Fantasy Newsletter

Fantasy Newsletter was a major fantasy fanzine founded by Paul C. Allen and later issued by Robert A. Collins. Frequent contributors included Fritz Leiber and Gene Wolfe.

Publication history

The first issue appeared in June 1978, and Allen continued publication until October 1981. It was then taken over without a break by Collins, director of the International Conference on the Fantastic in the Arts at Florida Atlantic University. At the beginning of 1984, it was combined with Science Fiction and Fantasy Book Review, and given a new title, Fantasy Review. At this point, it became a semi-prozine, with substantial bookstore sales, and provided the widest coverage of science fiction and fantasy books then in existence. The magazine folded with issue #103, July/August 1987, but the review section continued as Science Fiction and Fantasy Book Review Annual well into the 1990s.

Awards

The magazine won the Balrog Award and the World Fantasy Award.

gollark: I mean, you could allow use of arrays of bytes (well, tables) if it's that awful.

gollark: Well, it's a useful feature, adding an option doesn't seem *too* awful since lua is stupid and has no dedicated byte buffer type, and wait I only have two things to say.

gollark: ... how else would it work? Magic autodetection?

gollark: Er, `sendBinary`

gollark: `send_binary`?
