UNDER THE TITLE: ESFACAS NEWSLETTER:
1976 – VOLUME ONE: Edited by (possibly) David Vereschagin? A number of untitled one-pagers, followed by the first to be titled ESFACAS NEWSLETTER, & thus possibly defined as (#1 – Sep).
1977 – VOLUME TWO: Edited by Robert Runte. (#1 – Jan) (#2 – Mar) (#? – May) (#3 – Jun) (#4 – Jul) (#5 – Sep) (#6 – Oct) (#7 – Dec)
1978 – VOLUME THREE: Edited by David Vereschagin – (#1 -Feb)
UNDER THE TITLE: NEOLOGY:
1978 – VOLUME THREE : Edited by David Vereschagin – (#2 – Apr) – “David introduced the now-familiar double column, singles-spaced format that has become so common in zines from Edmonton. In this issue, the headings as well were only one column wide, though still with the same bouncy look.” (BK)
– (#3 – Jun) (#4 – Sep)
1979 – VOLUME THREE : Edited by David Vereschagin – (#5/6 – Jan 1979)
1979 – VOLUME FOUR: Edited by Diane Walton-LeBlanc – (#1 – Mar) (#2 – Jun) (#3 – Jul) (#4 – Sep)
1980 – VOLUME FIVE: Edited by Robert Runte – (#1 – ? )
– (#2 – ? ) – “Randy Reichardt & I once had a running correspondence in which we debated the possibility of Edmonton ever becoming a major fan centre. It’s academic whether Edmonton did become a major fan centre or merely a notable one, but one thing’s for certain, it may have started publishing the best club newsletter in Canada. Although it is only published bi-monthly or so, it is thick (22 pages), and carries far more news than its compatriots. Particularly in the form of a Canadian Fandom section that could do more to create a Canadian fannish awareness than anything since the experiment with Canadapa a few years ago. It is a feature I would have loved to have tried to do in OSFIC a couple of years ago if I’d had the time. Hopefully, Robert (Runte) will find the tiime I didn’t have, and find a way to majke NEOLOGY more generally available to isolated fan clubs & apa-hacks across the country.” – (TW)
– (#3 – Aug)
– (#4/5 – Sep) – “Robert continues the tradition he has established during his current editorship… a good-looking, interesting and (at times) a controversial clubzine. Excellent section on Canadian Fandom — a forerunner to NEW CANADIAN FANDOM, the new fanzine he & Michael Hall will be producing RSN, named after the ’50s zine CANADIAN FANDOM. The current issue includes an extra goodie — a fannish new years resolution checklist which contains some really clever comments on fannish foibles.” – (CK)
– (#6 – Jan)
1981 – VOLUME SIX: Edited by Lorna Toolis & Georges Giguere – (#1 – Apr) – “This is the first issue under the new editors, but retains much of the look & feel of last year’s. D. Booker’s book review column & the Gourmet’s Guide to the Galaxy are continued along with the usual local & regional club news…Highlights are a HalCon 4 report by Diane Walton (she wasn’t very impressed either) & a report on the Sherlock Holmes collection in the Toronto library by Marianne Neilsen.” – (RR)
– (#2 – Jun) (#3/4 – Oct) (#5 – Dec)
1982 – (#6 – Feb 1982) – “This is a fairly ambitious clubzine, attempting to give something of interest to fans of related interests. There are fanzine reviews, con reports & listings and occasional articles on filking, local restaurants and so forth. The one massive listing of Canadian fan activity has spun off into its own zine, NEW CANADIAN FANDOM, but this is still a handsomely put-together zine. Curiously Vol6#6 was Lorna Toolis’ last issue and also the last I received. I hope it isn’t because the zine has folded. The club, with well over 100 members, I’m sure is still there.” – (BEB)
– VOLUME SEVEN: Edited by Ian McKeer – (#1 – May) – “Edited by someone named Ian McKeer, who either had problems or came from another universe.” – (GS)
– (#2/3 – Dec)
1983 – VOLUME EIGHT: Edited by John Wellington (Robert Runte) – (#1 – Aug) – “This I call the ‘Renaissance’ issue of NEOLOGY. Announcements include club elections, the new NonCon exec.. and the revival of ESFACAS activities. Conreps and some good fannish articles (e.g. ‘Wonderland Croquet’) are featured.” (GS)
Faned ‘John Wellington’ did not exist. This was a hoax zine. Everything in it, including the loccol, was written by Robert Runte. His explanation: “I found myself president of a club with ten active members & about another 80-90 non-attending fellow travelers. The old members wouldn’t come to meetings because they had heard & done it all before, & there were no new recruits to enliven things. The newcomers wouldn’t stay because there were not enough old-timers around to convince them that there actually was an ESFACAS any more. Since I didn’t have a real newsletter editor, I invented one, and ‘he’ put out an issue which gave the impression that ESFACAS was alive & well & worth coming back to.”
