FADEAWAY #45 Is a Fanzine Devoted to Science Fiction and Related Fields --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FADEAWAY #45 is a fanzine devoted to science fiction and related fields of interest, and is produced by Robert Jennings, 29 Whiting Rd., Oxford, MA 01540-2035, email [email protected]. Copies are available for a letter of comment, or a print fanzine in trade, or by subscription at a cost of $20.00 for six issues. Letters of comment are much preferred. Any person who has not previously received a copy of this fanzine may receive a sample copy of the current issue for free by sending me your name and address. Publication is bi-monthly. This is the June-July 2015 issue __________________________________________________________________________________________ YEAH, WE’RE LATE Months late, in fact. As I have mentioned on several past occasions, I never want to be one of those people who bores everyone to tears talking about his assorted medical or personal problems. I also don’t want to bore everybody talking about the past winter, the snowiest winter around here since records have been kept. There was a lot of snow, over 130 inches of the stuff, mostly all coming in the months of Jan thru early Mar, but now, in late May, everything is gone except the harsh memories. I didn’t slip and fall on the snow or ice, which happened to a lot of people around here, including a close friend, and altho a woman ran into the side of my car as I was driving thru an intersection, the damage and inconvenience was relatively minor compared to some of the horrendous accidents that have happened in the area. There was ice related roof damage at the warehouse which led to leakage/water problems including some ruined merchandise, but stuff happens, you have to go with the flow. Unfortunately arthritis pains are making my life miserable. I also have vision problems which I hope cataract surgery next month will help alleviate. This has all contributed to my not doing much writing or fanac of late. Fadeaway has been on a strict bi-monthly schedule since I restarted it five years ago, but it is off schedule. I skipped the Feb issue, and I skipped the April deadline as well. Part of this is due to the fact that of the six people who have promised to write articles for me not a single one of them has delivered anything yet. Some people have been working on their project for close to a year; longer than that for one individual. Somehow back when I restarted Fadeaway I never envisioned having to write almost everything except the letter column myself, but that is what has happened with this, the overdue issue #45. I plan to try and resume the bi-monthly schedule. I still have some articles and reviews I want to write, and I hope some of those folks who are working on articles for the zine will come thru. Time, of course, will tell. THE LATEST HUGO AWARDS INSANITY Several people have written to me asking my opinion on the current/latest controversy involving the Hugo Awards. Originally intended to be awards for the best science fiction and fantasy produced the previous year in many different forms and formats, the awards are given out annually at the World Science Fiction Convention. For a long time there has been quite a lot of controversy about the Hugo Awards and how relevant they might be. This year there are several groups of fans both semi-organized and otherwise, who have objected, strongly to what they believe is a bias on the past of Hugo voters for literature in both long and short form that happens to echo whatever hot-button ultra-liberal causes might be current at the time the ballots are cast. There are other groups semi-organized and otherwise who say this is nonsense, that people simply vote on what they happen to like, and they tend to vote for good writing, not social agendas. Another group, not organized in any way, has been saying for a long time that the Hugo Awards really have no relevance whatsoever about what is happening in the world of science fiction and fantasy, particularly in the areas of written material, because fewer and fewer fans every year are reading that many new novels, let alone following the myriad outlets for shorter fiction. Considering how much material is now scattered around the world from dozens of different publishers, many quite obscure, as well as magazines, books, and short fiction outlets available solely on-line via the internet, many of which do not advertise their presence very well, this seems to be a very valid opinion. I happen to support this particular opinion myself. 2 In addition, the only people who can nominate and vote on the Hugo Awards are people who have signed up for membership in the upcoming world science fiction convention each year. Voting is open to both individuals who purchase full attending membership, and those who do not plan to actually attend, but support the convention via associate memberships (currently $40 per person). In past decades those who attended and supported the yearly World Science Fiction Convention were the elite of SF fandom; the most involved, knowledgeable, articulate, and well read members of our little hobby. That concept has ceased to apply for quite a long time now. In modern times many of the people who attend the convention view it primarily as a social event to meet and interact with friends old and new. Their interest in the literature, or even the electronic side of it, movies, TV, podcasts and the like, is limited, for whatever reasons. In addition, the hard facts of life are that very few people who buy memberships to the convention bother to vote in either the nominating process, or the final balloting. Some people who do vote only fill in specific parts of the ballot. In these instances the electronic categories: the movies, the TV shows, podcasts and related areas such as graphic novels, usually draw much higher vote counts than the rest of the categories. This year there were only 2,122 nominating ballots cast all total. In the past I have noted that due to the peculiarities of the ballot system (the so-called “Australian Ballot” process), often people/titles that are initially the most popular do not win. In addition a lot of voters have no knowledge or interest in the specific fan related categories such as best fanzine, best fan artist, best fan writer, and if they even bother to vote, they often fill in the ballot for those categories in a random manner based on whether they have perhaps heard the name of a nominee rather than having actually encountered and experienced the work of the person/title they finally vote for. If you think I am exaggerating this, let me just make a couple of points here. In my opinion, and in the opinions of a large number of other people who read and reviews books, two of the very best SF novels which were published this past year were “The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August” by Clair North (a pseudonym of Catherine Webb), and “The Martian” by Andy Weir. 3 “The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August” is a remarkable tale of an immortal who lives, and when he dies, begins another life right back at the very point of his birth, but retains all the knowledge and experience he has picked up in his previous lives. In this case, the frustrations, perils, and “rules” of recycled immortality are tied with a bizarre mystery, and a race, a heroic effort, to somehow change the future as he lives it trying to prevent the world from being destroyed. This is a incredible tale, an extraordinary tour de force that not only displays astonishing plot depth but also delivers it with a remarkable writing style. This is a story that pulls the reader into the story and makes him a part of the adventure as Harry struggles against the bizarre odds, and against himself, trying to figure out how he can mend the future, solve the mystery, live with his own bizarre version of immortality, and satisfy the little girl who appeared by his deathbed at the end of his fifteenth life. This is one of the very best novels I have read in the past dozen years, and I’ve read a whole lot of SF/fantasy in the past decade or so. This novel is a work of near genius, and it is a book I recommend unhesitantly to every person who has even the slightest interest in science fiction. “The Martian” is the tale of an astronaut who has an accident on a Martian exploration voyage and is believed dead by his fellow crewmen. His body is left behind on Mars when the mission blasts off for the return trip to Earth. But the protagonist is alive and must figure out a way to survive in the hostile Martian environment, and somehow let his fellow humans know he is still alive. It is a fast moving, gripping tale of hard science, and adventure, both harrowing and genuinely scary in lots of places. It is the kind of book you cannot put down once you start reading because you want to see what is going to happen next. This is another book I can recommend without hesitation to any science fiction reader. Just allow yourself plenty of time to finish it all in one stretch, because you will not want to stop reading this novel once you start.

