Gabrielson, Maurice Hanson (editor of Novae Terrae), L.V. Heald, R. Holmes, Eric C. Hopkins, Leslie Johnson, Harry T. Kay, Louis Kuslan (Cosmic Tales, The Miscellany, The Nucleus), Bert Lewis, Richard G. Medhurst, Wilfred Owen Morley, Sam Moskowitz (Different, New Fandom), Eric Needham (Now & Then), James Rathbone (editor of Macabre), D.R. Smith, William F. Temple (editor of Novae Terrae), Bob Tucker (editor of Le Zombie), Eric C. Williams, Frank D. Wilson, and C.S. Youd (editor of The Fantast) under his own name, and writing anonymously as 'The Fantacynic', on fandom affairs.