“I am happy to report that it worked. The week after NEOLOGY came out I got 60 rather than 6 people out to the meeting. I put the issue out to coincide with the opening of University so we got quite a few new recruits that evening; and all the old-timers showed up to find out what the controversy in the newsletter was all about. The old guard wandered around asking all the new recruits, “Are you John Wellington?” and the new recruits kept saying, “Hey, what a big club you’ve got here.” The upcoming events announced in that issue actually came off as advertised, since the participants read about them and showed up thinking they had forgotten an actual promise to do so!”
“Careful examination of issue #1 will reveal dozens of blatant hints that this was a hoax issue (such as letters saying we ought to put out a hoax issue)….” (RR)
– (#2 – Sep) – “By the time the second issue appeared, the word had leaked out that it was all a hoax and everyone disbelieved the second issue — which is too bad since everything in it (aside from the editor’s name) was real. Yes, campus security really did raid an ESFACAS meeting…” (RR)
1984 – VOLUME NINE: Edited by Georges Giguere – (#1 – Mar/Apr) – “Former NEOLOGY editor Georges Giguere returns to revive the semi-defunct ESFACAS newsletter. Part of the new (read, ‘real’) executive, Georges can be counted on to put out a decent product with reasonable regularity. High production values and a stable of amusing contributors make this one of the better club newsletters around.” (RR)
– (#2 – May/Jun)
– (#3 – Jul/Aug) – “Neology enjoys a combination of good art, internal organization, good reproduction & good contents. The news and locs are of interest & importance to outsiders, which is a good thing, & the writing & illos are pretty amusing.” – (GS)
– (#4 – Sep/Oct) (#5 – Nov/Dec)
1985 – (#6 – Jan/Feb)
1985 – VOLUME TEN: Edited by Georges Giguere – (#1 – Mar/Apr) – “Georges continues to put out the best clubzine in Canada and one which contains much of interest to readers elsewhere (unlike many clubzines which are of interest only to their own members).” (RR)
– (#2 – May/Jun) – “THE Canadian clubzine. Georges always produces a fine-looking product… With the departure of Michael Skeet as President and the loss of his regular column, NEOLOGY is a little less, um , provocative, but still a tremendously frequent fanzine.” – (BK)
“..features a piece on Russian SF, including a short story, 2 paintings, a photo, and a list of Russian fans, artists, & writers who wish to correspond with fans in the west.” (RR)
– (#3 – Jul/Aug) – “…has an interesting piece on the relationship between fans and art by AnnDel O’Brien & Tim Hammell (which pulled too many punches, but should still prove reasonably controversial). Georges has been losing patience with the locals who have been giving him a hard time about costs, controversy, & executive control, so send him a loc & encourage him to continue. (I strongly suspect that if Georges gets fed up with all the local complaints, he will quit and the club will be left without any newsletter editor at all, as happened the last time the club gave the editor a hard time.)” (RR)
“While locally biased, NEOLOGY continues to be a clubzine that all can enjoy. Much variety, much opinion, and high production standards. Mike Glyer recently proclaimed Neology one of the year’s best clubzines. Since Georges took the reins Neology has continually improved, until now it is at a comfortable plateau. A classy fanzine.” (SG)

Note: I believe #74 was the last issue. I have dates for about 65 issues. Volume One might account for 6 or 7 ‘missing’ issues, the rest were probably in Volumes Seven & Eight.

