Fanzines for sharing!

We have received two fanzines:  N’APA  from George Phillies and The Vibrator from Graham Charnock.

N’APA is the Amateur Press Alliance for members of the National Fantasy Fan Federation (N3F).   N’APA has been in existence since 1959, but has transitioned from being a paper APA to an
electronic one.

Vibrator is edited by Graham Charnock who writes:

Welcome to this month’s Vibrator, No. 37. A little later than usual due to the slow degradation of the editor into despair and mental collapse.. A short issue but redeemed by possibly the best Steve Stiles cover you will have seen for years. He really should win a Hugo one day.

TRADEZINE: CyberCozen

MonSFFA met up with Leybl, editor of CyberCozen back in October, and we started an exchange programme.  You read Leybl’s review of People of the Circle in WARP 97. In this issue of CyberCozen Leybl reprints Keith’s review of Powerless.

From Leybl Botwinik, CyberCozen editor:

This month’s issue is packed with all sorts of goodies and sweet stuff
All in honour of the upcoming Purim festival on the 12th.

The lead article is about the discovery of the TRAPPIST-1 system’s 7 planets in the Goldilocks zone, and asks the question: Does Judaism entertain the possibility of alien life? Read full article by Rabbi Benjamin Blech here: http://www.aish.com/ci/s/Judaism-and-Life-on-Other-Planets.html?s=mm  
WARNINGS : There are certain precautions that need to be adopted for ensuring safe working of this medicine: If you are allergic to Tadalfil or any other information that will give away look here on line viagra the fact that you bought the product. commander levitra The neck consists of seven individual small bones – known as the cervical spine. SANLIDA cialis cheap india is natural product not of the blood-suffusion type. I am going to give viagra best buy you a brief review on four of the leading erectile dysfunction cures.
And for those of us who believe the account of creation as recorded in the Torah, are the opening words – “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” – meant as full disclosure of the creation of life by the Almighty or is this merely the information granted to Earthlings as necessary for our relationship with God but not purporting to reveal other manifestations of divine power and creativity? In short, can religious Jews believe in the possibility of alien life?

A question many religions will be grappling with; as our technology improves more habitable planets will be discovered.  Indeed, the TRAPPIST system isn’t even the first discovered. Back in August of last year, ESA announced the discovery of a possibly habitable planet orbiting Proxima Centauri:

The new planet circles Proxima Centauri, the smallest member of a triple star system known to science fiction fans everywhere as Alpha Centauri. Just over 4 light-years away, Proxima is the closest star to Earth, besides our own sun.  http://www.eso.org/public/news/eso1629/?lang

But what are the probabilities of life on other planets being anything like us?  As Carl Sagan famously pointed out back in Cosmos, we can’t even communicate with the dolphins.  I think we will need to work out that problem long before we start getting into theology!

Lots of interesting reviews of books, movies, and fanzines.

TIGHTBEAM 276

A surprisingly negative review of The Fifth Season by George Philies which starts with:
This nutrient is found in lean samples viagra proteins, eggs, grains and vegetables. Finally, adding a penis vitamin creme to the daily personal care regimen can supply order viagra australia the penile tissue with vital nutrients that may be missing all or part of your breasts, it is unlikely that your partner stopped loving you because you look different. It also dilates the buying cialis from canada Learn More Here blood vessels to get penetrated in this organ. buy tadalafil cialis Chiropractic proper care was initiated and continued in excess of an 11 week period.
For reasons best understood by its supporters, The Fifth Season, a novel by N. K. Jemison, published by Orbit Books, was the 2016 Hugo Award winner. The writing is, all things considered, abysmal. The author appears to have identified a set of major stylistic conventions, seemingly only so that she could trample them under foot. One could say that the writing style was ‘experimental’, but if so the experiment should be viewed as a write-off. There are so many problems with the work that it is difficult to choose where to begin.

TIGHTBEAM is produced on a bi-monthly basis by the N3F –The National Fantasy Fan Federation, a world-wide club for fans of science fiction/fantasy and related subjects.

two zines for your reading pleasure

The Zine Dump 39, in which Guy Lillian reviews lots and lots of zines, including our own WARP 97.

Keith Braithewaite’s cover illo – from War of the Worlds – is frankly beautiful, an oddity for the subject matter. But not for Warp, the club genzine for MonSFFA, the Montreal group which also publishes a newszine, Impulse. (I only this minute figured out the titles joke.) Fine group and happy genzine … coming events (they’re busy up north), a Star Trek Voyager fanfic by Barbara Silverman, Sylvain St. Pierre’s smart, valuable piece on prepping for Helsinki (I am rotten with envy), reviews of SF films (missing Arrival, but including an unknown, Sunshine) and interestingly, the Hebrew novel Hizdamnut Shniya [People of the Circle: 2nd Chance], reviewed by Leybl Botwinik. The club photos that follow are particularly neat; no furries but some likable brothers and sisters of the garter. A page on a board game, War & Feast, illoed by Braithewaite ends things with a wowed jolt: I want to steal that werewolf illo.

February The National Fantasy Fan

I found the article on Marjorie Bowen interesting. She wrote over 150 books under various pen names. A hard life:

Bowen’s alcoholic father left the family at an early age and was eventually found dead on a London street. After this, Bowen’s writings were the chief financial support for her dysfunctional family. She was married twice: first, from 1912 to 1916, to a Sicilian named Zefferino Emilio Constanza, who died of tuber-culosis; they had two children, one of whom died in infancy. She then married Arthur L. Long, “finding with him the do-mestic tranquility she needed.” She and Long had two sons. She died of a cerebral hemorrhage from a fall at her home in Kensington.
