24 SPACEWAYS THE READERS ALWAYS WRITE vanced world. Fan editors can be simple and expressive in their publications-- or present a technical masterpiece to rival the layouts of any of the top-notch pro magazines. " I feel sure fanzine publications will always be a part, a big part, of science fiction. " Enough of that. Spaceways rec'd, enjoyed......"Ave Atque Vale!"--I have only read a few of Lovecraft's stories, but they'll never be forgotten. Please have some more about him. And selected short subjects: Jack F Speer: John Gergen apparently isn't aware that omitting the underlining in letters that come below the line, as in Egypt, is an old Ackermanese custom, and a thing to be insisted on with the same perverse firmness as is exhibited in "an hypothesis" and "a history". Leslie A. Croutch: For the luvva mike, where did you ever get the idea that Rugcutter looked like that Mick? I definitely said he was a Russian. If you can't get more sense in cuts, for the love of (Censored; this is a family magazine! HW) leave them out. Spaceways is being definitely retrograded because of the lousy cuts. When the readers said pix we meant pix, not popcorn imitations. Edward C. Connor: "Man and Time" by R. L. Farnsworth is putrid. I suppose I shouldn't comment on it with my verse being the only other one in the issue, but the errors are so obvious. In the first place, Farnsowrth is very inconsistent; the various stanzas are faltering in meter. I believe lrc said the same about R. L.'s last poem. The first stanza has a rhythm which can only be described as glaringly amateur. Phil Bronson: Enjoyed Ave Atque Vale! very much. Very interested in Cole's references to Lovecraft's allergy to cold. Donald Wandrei, who knew Lovecraft quite well, mentioned this allergy in a speech to the MFS on fantasy notables last year. According to Wandrei, one of the effects of intense cold on Lovecraft, was to cause a dreadful bloating accompanied with severe pain. Another interesting fact about the writer, which Wandrei related, was his passion for ice cream; he apparently just loved the stuff. On one occasion, Lovecraft, Wandrei, and several other authors went into a certain Eastern establishment specializing in ice-cream (they advertised 28 flavors), sat down and placed their orders. After several huge servings Wandrei could hold no more, but the others kept right on until they had eaten all 28 kinds! J. J. Fortier: In my article, I intended toignore other known facts, Speer. And I hold still a world of time & length of little consequence. Math is lovely, but it is an invented science, not a true one.....I could explain many things to Doug, but I can see heis a hair-splitter.