THE NEUTRAL ZONE JOURNAL
— Faned: Lisa McGovern. Pubbed out of Burnaby, B.C., throughout the 1990s & into the 21st century. “The Journal of the S’Harien, A Science Fiction/Fantasy Social Club.” Lisa McGovern was nominated for an Aurora award for her work on the NZJ. (Detail to be added)
NEW CANADIAN FANDOM
— Faneds: Robert Runte, & Michael S. Hall (as publisher). An early 1980s deliberate revival of the old CANADIAN FANDOM of the 1940s & 1950s. Spawned by Runte’s column ‘Canadian Fandom’ which had appeared in NEOLOGY. An excellent genzine, particularly valuable for retrospective fan histories. (Detail to be added)
“A fanzine to unify and encourage Canadian fandom. #2/3 begins Taral’s history of Canadian fandom, which skips #4 and continues in #5. There are conreports in each issue, Canadian SF publishing and other news. Doug Barbour does quickie book reviews.” – (BEB)
1981 – (#1 – May) – “A new Canadian national fanzine/newszine… for a good central source of news, views & reviews, this is the zine…” – (GS)
– (#2/3 – Sep)
1982 – (#4 – Jan)
– (#5 – Aug) – “..was set on a dot-matrix printer (oh my eyes) and has an “interview” with Nick Poxtap, & a report on Hungarian SF.” – (BEB)
1983 – (#6 – Jan)
1985 – (#7 – Apr) – “What was once touted as the Canadian fannish newsletter now appears to be a sporadic, but well produced genzine. There is a lot of interest here, from a medical horror story by Dave Vereshagin, to a fascinating article on obscure SF/horror movies by Dave Szurek, to fanzine reviews by Robert Runte.I was also horrified to find a short essay from myself from my haunted past as a juvenile delinquent, which is quite pretentious, ill conceived, and foolish. However, it was nice to be part of NCF #7, no matter how foolish it made me feel.” (Steve George)
– (#8 – Oct) – “NCF has managed in the 8 issues of its life to establish a standard and a tradition of writing the likes of which should be the envy of pretty much all fnz editors. This issue, from the art of John Durno, to the centre piece ‘No Pain, No Gain’, by Allan Brockmen, to Taral’s continuing Canadian fanhistory, all exhibit a refined editorial taste. This is terrific stuff, a fnz that can be held up to outsiders to show the value of this which we do.” – (BK)
NEW CANADIAN FANDOM, EH?
— Faned: ‘Robert A. Rowdy’ (Actually Taral Wayne) & publisher ‘Michael Wall’. A one-shot spoof of NEW CANADIAN FANDOM. With talk of ‘Les Clutch’ (spoofing Leslie A. Croutch), ‘Framme’s SUPERMORBID STORIES’ (spoofing Frome’s SUPRAMUNDANE STORIES), and other references to Canadian fannish history, noteably in ‘Taral Vain’s SAME AS IT ALWAYS IS’ article. Mildly funny. (Detail to be added)
“9 pages. A lampoon on NCF. A bit pointed.” – (BEB)
1982 – (#1 – Apr)
NEWSLOG
— Faned: Elizabeth Holden. Newsletter of the U.S.S. Excaliber Star Trek club in Ottawa, Ontario, circa early 1980s. May have been further issues as late as 1987. Info requested!
1982 – (#28 – Jul) – “Yet another ST club fanzine, with the usual book, movie, & con reviews, letter column & ST related articles. OK of its type, though the ditto reproduction detracts from its readability. Of interest to any ST fan.” (RR)
NEW WAVE VIDEO SNACKS
— Faned: Michael S. Hall. One-shot perzine out of Edmonton, Alberta.
1984 – (#1 – Apr) – “Mike Hall says this is in the nature of an interim fanzine, between SCHMAGG #2 (five years ago) and the next issue. This is mostly 20 short book reviews…there is exactly one illo, but the reviews are quite effectively broken up by spaces and script signs.” (GS)
“Book reviews by Michael, with one or two thrown in by Rosanne Charest for good measure. Michael’s eclectic interests are clearly reflected in this wide-ranging collection and most of the books reviewed are not sf. Of interest primarily to Michael’s friends & the literate.”