Overleden: 1982 Zoals veel juniorenmysteries, is de Nancy Drew-serie bedacht en werd (althans in het begin) de plot geschetst door Edward Stratemeyer [> Franklin W. Dixon] van het Stratemeyer Concern. Zijn dochter, Harriet Stratemeyer Adams nam later de uitgeverij over en claimde lange tijd de schrijver te zijn van àlle Nancy Drew-verhalen vanaf 1930 tot 1982. Onderzoek bracht aan het licht dat dit niet het geval was. De Nancy-verhalen werden, evenals andere Stratemeyer-series, geschreven door een aantal voorheen anonieme professionele schrijvers, waarvan de belangrijkste Mildred A. Wirt Benson (zie onder) was tot het moment dat Harriet Adams in 1953 (vanaf nummer 30) inderdaad begon met het schrijven van nieuwe delen en ook de oude delen vanaf 1959 reviseerde. Opmerkelijk en uniek is de zorgvuldigheid waarmee geprobeerd werd alle sporen omtrent de ‘echte’ auteurs uit te wissen. Byzantijnse plotten en samenzweringen werden gesmeed om veranderde copyrights; dossiers van The Library of Congress verdwenen en niet bestaande overheidsambtenaren werden opgevoerd om de namen van de ware schrijvers uit de boeken te laten verdwijnen.

