  1. It might be nice to mention who actually produced the winning fanzines.

    Typically, the idea of winning an award is to honor the winning people. Not mentioning who they are doesn’t do them much honor by keeping them unknown.

    The overwhelming implication is that one need not mention who produces these fanzines, because all the people that matter already know.

    And then fanzine fans wonder why no new young fanzine fans are coming along.

  2. Gary Farber: And then fanzine fans wonder why no new young fanzine fans are coming along.

    Yet somehow they do. Amazing what one learns by looking at eFanzines.

    But if you think naming Claire Brialey and Mark Plummer as the producers of Banana Wings will bring in even more, you should probably go ahead and do that, rather than wasting effort on shaming me, as Gary as that is to do.

  4. Gary:

    “Mike, please also list the names of the editors with the winning fanzines. Thank you.”

    No shaming. Not overly wordy. Neutral. Polite.

    Consider it, Gary, since you used to work with words.