NIGHTWINDS
— Faneds: Doug Knipe, Derek Grime, Peter Roberts, Ken Duffin. Subtitled The Voice of the Guild (Guelph Science/Fantasy Guild), being the clubzine for same. Possibly changed name to THE ALIEN PARCHMENTS in 1980, or at least was surplanted as clubzine by that name. Faned Ken Duffin common to both.
1979 – (V1 #1 – Summer/Aug) – Articles, reviews of the SF movies of 1978, fiction, an appreciation of Keith Laumer, con reports, comic strips. (LP)
– (V1#2 – ?)
– (V1#3 – ?) – undated. List of British authors to watch for, how to cook a cat for dinner, an appreciation of Robert Sheckley, a loc from Spider Robinson, list of zines received. (LP)
[ See THE ALIEN PARCHMENTS, GUELPH SCIENCE/FANTASY GUILD ]
NITWIT
— Faned: Mike Harper. An incarnation of the Ontario SF Club newsletter, predated by SYNAPSE and followed by MIMEOGRAPHED LONDON SUNDAE THYMES. Mimeod, with size ranging from 14 to 28 pages per issue.
Taral, who edited SYNAPSE, writes: “After my resignation from the position of secretary, Mike Harper was appointed, and won the subsequent election. Mike carried on in much the same vein I had with Syn, but, by the end of his first year, showed signs of tiring. In retrospect our two terms as secretary probably marked the most productive years in OSFiC’s newsletters.”
NOTE: Between #11 of NITWIT & #1 of INPUT/OUTPUT there appears to be a gap of about a year. Three possibilities: A) there were further issues of NITWIT, B) there was an interim zine I am unaware of, or C) No zine was produced by OSFIC during that time. I lean toward B. Info wanted!

NOOTKA/REVETAHWA
— Faneds: David Vereschagin & Robert Runte. Pubbed out of Edmonton, Alberta, circa 1978. “A back-to-back oneshot on Westercon 30 by the two foremost fans of recent Edmonton fandom… I don’t usually find con reports the most fascinating reading in the world, but this mostly worked well. Of the two, David’s was the better looking, though Robert had the IBM. The Vereschagin artwork was the real gem of the issue though…. I think Dave is underselling himself y concentrating on fannish cartoons, and ought to do ‘difficult’ work more often.” – (TW)
NOR
— Faned: Phil Paine. An incarnation of the OSFIC newsletter pubbed out of Toronto, Ontario, by the Ontario SF Club. Paine edited three of the last issues of OSFIComm, the very last, edited by Jim Allan, appearing in Jan 1974. Next month Paine took over the newsletter, renamed it NOR, and added more pages. This undoubtedly had the effect of transforming a bulletin format into something approaching that of a proper clubzine. Yet Paine ceased being club editor after only five issues, handing the torch on to Taral Wayne.
Taral explains: “Phil Paine deserves a lot of credit for taking a crummy one or two sheet newsletter and turning it into a monthly vehicle for news and humour in a neat little digest package. But he had one flaw as a Faneditor. No ability whatsoever to meet a deadline. I think he managed affairs for the first two issues, missed a month entirely, and thereafter needed massive intervention to get subsequent NORS out on time. The club discussed his continuance as editor after the fifth, and handed the whole mess over to me, along with his file of material.”
In his OSFiC publication bibliography, Taral gives more info: “– In July 1973 John Douglas circulated an open letter in place of the usual OSFiComm or OSFiNote. It had been drawn up by Jim Allan, and was signed as well by myself, and Barry Kent MacKay. It effect, it called for an election of new officers to replace those exhausted by Torcon duties. There seems to have been no regular election in more than a year. The new secretary, Phil Paine, may have been chosen for the interim only, but once officially elected he fatefully changed the name of the newsletter to Nor.”
