From Nic Farey: “The Enlightenment view of mankind is a complete myth. It leads us into thinking we’re sane and rational creatures most of the time, and we’re not.”
From Jason Hunt, N3F, two zines. Greetings, programs! Please find attached the latest instalment of NAPA280_jan2026
As we work out the kinks in the schedule, the goal is to get everything on track for a regular schedule of dates on which each of our ‘zines will hit your in-box. I appreciate everyone’s patience!
As we draw near the end of the month, as I contemplate the ridiculously cold temperatures and snow on the ground and wonder if the deer in the back are OK, I am sending to you this last ‘zine of the month (I think?) — the National Fantasy Fan for January 2026, beginning Volume 85.
Letters of comment are welcome. And please continue to send me any updates on e-mail addresses. I’m trying to keep everything as current as possible. TNFF202601
From Ahrvid Engholm: Intermission163
Intermission in the Epstein files? It wouldn't surprise us, considering how morally corrupt it is! But in the Engholm files (latest example #163 enclosed) we find Jules Verne! (With his unknown, only English story!) And a whole bunch of writers in deplorable filthy-pro magazines such as Beyond Fantasy, Imagination, Startling Stories and others presenting your wettest, wildest dreams! Blue films - at least one - also covered, and AI translation. But we start with the latest goofs by Trump and Putin. Agent Orange's Greenland plans get cold shoulders from the Arctic and Putins's under-supplied alcoholic bumbs of an "army" is destroyed by drones. And why don't media report on Putin' collapsing economy? Finally, don't miss ■■■■ and ■■■■, especially ■■■■!!! Don't Put Hands In Running Mower, --Ahrvid Engholm, edit■■■■or (Comments welcome, but whatever you write, make CC: to ahvid@atomicmail.io, due to failing Microsoft...)
From the N3F: Tightbeam 377 is attached. There is an Alarming Event…we are back on schedule. On the topic of schedules, Mindy Hunt reports that the next issue of FanActivity Gazette will be delayed.
