Contents AOY-01 MARCONETTE, SPEER & CHAUVENET (From Fanvariety #7 — April 1951) Dedication I originally planned to dedicate this omnibus to the man who had actually written it, ie, Harry Warner Jr. When I asked him about this dedication, he declined, and in turn suggested it be dedicated to me for actually compiling and printing it. It was then my turn to decline the offer. We finally came to a compromise, and that was to dedicate this omnibus to you, the reader, on the understanding that if just one of you out there reading this enjoys it as much as either Harry did when writing it, or as much as I did when gathering the pieces and printing them off, then we will both consider this project a total success.

A beta-test edition of this was completed some six years later, just prior to ATTITUDE The Convention (Tuesday 11th February 1997.) That highlighted the fragile nature of the viewer in use at the time, and also the limitations of working on a single platform (Windows 95.) In order to allow a much broader user access, both Adobe Acrobat and the ETPS programmes have been employed in order to both compact the text, add colour, automate the display, and make the access to AOY more user-friendly – ETPS is a stand- alone system, and Acrobat PDF file readers are available, free of charge, for PC, Mac, Unix and Linux platforms. The final-final edition was released in the UK at SECCON (28th – 30th May 1999.) One person who deserves a special mention is Bill Bowers – not only for prodding me on a regular basis via e-mails, but re- injecting enthusiasm into the project. This is all your fault, Bill. The original paper account of AOY’s history (and how both Harry Warner and I viewed the project) is recounted below, mainly for those coming to this collection for the first time. The question, I suppose, is why go through all the typing again? Two things — one I know and the other I suspect. Firstly, the original paper edition hit many criticisms (some justified, some nit-picky, and some just pointless) but has slowly sold itself down to the last handful of copies. Feedback also seems to indicate that people are using the paper copies as reference tools as well as for the nostalgia contained within them. This “Electric” version should make referencing and annotation easier. And, lastly, because the intervening years have seen not only an advancement in readily available technology — along with a new breed of fan who isn’t afraid to use it in the same way I used to use a manual typewriter and stencils — I felt it was time to cater for them as well. As to whether this is the first true electric fan production? I know not — and care less. I would hazard a guess to say that it is the first fanthology on a coloured 3½-inch HD disc to be produced with a wraparound colour cover, disc label and its own little clear perspex box. And you don’t get those kind of goodies when you download from the Web. My final comment before going into the original intro is more of a request:— That these files not be duplicated (except for personal backup purposes), uploaded onto a BBS or Website without requesting first, and that any quotes taken from this edition be credited to this edition. Now, let me take you back to 1986, via 1991, to tell you how the Beast was born…. Notes for bastard reviewers of this fanzine art….. (Sorry!) Notes for fanzine reviewers of this bastard art….. I suppose it depends on what and how you would view such an undertaking as this omnibus. Personally I don’t particularly consider it specifically a work of fanhistory as there was no intention of such when I took on the project. Nor does it set itself out to be the definitive collection of articles penned by Harry – such was never the case (a task, it must be said, which would prove impossible before it even got started). No, if this should be viewed as anything other than a collection of fanzine articles, then the point has been missed because that is what I have tried to do here – setting the pieces out on their own, giving each a title illustration, the endings, where they required it, have artwork, and where the articles end on a right-hand page they are backed with a full page illustration so that (a) each new section starts as it should, on the right-hand page (which makes it easier to read) and (b) no fanzine editors like blank pages in their fanzines, do they? One of the biggest comments (complaints?) will be the lack of page numbers to this collection. What can I say, except that, during my eleven years of fanzine production (at the time of typing this, that is) I have almost never put a page count in any of my fanzines. This attitude is nothing new (see the section about Harry’s own HORIZONS}and I doubt I would have completed this project if I had had some running record of just how many pages I had turned out or, more importantly, how many pages were left to type. There may also be comments about certain sections and their history seeming fuzzy. For that I can but lay down this brief history of the project. In 1986 I was involved in a 9-month circumnavigation of the globe. Towards the end of that deployment I received a package from home which contained a pile of photocopied ’pages’. These, it turned out, came from Paul "Skel" Skelton, who, in turn, had received eighty stencils from Richard Bergeron, and a list of articles that Harry had written under his umbrella title of ALL OUR YESTERDAYS. Both of us had expressed an interest in the original project, started by Richard {who was unable to finish it), but that Skel believed that there was too much work involved in getting the thing into print (there were, at that particular time, 10 articles to be found, and the eighty stencils needed retyping into an A4 – or Quarto – format as the margins were American sized and unsalvageable.} Whatever, Skel kindly passed everything onto me (including some very helpful notes concerning inconsistencies in the text) and I decided that although I would take it on, it would also be something a little different from a run-of -the mill fanzine. Dave Collins was contacted for the article headers, a job which he almost managed to complete before he was fafiated, Shep Kirkbride and Kevin Clark thankfully stepped in to help finish the job. Chris Suslowicz was contacted for the colour duplication, which proved to be more difficult and time delaying than any of us thought possible (problems with stencils, duplicators, and ink, being amongst them} which is why you will find several headers in black following each other.

