The text argues that fandom should remain fun, critiques the idea that letters must be printed to matter, and discusses why some fanzines become selective, scarce, or driven by causes. The issue also includes farewell notes for Walt Willis and highlights contributions from multiple fans, alongside a piece titled “Between Midnight and Dawn.”",{"@graph":63,"@context":112},[64,80,95],{"@type":65,"itemListElement":66},"BreadcrumbList",[67,71,74,77],{"item":68,"name":69,"@type":70,"position":9},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":72,"name":10,"@type":70,"position":73},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/",2,{"item":75,"name":51,"@type":70,"position":76},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/general/",3,{"item":78,"name":59,"@type":70,"position":79},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/pulp-between-midnight-and-dawn/304567/",4,{"url":78,"name":59,"@type":81,"author":82,"headline":59,"publisher":85,"fileFormat":88,"inLanguage":57,"description":61,"dateModified":89,"datePublished":89,"encodingFormat":88,"isAccessibleForFree":90,"interactionStatistic":91},"DigitalDocument",{"name":83,"@type":84},"\tWilliam","Person",{"url":68,"name":86,"@type":87},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-09-19",true,{"@type":92,"interactionType":93,"userInteractionCount":4},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":94},"ViewAction",{"@type":96,"mainEntity":97},"FAQPage",[98,104,108],{"name":99,"@type":100,"acceptedAnswer":101},"What does the editorial say about fanzine reviews?","Question",{"text":102,"@type":103},"The editorial states it does not like fanzine reviews, and questions their value.

 \n“1 oWE IT A4 To ARIWoRK FOR FANZINE s'“  \nVIN  \nCLARKE  \nwant not,etc.  \nAlso,you might get answered back.  \nAs I totter into this pulpit and survey thecongregation -and cast a steely glance at youngHarris who's scribbling obscene limer icks in his hymnbook again -it occurs to me that,judging by some ofthe remarks made in this fanzine and others recently,it's about time I put in my two cents-worth.  \nI don't like fanz ine reviews.  \nNow,if two of you will carry out Joe Nicholas and therest of you stop whisper ing I'll go into deta11.Onceupon a time,just conceivably,there may have been somany fanz ines in these islands(this,by the way,isstrictly for Britishers -you others may wander intoother pages and pick some flowers or someth ing as youso des ire)that you had to have some guidance as towhere you spent your hot little pennies.Fanz ine Awas better than Fanzine B.Value for money.Waste not  \nBut it has surely not escaped your notice that these days most fanzines are for free;afaned will be only too pleased to send a copy of hiser 'zíne,and if you send a friendly Locyou'll probably get the duplicator by return of post.Fanzines are a bit of a dying art,run by people with more money than sense.  \nBut suppose you have concefved a disl1ke for a 'zine.It invarlably puts 'e's before 'i's,doesn't know the difference between its'and tt's',misspells Harris copy,and indulges inother strange and unnatural practices.Or possibly you're into strange and unnaturalpractices,would like to see more pictures of naked robots,and wish the 'zine would ploponto your doormat of tener.  \nSo write a LoC.Nothing could be simpler,and if your vlews are considered sufficlentlyinterest ing they'll be displayed for all and sundry in the very magazine that you're talkingabout.  \nToo simple.And there's always the chance,laughable tho'it is,that the faned won't findyour vlews of sufficlent interest to publish.Or,as of ten happens with PULP,there's justnot enough space,as witness the miniscule typeface I've used in the past.  \nFar better,don't you think,to unleash your golden eloquence in a totally different fanz ine.It doesn't really matter if the two sets of readers aren't 1dentica1...t's the ir own faultfor not getting both 'zines.  \nBut let's drop the sarcasm.I had a short and inconclusive correspondence with DaveLangford on this subject at about the time I edited my last PULP.Dave,who is poss1bly theonly fan in the world who could shake my opinions on this,more-or-less approves ofrevlews.(I can't ever remember seeing him tearing into some innocent fanzine,tho'when itcomes to professional stuff...The most relevant bit in this correspondence-one para.of  \nwhich was modestly bracketed with the remark \"Too hastily written,I think.Print only ifdesperate!\"-1s \"A letter pays off just one fannish 'ob'and may never see print;doing apublic reply in a fanzine you can send to 300 people(or even writing a flashy article foranother fanz ine)is 1able to bring in more ego fodder and fame.Now tell me I'm cynical.\"  \nThis business about \"may never see print\"strikes me asthe kernel of this discuss ion.Does it matter 1f itdoesn't see print?I'm old-fashloned,I suppose;I'vealways thought of fanac as a hobby which you freelyentered into for sheer fun,an attitude which stemsfrom those long-gone \"50s.Yeah,I know that after 30years things have changed;it's no longer marvellous tomeet another sf fan,and there may be as many as threetimes as many fanzine fans in this country as we had inthose days.But the thought that a mere letter ofcomment should be loaded with such weighty signif1-cance that you can't bear the possibility(note -thepossibility)of it not being printed strikes me asdistinctly bizarre.  \nFandom is for fun.Olde \"50s proverb.Of course,things have altered,and,as I remarked to a recentcorrespondent,it didn't occur to us that some peoplefound their fun in pulling the wings off flies.Butit does seem to me that fanz ine publish ing of whatevercalibre should be encouraged,es","cbCaidQrEwG05emp","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidQrEwG05emp","pdf",3690487,27,"English","# Editorial and Fan Commentary\n##
