TAL-SHAYA
— Faned: Randy Barnhart. At least one issue pubbed out of Prince Rupert, B.C. “Book reviews, comments on the Babylon 5 sequel Crusade, and on Aussiecon the 1995 Worldcon in Australia.” (LP)
1996? – (#1 – ?)
TARNATIONS
— Faned: Douglas Mitchell. Perzine pubbed out of Winnipeg, Manitoba. At least one issue circa 1952. Contained an attempt by Douglas to promote a new fannish ghod by name of GHA (as in GHAdzooks, GHAls, etc) whose only purpose was to cherish the memory of Galaxy magazine which had “unwittingly appeared once again”. An obscure joke at best with no particular fannish role, so GHA did not enter the fannish pantheon. Was reprinted in COOL which in turn was reprinted in CANADIAN FANDOM #22 in Sep 1954.
Thish also contained a profile of G.M. (of Manitoba?), the neofaned of the crudzines ALLEX & COOL (the latter unpublished).
[ See GHA, ALLEX & COOL ]
TASH
— Faned: Tommy Ferguson, a well-known Irish fan temporarily living in Toronto, Ontario. (Detail to be added)
1997 – (#14 – Spring)
TAUNTAUN EXPRESS
— Faned: ? Possibly D. Trent Lum. A Star Wars fanzine pubbed out of Victoria B.C. by teenagers circa 1993/84.
B. Klassen described it as “remarkable only for the unreadableness of its contents.”
1983 – (#1 – ?) – Contained the short story ‘Misdirection’ by C.A. Bucar, D. Olden & D. Trent Lum, later republished in #2 of THE CALL GOES OUT (1985). It is Star Wars fan fiction, with ‘Artoo Detoo’ & ‘See-Threepio’ getting lost on the planet Sionus, only to be confronted by a human whose identity adds an O. Henry-style ending combined with one of the oldest clichés. The planet is actually Earth, and the human is George Lucas!
THANGORODRIUM!
— Faned: Patrick Neilson Hayden, one of the mid-1970s Toronto Derelicts. A genzine pubbed out of Toronto, Ontario.
Wrote Taral Wayne circa 1976: “Patrick Hayden’s personal genzine is still more flexible in appearance than Victoria Vayne’s SIMULACRUM, but shorter and less elaborate. Highly opinionated & often tempestal intellectual content make it interesting & often infuriating reading. I feel more of the editor in this zine than in almost any other derelict zine.”
Varied greatly in size. The more frequently pubbed issues often just a single-sheeter. Other issues as many as 24 pages.
1975 – (#21 – Jul) (#21.1&.2&.3 – Jul) (#21.4&.5&.6&.65&.7 – Aug) (#22 & #22.1 – Sep) (#23 – Oct) (#24 – Oct) (#25 – Oct) (#26 – ? )

