(I suppose you could call this a "fix-up" bibliography since it is the melding of previously "published" material into a new unified whole. And, in the true van Vogtian tradition, I've not only revised it but I've given it a new title as well.) The last versions of both are still available for download as a single ZIP file for those who would like them for whatever reason. The format of the Compendium has been retained with only a few alterations while adding the bibliographic information of the Database. A section for short stories has accordingly been added. The ugly and outdated Database is eliminated, while retaining all of its positive traits, and the usefulness of the Compendium is drastically improved. No longer will you have to jump between the two while looking something up — all information has been pooled into just one document. This new format's interface is more intuitive, alphabetically arranged rather than chronological, and with all items thoroughly cross- indexed with internal hyperlinks. -

Eurocon at Trieste by Waldemar Kumming Eurocon I Had About 630 Members
No. 38/39 July/August 1972 Eurocon at Trieste by Waldemar Kumming Eurocon I had about 630 members. There were about 370 attending memberships, but judging by appearance less than that number of fans were actually at the convention. The fans were scattered in many hotels all over the town. The con activities also took place at various locations. Festival films were shown in the mornings, in a movie theater in the center of the town. Perhaps because of the scarcity of such films, the trend away from straight sf was even more pronounced than in previous years. Among the full-length films there was only one that could really be called an sf film: Silent Running, by the Stanley Kubrick disciple Douglas Trumbull. This won a much deserved award from the film jury. Unfortunately many fans who had come at the start of the convention missed it, since this film was shown during the first days of the film festival, which started much earlier than the convention. Doomwatch from England described strange happenings on a small island, which are finally traced to piles of radioactive waste. The French film Les soleils de Vile de Paques was a borderline case. While the theme of a meeting with extraterrestrials (in the form of fireballs, hence the suns in the title) is certainly sf, it is presented in a mystical and magical way. The central idea is also quite unbelievable: a constellation in the heavens, occurring only every 500 years, and somehow centering on Easter Island, enables the aliens to bridge the gulf to Earth. -

The Wright Stuff
Six Pillars of Space Opera Sept 11th, 2013 by Bill Wright. Rob Gerrand and Mervyn R Binns Synopsis This article provides information from different perspectives about six great pioneers of Space Opera, Edward Elmer ‘Doc’ Smith (1890 - 1965) Alfred Elton van Vogt (1912-2000) Isaac Asimov (1920 - 1992) Jack (John Holbrook) Vance (1916 - 2013) Paul Myron Anthony Linebarger (1913 – 1966) writing as Cordwainer Smith and Arthur Bertram Chandler (1912 – 1984), Most of the following was written by the 2013 DUFF winner, Australian fan Bill Wright. Rob Gerrand contributed his obituary to Jack Vance, who died aged 96 on May 26th, 2013. The science wasn’t always sound, but those six pioneers of SF wrote rattling good yarns, creating universes and peopling them with heroes and villains in an astonishing variety of ways. The information on Bert Chandler was provided by his friend Mervyn R Binns, winner of the Forrest J Ackerman Big Heart Award at Aussiecon 4, 68th Worldcon in Melboure (Australia) in 2010. One of many images of universal destruction that abound in early Space Opera After the trauma of the 1930s Great Depression and World War II, westerns, mystery writing and detective stories no longer satisfied a voracious public demand for escapist literature. Space Opera offered liberation from Earthly concerns – at least in one’s mind – and was embraced enthusiastically by millions. The atomic bomb had demonstrated the power of science, albeit most people were hazy about the scientific method if they had heard of it at all. That changed with education, which improved greatly from and including the 1960s. -