  • Abstract MERRILL, ASHLEY CHRISTINE. the Evolution Of
    Abstract MERRILL, ASHLEY CHRISTINE. The Evolution of Nancy Drew, Cultural Icon: Readers, Writers, and Fanfiction Authors. (Under the direction of Mary Helen Thuente.) Nancy Drew is widely recognized as an influential American cultural icon. In this paper I make a detailed examination of Nancy's initial characterization as girl sleuth in the first ten books of the Nancy Drew Mystery Stories, published in the 1930s. I spend another chapter examining the initial volumes of later Nancy Drew series books, specifically the 1960s rewritten texts, the 1980s-90s Nancy Drew Files series, and the contemporary Girl Detective series. My penultimate chapter discusses Nancy Drew as realized in fanfiction, or stories written by readers and fans. My emphasis is on explaining Nancy's appeal as a cultural icon and the ways fanfiction authors reinvent and appropriate that icon for their own purposes in stories. To this end I cite fanfic writers and readers' response to why they read and write Nancy Drew fanfiction, and I analyze the content and function of a sample of stories written by Nancy Drew fans. I conclude that Nancy's appeal and the basis of her status as cultural icon is due to her unique nature as a figure frozen in transition between adolescence and adulthood, along with her more conventionally admirable traits. Her Everygirl appearance when removed from that unique matrix makes her extremely adaptable to readers for their own purposes, both within the context of fanfiction and without.

I READ THIS 180 PAGED BOOK IN ONE DAY, AND IT WAS VERY HARD TO PUT DOWN. THIS IS NOT THE ONLY BOOK I HAVE READ ABOUT NANCY DREW, I RECCOMEND THE OTHERS TOO.ÜÜÜ Susan and Bill had been writing for some time before they began to write mysteries for adults. At the request of readers, book collectors, and librarians, here is a list of all their books, organized according to the name or pseudonym they used. Susan's books (written independently) are listed first; their co-authored books are listed second. Bill's independent writing consists of the computer programs, documentation, and technical manuals he wrote in his previous incarnation as a systems analyst—he didn't think you'd be interested in that stuff. Currently, I am writing a book which focuses on the history of Nancy Drew. A biography on the original "Carolyn Keene," Mildred Wirt Benson, is in the works. While this website is a good introduction into the world of Nancy Drew, you will find in-depth analysis of all things Drew in my upcoming book. One of the earliest book related collectibles is the Nancy Drew Mystery Game issued by Parker Brothers in 1957.

    Series Books Through the Lens of History by David M. Baumann This article first appeared in The Mystery and Adventure Series Review #43, summer 2010 Books As Time Machines It was more than half a century ago that I learned how to type. My parents had a Smith-Corona typewriter—manual, of course—that I used to write letters to my cousins. A few years later I took a “typing class” in junior high. Students were encouraged to practice “touch typing” and to aim for a high number of “words per minute”. There were distinctive sounds associated with typing that I can still hear in my memory. I remember the firm and rapid tap of the keys, much more “solid” than the soft burr of computer “keyboarding”. A tiny bell rang to warn me that the end of the line was coming; I would finish the word or insert a hyphen, and then move the platen from left to right with a quick whirring ratchet of motion. Frequently there was the sound of a sheet of paper being pulled out of the machine, either with a rip of frustration accompanied by an impatient crumple and toss, or a careful tug followed by setting the completed page aside; then another sheet was inserted with the roll of the platen until the paper was deftly positioned. Now and then I had to replace a spool of inked ribbon and clean the keys with an old toothbrush. Musing on these nearly vanished sounds, I put myself in the place of the writers of our series books, nearly all of whom surely wrote with typewriters.

