But fans have always stnessed the fiction aspect of science fiction, and except for a few notable exceptions, prodom has done likewise I'd like to attrib- ute this solely to the nature of com- munication. in fandom—writing--but it’s not wholly that. Certainly the medium of expression naturally tends to make fans concern themselves more with literary subjects; somehow, though, that doesn't offer a full explan- ation. People are usually attracted to fandom through science fiction, and in -burn only stumble upon stf after a few years of active reading in other fields* It’s only natural for them to follow this in­ terest while in fandom.

Given a party at which both an author and a scientist were present, fans would probably flock to the former, Every once in a while someone will state that one of the aims of stf is to bring about a better understanding of the advancement of mankind (or something) and the Significance of The Exploration of Space, and all that— and yet fans remain curiously unmoved to take part in any activity which would support a general inter­ est in this.