“Nor was characterized by a great deal of member participation. Perhaps too much, as the other noteworthy fact about Nor was that Phil was usually behind deadline, and could only put the issue out with last minute, or after-the-last minute all-nighters with Bob, Jim, and me. The 5th. issue was one emergency too many and Phil was pressured to give up the job. It passed to me. Since Phil had already changed the name of OSFiComm to Nor, stamping his personality on it, I felt a need to do the same. This unfortunately led to every new editor of the club newsletter doing exactly that in future. In retrospect, I wish I’d gone back to OSFiComm…”

NORTH ATLANTIS SQUADRON
— Faned: David Gordon-McDonald. At least one issue pubbed out of Victoria, B.C. circa 1983. A genzine with “stories, articles & illos by local fen; the first issue concentrates on local fanhistory and fanfiction”. (GS)
Note: the wonderful title is probably a takeoff of an infamous ribald song sung by Canadian sailors in World War II called “The North Atlantic Squadron”. Sample lyric with tasteful asterisk substitution:
“The bo’sun was of use to us
He painted his **** with phosphorus
And by its light one stormy night
He steered us through the Bosporus.”
….And they say Canadians have no culture!
NORTHERN LIGHTS
— Faned: Linda Ross-Mansfield. Newszine pubbed out of Oromocto, New Brunswick in the early 1980s. At least 8 issues, maybe more? (Details to be added)
“…Linda met so many Canadian fans at the 1980 Worldcon (in Boston) that she decided there should be a national newsletter — and consequently started one. While small, NL is also frequent & at least partly dedicated to organizing national support for Canadian Worldcon bids….” – (RR)
1980 – (#1 – ? )
– (#2 – ? ) – “Report of the Fredericton SF Society’s ’12th Night’ party, reviews, a con-report on Boskone, a ‘how to’ article on contacting other fans and/or starting your own club… has an offset half-cover of a dragon. At 6 for a dollar, this small but frequent newsletter is a real bargain.” – (RR)
1981 – (#3 – May ) – “Club activities, obituary for well-loved Toronto fan Phill Stevens, Hacon report, Eastercon & ST con in England, fanzines received & conventions coming.” – (LP)
– (#4 – Aug ) – “Zine delayed due to postal strike. Movies seen, con reports, how to make a living on SF art in Canada, how to manage a successful club.” – (LP)
– (#5 – ? ) (#6/7 – ? )
1982 – (#8 – ? ) – “Mansfields on the edge of moving to Winnipeg, zine lists, the 1982 final Hugo nominations, more about the ConstellationCon fiasco in Victoria, & learning to love computers.” – (LP)
NOT MY REAL ZINE!
— Faned: Michael J. Wallis. 2 pages. Mimeo. Pubbed out of Toronto.
1982 – (#1 – Jul) – “A note that Wallis is still alive and still intending to do great things.” – (BEB)
NOT THE BSCFAZINE #100
–– Faneds: Steve Forty, Jim Welch, & Margaret Galbraith-Hamilton. One shot pubbed out of Vancouver, B.C., spoofing the ever-upcoming #100 of BCSFAzine (edited by Gerald Boyko) which should have been published in Oct 1981 but did not in fact appear until May 1982. (Detail to be added)
1982 – (#1 – Apr)
NOVOID
— Faned: Colin Hinz. A well regarded mimeo genzine pubbed out of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, in the late 1980s. A good mixture of essays, zine reviews, con reports, and a strong loccol. Contained much nifty art by such as Rob Alexander, Steven Fox, Brad Foster, & Taral Wayne. (Detail to be added)
1986 – (#1 – ? )
– (#2 – ? ) – “Colin Hinz is somewhat delayed by his having to do this issue all by his self, but the zine is looking good. The first issue, well, looked like a first issue. The second issue reminds me strongly of a good, early NEOLOGY… barring the fact that it’s photocopied, and mostly written by one fan. A good selection of fanart throughout.” – (GG)
– (#3 – Jul)- “...a good example of infectious enthusiasm for fanzine publishing. Colin includes a little bit of everything you’d expect to find in a contemporary fanzine, dresses it up with lots of art, and publishes frequently. In this issue, Colin pokes fun at synchronicity, lets a bunch of columnists loose, and reprints an interesting essay by Somtow Sucharitikul. Good stuff.” – (GG)

NUCLEAR BUNNIES
— Faned: Adam Smith. Comic zine pubbed out of Toronto, Ontario, circa early 1980s. Illustrated by the editor, who “draws precise, mechanistic figures and machines.” (TW)
