FANFARE 27 STRANGE INTERLUDES picture. Confucius say (it's clean) that one picture is worth a thousand words, so let's have some art, Art, by Art—what say??? LOUIS RUSSELL CHAUVENET editor of another little nifty, DETOURS by name, and charter member of THE STRANGER CLUB writes from Virginia: "Cover is zingo- ie gets a 9 rating. Add all the times I give Harry's (Warner—awjr.) covers 4's and 5's! The editorial Is brilliant and witty, far above the average fan-mag ed. (ahem) 7. Swisher's thing isn't much more than space filler as he will readily admit. 5. RED BLOOD Is good. 8. SHALL WE EDIT? is over-pretentious, Hell, yes; if I ran fan-fiction, I'd slice it up one side and chop it down the other. The biography, considering the choice of subject, could not fail to interest me but its value is considerably lessened by a base, vile slander contained therein! I wish it emphatically to be known that my actual height Is six feet even, and by no means 5' 11" as Earl states with such terminological inexactitude. 8. POLL NEWS—I like it. But I see it everywhere, in practically all the fanmags I open. Can't you be a little more exclusive. (We could but then a fewer number of fans would see it, and a fewer number would vote, so I'd be defeating my object which is taking as large polls as possible--awjr) 6. DOINGS—could be better. Should be better; 5 this time. Looking em over—well, if you want to give me all those compliments, I won't complain. 7. since you're a better critic than most (you like DETOURS, you Intelligent fellow!} Q&A—say, 5. STRANGE INTERLUDES (a nice title for the dept—koff, koff!) gets a 6, I thlnk..." THE LAST MINUTE DEPARTMENT Instead of pushing it off into the poor editorial, as is usually done in fanmags, we will have this special department to take care of things we omitted In the main body of the mag, apologies, explanations, forecasts, and a hodge-podge of whatever is lying around and need to be put in somewhere. You don't need to bother reading it unless you are conscious of a gap somewhere and are looking for something to fill it up. On the other hand you may like the idea. We never know how these things are going to turn out. First, for the benefit of fans who are seeing news of the poll for the first time, please send Widner a list of ten favorites in order of preference, or five, according to what poll you are voting in. No more author votes please. Only six sets of ratings were received, and thanx to Brazier, Rajocz, Gilbert, Tarr, Martin, and Chauvenet for them... Here's the way the stuff turned out: RED BLOOD—8.6, BIOG of LRC-8.2, SHALL WE EDIT?—7.8, POLL NEWS—7.4, DOTS~7.5, STRANGE INTERLUDES—7.3, EDIT0RIAL--7.08, C0VER--7.0, FANMAG REVU—6.9, Q&A—6.8, UNDER THE BORDER-5.6, Issue as a whole rated 7.3 which isn't too bad. We would appreciate It very such if everyone that gets the mag would rate It by a system of 0-100, instead of the Warnerian 1-10. 100 of course would be perfect, 90 excellent, 80 good, 70 fair, 60 just passable, and so on down thru the various degrees of lousy, to zero, the ultimate stink... The following subscribers' subscriptions expire with this issue: Gertrude Kuslan, Chris E. Mulrain, Jr., Ray Bersi and Sam Moskowltz. (p5)
