined the editorial team of [[Void]]. After Terry Carr's death, issue 12, which he had begun when still alive, was published in 1990 by Robert Lichtman ([[Trap Door]])and Jerry Kaufman ([[The Spanish Inquisition]]).<br />
<br />
''Innuendo'' features writing by Greg Benford ([[Void]]), Ron Bennett ([[Ploy]]), Carl Brandon, Carol Carr, Sidney Coleman, Calvin Demmon, Bill Donaho ([[Habakkuk]]), Dean Grennell ([[Filler]], [[Grue]]), Arnie Katz ([[FIAWOL]]), Ray Nelson, Elmer Perdue, Tom Perry, [[Harry Warner, Jr.]] ([[Horizons]]), [[Ted White]] ([[Stellar]]), [[Walt Willis]] ([[Hyphen]]) and [[Susan Wood]] ([[Aspidistra]]).<br />
<br />
Artwork was by [[Hannes Bok]], Grant Canfield, Ronald Clyne, Cynthia Goldstone, [[Lee Hoffman]] ([[Quandry]]), Joy Kinney, Trina Robbins, [[Bill Rotsler]], Dan Steffan ([[Boonfark]]), Steve Stiles, [[Arthur Thomson|ATom]] ([[The ATom Anthology]]), and [[Bjo Trimble]] ([[Melange]]).<br />
<br />
''Innuendo'' frequently reprinted articles from old fanzines that the editors thought important to fan history; among these articles was writing by Charles Burbee, F. Towner Laney ([[The Acolyte]]), Jim Harmon, and others. <br />
<br />
The article from ''Innuendo'' called "The Mind of Chow", by Charles Burbee, was reprinted in the fanzine yearbook, [[The Best of Fandom 1958]].<br />
<br />
''Innuendo'' was the fanzine in which Terry Carr and Peter Graham presented [["Carl Brandon"]], a fictitious hoax fan of color, in order to address issues of race within the science fiction community. Real authors who wrote under the name Carl Brandon included Terry Carr, Bob Stewart, Dave Rike, Ron Ellik and Pete Graham. Carl Brandon became a very popular fan within the SF community, whose articles appeared in several fanzines of the time, and who published his own title for a short while.<br />
<br />
Later, fans created the Carl Brandon Society.<br />
<br />
Terry Carr also co-published [[Klein Bottle]] from 1959 till 1960 with Miriam Carr, and went on to publish [[Lighthouse]], from 1958 till 1968, and the one shot [[Entropy (U.S.A.)|Entropy]] in 1964.<br />

''Innuendo'' was the fanzine in which Terry Carr and Peter Graham presented "Carl Brandon," a fictitious hoax fan of color, in order to address issues of race within the science fiction community. Real authors who wrote under the name Carl Brandon included Terry Carr, Bob Stewart, Dave Rike, Ron Ellik and Pete Graham. Carl Brandon became a very popular fan within the SF community, whose articles appeared in several fanzines of the time, and who published his own title for a short while.<br />
<br />
Later, fans created the Carl Brandon Society.<br />
<br />
Terry Carr also co-published [[Klein Bottle]] from 1959 till 1960 with Miriam Carr, and went on to publish [[Lighthouse]], from 1958 till 1968, and the one shot [[Entropy (U.S.A.)|Entropy]] in 1964.<br />

'''Miriam Dyches/Carr/Knight/Lloyd''' is a fanzine editor and writer.<br />
<br />
Miriam Dyches began publishing fanzines under the title [[Goojie Publications]] in the late 1950s. Robert Lichtman, in the pages of el Volume 7, #2, April 2008, relates the story of how Miriam's fanzine came by its name. He tells a story of buying a second hand copy of the book Sirius, which contained a inscription from Forrest J Ackerman: "Miriam: Why not set a goal? - to one day contribute to the world a work as worthwhile as this one?" Lichtman explains, "Miriam was, of course, the first wife of the late Terry Carr. But at the time Forry wrote this inscription, which is dated April 1958, she was still Miriam Dyches, who Forry at the time (and perhaps forevermore) referred to as "the girl with the golden goojies," Miriam ran with this - she began publishing fanzines around that time, each with a unique name but under the imprint of Goojie Publications."<br />
<br />
Issue 2 was released November 1958, and was subtitled "Moor Park"; #3 appeared in December 1958, and was subtitled "Uneven"; and #5 was published in July 1962 and subtitled "Q.E.D.". <br />
<br />
Miriam then co-published [[Klein Bottle]] (as Miriam Carr) with Terry Carr from 1959 till 1960. The first issue came out in May 1959, the second in November 1959, and the rest were published in 1960, with #3 appearing in February, #4 in May, #5 in August, and #6 released in November 1960. <br />
<br />
Also at this time, Miriam replaced Ron Ellik as co-editor of [[Fanac]], with Terry Carr, in 1960. <br />
<br />
In February 1963, she released [[A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To Poughkeepsie]] (as Miriam Knight), which was distributed by the [[Fantasy Amateur Press Association]]. After the publication of this fanzine Miriam Knight, her husband Jerry Knight completed his training at IBM school and in April 1963 they moved to Berkeley, California. <br />
<br />
She then did the fanzine [[100% Whole Wheat]] with Robert Lichtman (later editor of [[Trap Door]]) in May 1965. This was the last fanzine she produced. <br />

<div>The '''Fantasy Amateur Press Association''' (FAPA) was founded by [[Donald Wollheim]] in 1937. It was the first science fiction [[Amateur Press Association]] and was initially designed to be a method for distributing fanzines to as many interested readers as possible. Early FAPAns included [[Forrest J Ackerman]], [[Myrtle Douglas (Morojo)]], [[Gertrude Kuslan]], [[John B. Michel]], [[Harry Warner, Jr.]], Jack Speer, Frederik Pohl and Olon F. Wiggins.<br />
<br />
At times, there have been long waiting lists to join. During the peak of APAs in the 1960s, there was a three-plus year waiting list and many people dropped off the waiting list before they made it to the active roster. In recent years, membership has dropped to the point where there are fewer than thirty members. <br />
<br />
Many significant zines were released through FAPA, including [[Horizons]], [[Lighthouse]], [[Trial & Air]], [[Fantasy Commentator]] and [[Sky Hook]].<br />
<br />
Over the years, many significant members of science fiction fandom have been members, including [[Karen Anderson]], Abby Lu Ashley, Al Ashley, Redd Boggs, [[Elinor Busby]], Terry Carr, Walter Coslet, [[Leslie Croutch]], Bill Donaho, [[Miriam Dyches/Carr/Knight/Lloyd]], [[Georgina Ellis]], Dean Grennell, [[Lee Hoffman]], Ben Indick, David Kyle, Bruce Pelz, Larry Shaw, Larry Stark, [[Charles Wells]], [[Art Widner]], Rosco E. Wright, and [[Jean Young]]. <br />
<br />
Current FAPA members include Robert Lichtman, [[Steve Green]], Robert Silverberg, Art Widner, Fred Lerner, Keith Walker, Knud Larn, Peggy Rae Sapienza, Sandra Bond and Curt Phillips.<br />
