  • SFC Update Vol. 1 No. 17
    SoUTheRN FANDOM CONFEDeRATiON UPDATE VoLUMe 1, NuMBeR 17 JAnUaRY 2011 2 3 Editorial Apology: It’s been too long. I’d meant to get back to the monthly publishing schedule once ReConStruction was through. I even made a go at it, getting out an issue (sloppily thrown together, but complete enough), and doing most of the work towards another one. Exhaustion set in, and the half-issue I had fell by the wayside. Then I went through a breakup, and didn’t much feel like working on zines (somewhere in this period, my membership in SFPA lapsed, for real this time – I hope to make a return in time for the 50 th anniversary). Now, it’s a new year, and I’m ready to make a go at it again. This issue is nearly complete, and it’s my traditional day for wrapping it – the first Thursday of the month. I’ve been working with some local fans on starting an annual con here in Raleigh, and we should have something substantial to announce on that shortly. I’m still fairly involved in other folks’ cons, though I’m not going to chair one again for a while. In case anyone was wondering but hadn’t heard, the NASFiC did better than break-even, so once we’ve got all of the bills wrapped up, we’ll do a partial reimbursement for staff, volunteers, and program participants. The cover this issue is once again from Jose Sanchez, who’s provided an absolute wealth of pieces, so I’m running some as interiors, too.
