SPECIAL NOTE: There’s a TAFF race on (Trans-Atlantic Fan Fund) and one of the candidates is an Amazing Stories contributor – John Purcell. Based on that alone, Amazing Stories is endorsing John for this race. There are a lot of other reasons as well to do so, not the least of which is John’s publication of your publisher’s rant in Shitgibbon: The Ranthology. John is also a talented writer and fanzine publisher, plus, I think he plays guitar. You can read John’s candidacy statement here and here. You can learn about all of the candidates here and you can obtain a ballot here.
