This fanzine isn't supporting anyone for TAFF at the moment, and still isn't sure whether Tobes should win the Doc Weir award. However, we certainly support Steve Davies for GUFF. Please vote using the ballot included with this fanzine.


"It's that difficult 13th issue"

RIP

Just after we went to press with Plokta 12½ we were sad to hear that Ian Gunn had lost his long battle with cancer. Gunny had been a regular contributor to Plokta. Meanwhile, British fandom is coping with the loss of Vin¢ Clarke late last year after a lengthy illness. Vin¢ was the holder of the British Fanzine Archive, and it seems terribly strange not to be sending him our fanzine. And a few weeks ago, Buck Coulson died suddenly. Buck locced nearly every Plokta -- you will find his last loc to us later in this issue.

We do hope this isn't going to be a regular column.
