Only two this week, both representing Hugo Award winning efforts in the field of fanzine publication, one hailing from the pre-internet era, the other a product of that era, and both invaluable resources for both Amazing Stories and fans in general.
FILE 770 from MIke Glyer.
Mike’s File 770 has been a mainstay of fannish news coverage since 1978. File 770 began as a mimeographed (look it up) publication and continues as an electronic (PDF) publication as well as a daily updated website.
Mike provides straight coverage of fannish news, from cons to awards, feuds, an inside look at well-known personalities and the occasional touch of fannish humor.
Mike Glyer and File 770 have been nominated for Hugo Awards (for Best Fan Writer and Best Fanzine respectively) a total of 45 times – THE most times anyone or anything has been nominated. File 770 has won the Best Fanzine Hugo six times and MIke Glyer has won the Best Fan Writer Hugo Award three times. Mike was also the recipient of a special committee award presented at the 1982 Worldcon for Keeping the Fan in Fanzine Publishing.
