Fan Fiction in Ansible Editions Ebooks  \nNotes  \nOriginal Appearances  \nForeword  \nOne aspect of fandom only lightly touched on by me in Then was fan fiction. By which, of course, I mean fiction about fans and/or fandom. This is a thread that has been woven through SF fandom since it began, enduring almost to the present day, and so is worthy of consideration in that light. I’ll be looking at the people who wrote it and all its various forms and the purposes to which they were put. Inevitably, the quality of the writing varies wildly, with that of those who later went on to write professionally usually being a cut above the rest.  \nA surprising amount of fan fiction is already available in various Ansible Editions ebooks. Where I reference these I’ve put [AE] after them to indicate that fact and a full list of same can be found at the rear of this volume. Similarly [fan] appears after those available at [fanac.org](fanac.org), and [fia] for those available on my own website at [fiawol.org.uk. Where possible](fiawol.org.uk. Where possible) the pieces of fan fiction reprinted herein to illustrate various types and forms – all by UK fans – were specifically chosen from those not already available. As a result, most will be things the majority of readers won’t have encountered before.  \nWhile I’ve done work on US fandom – see Challenging Moskowitz and the section of my website devoted to the Los Angeles fandom of the 1940s (which I may rework into an ebook at some point*)– my primary focus remains UK fanhistory, and this volume is part of that ongoing mission. This also keeps the project to a manageable size.   \n* Added to the TAFF site ebook library in December 2021 as Bixelstrasse: The SF Fan Community of 1940s Los Angeles.– RH/DRL  \nFan fictions that comment on contemporary issues in fandom and/or feature fans of the day rely on familiarity with those particular issues and fans to achieve their effect, which is why you can lose a lot when removing such things from their historical context and reprinting them decades later.
