DREAM QUEST 11 We should like to announce one thing beforehand. Mr. Elliott has made this yarn a satire and parody throughout. It was inevitable that fen, as well as editors and authors, should be parodied in its contents. Realizing that we might end up with libel suits on our hands, we have decided to announce: Any fan who objects to being parodied or satirized please tell us so, and we will see that your name (or parody thereon) and your publications (parodied) shall be mentioned nowhere in the serial's course. And we won't reveal it if you do not care to be manhandled -- we don't want anybody to think you are a poor sport. If we receive no objections, we shall consider that we have been given clear license to satirize, and Mr. Elliott shall be free to proceed accordingly. Okay? ..Oh, yes, one more thing: this doesn't mean that all fen are to be punned and poked fun at. Only ones such as Elliott sees fit. These chapters will probably run an average of five pages per part, although they may vary from that. As we say, the serial will be humorous in nature, and Mr. Elliott and we, the editors, assure all and sundry that no malicious intent is thought of at all -- the shole idea is fun, all the way around. We hope none of you take it seriously. We desire to remain in good standing in fandom, and Elliott doesn't want to be barred forever from membership because of a misunderstanding. One way or another, we want your comments, pro and con. if you don't like the serial, it will be promptly canned with no hard feelings anywhere. If you like it, it will go on to greater glories. In any event, it is an experiment that will probably provide a few laughs somewhere in its pages. Also in the next issue will be some more of Marijane's poetry. And number 2 of Peabody's Futurescope. Gilbert Swenson will dissect the proz which come out between now and then, and we hope that a lot of you fans will have your names on bylines in the issue. We would like, too, to make CAVE OF THE WINDS fill up a heck of a lot of space. If enough letters are received, we will make a twenty page letter column. And you may be assured that if no fan names appear in #2 it won't be on account of rejections by us. ### ****************************** NOTICE! NOTICE! The THIRTEENTH subscription received to begin with Issue #2 will be given for DOUBLE the amount of issues ordered. If order #13 is for three copies, the lucky guy will receive six -- and so on. Incidentally,t his goes for you guys who already have #2 coming because of material submitted, too -- if you order #s 3, 4, and 5 and are #13, you'll have four copies ordered and hence get 8. Does this sound okay? Okay -- SUBSCRIBE!