  • {PDF EPUB} 2000 AD Illustrations from The
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} 2000 A.D. Illustrations from the Golden Age of Science Fiction Pulps by Jacques Sadoul Early Science Fiction Pulp Magazines: Resources in Special Collections: Home. The roots of science fiction go back at least as far as Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein , published in 1818. Many historians look back even farther. Science fiction pulps (at least, those in English) date back to 1926, when Hugo Gernsback started the magazin e Amazing Stories. Most science fiction pulps were published monthly or quarterly. They published short stories and novellas, not full-length novels. And, they were printed on very cheap paper -- hence the name. This resource guide covers our holdings of science fiction pulps from 1926 to 1957, including titles that started before 1957 and continued after. Why 1957? That's the year the Soviet Union successfully launched the Sputnik satellite, and the Space Age became a reality! Term paper ideas. The stories, the advertisements, and the cover illustrations for the pulps all offer material for analysis. In any genre, certain stories and authors tend to be reprinted frequently in anthologies, while others are forgotten. Who is forgotten, and why? The advertisements provide clues about what demographic the publishers and advertisers think is reading the magazine. Is it aimed at young readers, teens, adults? Male or female readers? What other interests or concerns are readers assumed to have? The cover illustrations are almost a genre of their own, and would be seen by many more people than read the actual stories - for example, customers at the newsstand who looked at the magazine but bought something else.

  • As Well As Bill Lampkin's the Pulp.Net at and Don't
    Pulp-related books and periodicals available from Mike Chomko for January 2015 Despite plans for a catalog in late October or some time in November, here I am at the beginning of 2015 with more excuses. Of late, everyday life has been interfering a great deal with my bookselling efforts. I’ve had no catalog for months and my shipping has pretty much ground to a halt. That said, I will be very busy shipping books over the next few weeks. As you’ll learn later in this catalog, a great deal of material arrived during the last couple of weeks of November and throughout December. Five more boxes were left on my front porch just after New Year’s Day. So there will be a lot to get out the door during the month of January. Most of my time during the last months of 2014—outside of a week spent helping my son and new daughter-in-law get ready for their wedding—has been spent on our remodeling work and working at the hospital. Most of our remodeling work is very much underway and I am hoping that I’ll be able to get back to a somewhat normal schedule in the months ahead. There is still a good bit of work to do, but the pressures of getting things ready for work to progress are diminishing. Thank you everyone for your patience with me and for your continued support. For those of you who purchase Girasol replicas from me, most if not all of this line will be ending in July 2015.

  • The Ghost of Nancy Drew
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Iowa Research Online The Ghost of Nancy Drew GEOFFREY S. LAPIN "It would be a shame if all that money went to the Tophams! They will fly higher than ever!" Thus begins the first book in a series of titles that has whetted the literary appetites of young readers for well over fifty years. The Secret of the Old Clock by Carolyn Keene was to set the tone of juvenile adventure stories that is still leading young folks into the joys of reading the standard classics of literature. Carolyn Keene has been writing the series books chronicling the adventures of Nancy Drew and the Dana Girls since 1929. With over 175 titles published, the author is still going strong, presently producing over fifteen new books each year. Her titles have been translated into at least twelve different lan­ guages, and sales records state that the volumes sold number in the hundreds of millions. More than the mystery of the endurance of such unlikely literature is the question of who Carolyn Keene is and how one person could possibly be the author of such a record number of "best-sellers." Numerous literary histories offer conflicting information concerning the life of Ms Keene. The one common fact is that there exists no actual person by that name. Carolyn Keene is a pseudonym for the author of the series books. Carolyn Keene was Edward Stratemeyer. Another source says that she was Harriet Adams. Yet others say that she was Edna Squire, Walter Karig, James Duncan Lawrence, Nancy Axelrad, Margaret Scherf, Grace Grote, and a plethora of others.
