SwanCon 1 – Cygnetures – Impressions: a blurry-eyed conreport – Clifford R Wind

Transcribed by Elaine Walker. All idiosyncracies of type faithfully reproduced Impressions:a blurry-eyed conreport I refuse to start at the beginning. To do that would require, if not my whole fannish history (such as it is), at least an explanation of why a homebody Yank like myself should hie himself out beyond the black stump to… Continue reading SwanCon 1 – Cygnetures – Impressions: a blurry-eyed conreport – Clifford R Wind

SwanCon 1 – Cygnetures – untitled piece

In the beginning there was darkness. This prevailed until the dawn, when over the horizon there appeared the first beginnings of true intelligence. This small force grew and continued to grow, it got bigger, more powerful until it was so strong it burst through the fabric of the unreal to the real. At first it… Continue reading SwanCon 1 – Cygnetures – untitled piece

SwanCon 1 – Cygnetures – Prose by Graham Gough

From Cygnetures. All typos faithfully reproduced. Why do sci fi fans take it so seriously? As a person who reads sci fi whenever I get the opportunity, which with two kids, a wife, one cat and a house to look after does not leave much time available.
