--Fan Spectator, Ron Maddox. Added an index page and issue #2 (Feb 47), and relocated the first issue which had been in 1940s One Shots. Pavlat-Evans only recorded the first issue, so I listed it as a one shot. They were wrong. Now, the question is whether or not there are any more.
--Fantasy News (New Series), Ken Beale. Added 2 issues of this newszine: #1 and #4, both Jun 63.
--MT Void, Evelyn and Mark Leeper. Added the 11/24/23 issue. Thanks, Evelyn and Mark.
--Perryscope, Perry Middlemiss. Added the November 23 issue of Perry's perzine. Thanks, Perry.
--Portland Science-Fantasy Society News Bulletin, Don Day. Added 3 issues of this new-to-us newszine from the late 40s. The zines are uncredited, but Pavlat-Evans says they are primarily edited by Don Day.
--Review Section, Ron Holmes. Added 3 issues of this FIDO zine: #4 (Feb 43), 6 (May 43), and 8 (Aug 43). Scans by Rob Hansen. Thanks, Rob!

--1970s One Shots. Added 3: Motor City Madness (Brian Earl Brown, Aug 78), The Poke Salad Days Chronicle (Meade Frierson III, Sep 73) and Yellow HooHah (Rich Small, 74). The dating on Motor City Madness required a little digging. I was able to match up the dates in the paragraph on Autoclave with the dates of Autoclave 3 as listed in Fancyclopedia. Add to that the mention in the zine that the con was last month, and hooray. We have a date.
--Disturbing Element, Bill Rotsler. Added 1 issue (completing the run) and created an index page for this 1948 FAPAzine, relocating the issue that had been in 1 Issue-Maybe More to Come.

--Fanactivity Gazette, Mindy Hunt. Added the November issue of this NFFF newsletter. Sent by George Phillies. Thanks, George and Mindy.
--Ichor, Dale Hart. Added 1 issue and created an index page for this 40s zine, relocating the issue that had been in 1 Issue-Maybe More to Come.

--MT Void, Evelyn and Mark Leeper. Added the 11/17/23 issue. Thanks, Evelyn and Mark.
--Phanteur, Donald Thompson. Added the Winter 48 issue, which appears to be an unnumbered issue between 4 and 5. It appeared in the FAPA 42 mailing, and the Fantasy Amateur for that mailing shows an issue of Phanteur with what appears to be the right number of pages (our copy has the number obscured). Dating something winter always makes it hard to figure out if it's the end of one year or the beginning of the next.
--Shoreline, Jeanne Gomoll. Added 5 more issues of Jeanne's apazine, and a letterzine: #7-11 (79-81). Issue #7 is better known as "What Spare Time 2", a letter substitute that Jeanne ran through several APAs. "Secretary No More" is also "What Spare Time 1" and was run through with Shoreline (and Obsession). Zines provided for scanning by Jeanne Gomoll. Thanks, Jeanne.

- Zoom schedule- We've added a January zoom session to the schedule. On January 20th, we'll be doing an interview with Joe Green. If you don't know Joe Green, this is an opportunity to learn about his amazing arc through fandom, prodom and the space program. A fan in the 50s, a professional science fiction writer with his first stories appearing in the early 60s, and later a NASA spokesman, specializing in educating the public about the space program. Host of many a legendary launch party, Joe has lived the dream of many a young science fiction fan. Join us in January and learn more.
- YouTube - https://youtu.be/bjB_gKIeYC0 - Frankenstein...a not so gory version-Delta Science Fiction Film Group (1963)
This 1963 fannish production of “Frankenstein … a not so gory version” from the Delta SF Film Group, starts with a panorama across a mad scientist’s lab featuring “Entrails of Aldiss” and “bheer”. It’s an entertaining and complete story in less than 4 minutes, starring British fans of the day. You’ll be (un)amazed at the special effects, the pathos of the story and its shocking ending. It's good fun, and Delta group went on to produce many more short films.
- Bill Burns, who provided this and other Delta Films tells us “The individual films date from 1963 to 1970, and were made on 8mm silent film to which a magnetic stripe was later added and the sound dubbed on. They were then shown mercilessly at club meetings and Eastercons, and suffered accordingly.” For more about the Delta SF Film Group, see the Fancyclopedia article and see the text of Bill’s talk at Manunicon (2016 Eastercon) at https://efanzines.com/Alien/indexd.htm. Many thanks to Bill Burns for providing the video, and the list of actors and crew that worked on the Delta Group films.

Bruce did these for APA-L, and presumably to cause consternation in indexers everywhere. It is not his only cyrillc fanzine title. Bruce - it worked.

- November 4, 2023
- APA Mailings. Mark has added a column to the individual APA pages that lists the number of pages we have of the mailing. If you click through on FAPA, for instance, you'll see that for the 100th mailing, Aug 1962, OE Charles Burbee, we had 23 zines for a total of 636 pages. That's our largest scanned mailing. Very cool. Thanks, Mark!
- Fanzines: Unless otherwise noted, all scans are by Joe Siclari.

--Bulletin of the British Interplanetary Society. Added 10 issues of this "related zine" from the 1930s. Joe says: "It might seem that the Bulletin of the British Interplanetary Society is a bit out of our perview but the early issues have some resemblance to fanzines. Scientifiction is mentioned and the editors’ names are somewhat familiar. The Bulletin can easily be seen with (although hopefully more accurate than) such fanzines as Space Magazine and others. Thanks to David Ritter, we have some of these to pass along to you. We will not try to make great numbers of them available. These issues were from the collection of Alistair Durie." For example, V2#8 is edited by Arthur C. Clarke (whose name is more than somewhat familiar), and has an article by William Temple. Scans by David Ritter. Many thanks, David!
