VOICE OF THE IMAGI-NATION 5 Art WIDNER JR - "The Poll Cat" of Bx 122, Bryantville MASS, says: "Dear FandM: Here's where I had to go in order to get these 3 dimes 4 u: [[illustration]] MOE DE FENCE "HOT" FANZINES CHEAP! COBWEBS MADIES MIMEO TWO BITS MOE DE FENCE [[end illustration]] "Yeah, de fence program is giving us a lot of trouble. Espesh if Sec Ix gasless Sunday idea goes thru. Its hard enuf getting to th Denvention as it is. "Anyhow, even tho certain fans dont care for my letters in VoM, I just got 2 b in the Denvention ish no matter what they think. After that, I will quietly step out again. "Also, I owe ansers 2 2 postals from u 4e, which might make interesting reading. 1st, u propose to take---or rather propose for me to take a poll all in one week. Heheh. U shoud noe better than that. After I get my Denvention bills cleaned up I'll be able to afford to buy return postals and conduct polls that way, which'll be much quicker than putting pleas in fnz (proper abbr for 'fanzine', by the way; 'fmz' is too confusing when spoken) and consequently more accurate, but noing the lethargy encompassing most fans, if I can cut the total time taking a poll down to one month, I'll be happy. "On yr 2nd postal u suggest the question: 'Which would you rather be -- Top Fan, #1 Author, or Editor of Best Pro?' (By the way again, shame on u 4 2 weeks 4e, u put an l in woud--tsk! I'll never get over it! No crax about wood tix, either!) (I wooden think of it, ARt...ah, one of those good old corn-crax! The explanation of the offensively orthodox spelling was that I was wording the question for possible presentation thru U to fandom, not as an idea of myn.) But to get back, I think the question very hard to answer unqualifiedly. Personally, ied like to be ed of the best pro, provided i was the boss, and dictated the policies of the mag alone. Itd probably flop shortly after but ied have a grandin glorious time making a super-colossal fanzine out of it. Otherwise, I spose Id rather be ed of top fnz, but not necessarily'top'fan. Iel think over the possibility of using that question, tho, and ide like to hear from any other fans with questions of a sykological nature to be asked in the research. I spose for the benefit of those who dont quite know what this is about, ide better state that i soon intend to make a sykological research of the fan field to find out of i can the basic reason as to 'y is a fan' and'what r little fans made of?'