    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENTS OF ENGLISH AND PHILOSOPHY PREVENTING FUTURES: RAY BRADBURY AND THE PHILOSOPHY OF PROGRESS KENDYL KEESEY SPRING 2014 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a baccalaureate degrees in English and Philosophy with honors in English and Philosophy Reviewed and approved* by the following: Vincent Colapietro Liberal Arts Research Professor of Philosophy Thesis Supervisor Honors Adviser Lisa Sternlieb English Honors Adviser Honors Adviser Richard Doyle Liberal Arts Research Professor Faculty Reader * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. ABSTRACT History, philosophy, and literature are closely related, and they often respond to each other. Historical events frequently prompt changes in both philosophy and in literary style. Whether or not these changes themselves form a pattern of progress according to a historical narrative is open to question, a question that this thesis takes up through literary texts This thesis will focus primarily on two topics: the idea of progress and the work of Ray Bradbury. The very idea of progress-or the idea that humankind has and will continue to improve indefinitely- emerged as the result of a specific set of historical circumstances and persisted until World War II. Afterwards, there was a fundamental attitude shift away from this idea and toward a distrust of innovation and progress. In this thesis, I will show that a similar philosophical arc takes place in the work of Ray Bradbury; his ideologies shift as a result of World War II in a similar way to many philosophers at the time. To what extent can Bradbury’s ideas actually influence this type of progress? Is this shift in Bradbury’s ideology an attempt at progress in itself? ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Acknowledgements .................................................................................................................

  • Electric Hive Minds Italian Science fiction Fandom in the Digital Age
    Electric hive minds Italian science fiction fandom in the Digital Age Giulia Iannuzzi University of Trieste Abstract Today science !ction fandom seems to have achieved full critical recognition in all its complexity and segmentations, as an extraordinary vantage point from which to observe ongoing changes in the relationships between cultural industries and the public, and monitor developments in an increasingly interconnected mediascape. "is essay looks at some critical issues regarding the activities of Italian science !ction fans, starting from central questions on their use of media and their accomplishments: where can fannish activities be positioned in relation to the professional !elds of science !ction cultural production across di#erent media? How have the new media, by making new spaces and tools available to produce content and connect people, in$uenced fans’ activities and the form and workings of fannish communities? And how, in turn, have these people and their activities in$uenced media development and the shape of the contemporary Italian mediascape? Provisional answers are provided to these questions drawing on existing primary sources, testimonies and contributions on past decades, and on a survey conducted in 2015 to capture the present state of Italian fandom. Keywords: convention, fan club, fan !ction, fanzine, Italian science !ction fandom, new media, science !ction sociology "e social and sociological aspects of the reception of science !ction as a genre, expressed through the existence and cross-media activities of a specialized fandom, is a fascinating phenomenon that is still waiting, in the Italian context, to receive the attention it deserves from critics and scholars. Science !ction is a genre endowed with a strong identity (an easily recognizable transmedia megatext [Broderick 2015; Csicsery-Ronay 2008: 257n4]), which has produced a vast range of di#erent appropriation practices over the years.

Bradbury’s new introduction to the Fortieth Anniversary Edition recalls the crucial moment of rediscovery, a New York luncheon in June 1949 with Don Congdon, Bradbury’s literary agent, and Doubleday editor Walter I. Bradbury (no relation). At the urging of California writer Norman Corwin, the twenty-nine-year-old author had traveled to New York from Los Angeles with fifty new stories and enough money to stay at the YMCA for a week.

  • A Research Guide to the Fiction of Robert A. Heinlein
    The Man Who Sold the Future: A Research Guide to the Fiction of Robert A. Heinlein. Candace R. Benefiel College Station, TX March , 2001 1 2 Section One Introduction In the years between 1939 and 1969, Robert A. Heinlein was widely acknowledged to be the “Dean of American Science Fiction Writers.” Although styles and tastes in science fiction have changed over the years, Heinlein is still considered one of the foremost writers in the field, and many of his works are considered classics. Bibliography for Heinlein presents several challenges. The primary materials are often publications in “pulp” magazines and other popular periodicals. For many of these serials indexing is at best spotty, at worst, non-existant. Many of Heinlein’s novels were first published in serial form, then published as books under different titles. In some cases, the book versions were revised extensively. As many of the young adult novels were published just in time to take advantage of the Christmas buying season, one has to imagine the disappointment of children excitedly opening their new Heinlein book, only to find a story they had already read in Boy’s Life. Some of the short stories have been anthologized repeatedly; others remained uncollected for decades after their first appearances. Non-fiction essays and speeches pose yet another problem, one which the present guide sidesteps by focusing only on fiction. Citations for primary sources were drawn from the various bibliographies on Heinlein, including a bibliography which appeared as an appendix to Grumbles from the Grave, and Donald Day’s Index to the Science Fiction Magazines, 1926-1950 (Boston: Hall 1982).