1977 – (#28 – Feb)
THE THING ON THE DOORSTEP
— Faneds: “Those annoying Onocon Illuminati”. At least 4 issues pubbed out of Calgary, Alberta, in 1988.
An interesting concept: not a clubzine, but a social get-together zine, as in: “The Calgary Bi-weekly SF thing has been in existence for 2 or 3 years now… the things should have their own newsletter, kind of an official organ of the thing” typed madly the night before & rushed to photocopiers. However, the constant calls for active participation may have grown tiresome rather quickly. It is possible that the zine petered out after just the 4 issues.
1988 – (#1 – Jan 14) – Cover editorial with Dover Books art illos. A ‘Thing Survey”. Sample question: “What I do?” Answers: “Growl at people”, “Eat, sleep, squeak”, etc. Plus a visual puzzle with art by Richard Bartop, Marl Holmes & John Samuel Gallagher.
– (#2 – Jan 28) – Contained an editorial, articles on Nonocon & Noncon Eleven, a spoof poem version of Jabberwocky called ‘Jabbering’ by ‘Lewis Carrot’,, and the entire thing survey reprinted because the photocopier screwed up.
– (#3 – Feb 11) – No highlights of Thing because “can’t really remember what happened two weeks ago”. Review of editor’s experiences at Nonocon in Feb, a hand-written chain story beginning: “It was hot, slimy, & purple-coloured, and that’s not a good thing for jello to be…”, and an ad for “X-Men The Musical’, starring Meat Loaf as ‘Colossus’, Anne Murray as ‘Vindicator’, & Madonna as ‘Dazzler’.
– (#4 – Feb 25) – Basically just a continuation of the chain story.
THIS SURE AS HELL AIN’T DNQ
— Faned: Jim Shedden. A one-shot perzine pubbed out of Scarborough, Ontario. Shedden was very active in CANADAPA, VANAPA & BCAPA, and this one-shot was a proposal for the creation of yet another apa. Not regional or invitational, but to “comprise fans from many different areas”. No content laws, “but I urge sercon zines & long zines.” This is so vague a concept I suspect nothing came of this.
The rest of the zine included a review on the Torque Con held recently in Toronto (Apr? 1980) which included, among other things, “a discussion led by George Henderson on the 10 worst movies ever made.”
The cover of thish was a reprint of the cover of #28 of Taral Wayne’s DNQ, with the above title superimposed.
1980 – (#1 – Apr)
THRU THE HAZE
— Faned: Art Hayes. A long-lived genzine pubbed out of Bancroft, Ontario, in the 1960s. It appears to be associated with the National Fantasy Fan Federation but is not actually a NFFF publication. In Hayes own words: “THRU THE HAZE, while generally supporting the NFFF is not, and will not allow itself, to be controlled by ANY organization.” (Detail to be added).

TORATIONS
— Faned: Norman G. Browne. Pubbed out of Wilson Heights, Ontario, circa 1954.
P. Howard Lyons describes Browne in CANFAN #22 (Sep 1954) as the “Editor of TORATIONS“. At this time Browne was still active in Fandom, contributing to CANADIAN FANDOM & to Richard Geis’ PSYCHOTIC, and perhaps still to FAPA, so not unreasonable to assume TORATIONS was his last attempt at a perzine shortly before gafiating. Odd that CANFAN #22 does not include it in its list of CAFP (Canadian Amateur Fan Publishers) publications. (Details wanted!)
TORCON REPORT
— Faned: Edward ‘Ned’ McKeown. A one-shot souvenir zine produced in late fall 1948 in the wake of TORCON, the world convention held in Toronto in July 1948. McKeown had been Chair, and was editor of CANADIAN FANDOM at the time; he also served as general editor for the report.
TORCON was the first Worldcon at which the proceedings were tape-recorded. Consequently the report contained the complete text of GoH Robert Bloch’s talk: “Fantasy & Psychology”, Bob Tucker’s: “Results of The First Fan Survey”, Dr. David H. Keller’s: “Science — Master or Servant?”, and George O Smith’s “Fan Entertainment” (at which he parodied the infamous “Zap! Zap! Atomic Ray Is Passe With Fiends!” review of the con by George Bain in the Globe & Mail Newspaper the day before. In addition, Leslie A. Croutch’s article “Torcon Memories”, which appeared in issue #36 (Aug 1948) of his perzine LIGHT, was included as well, along with a loose ‘art’ photograph of a female nude (in colour) just to spice things up. No wonder THE TORCON REPORT ran 62 pages and cost 50 cents. 200 copies were printed. (JRC)
[ See TORCON, & ZAP! ZAP! ATOMIC RAY IS PASSE WITH FIENDS! ]
TORONTO STELLAGRAM
— Faned: Michael Wallis. An incarnation of a newsletter pubbed out of Toronto by OSFIC, the Ontario SF Club, circa 1977 (predated by MIMEOGRAPHED LONDON SUNDAE THYMES and followed by LAST WHOLE OSFiC LONDON SUNDAE THYMES).

TORONTO THE GHOOD
— Faned: Taral Wayne. A one-shot anthology of Toronto fanwriting which Taral put together for the first Ditto Convention, held in Toronto, Ontario, in 1988. Wrote Taral: “This collection was edited, typed, designed, illustrated, and electrostenciled by Taral. Mimeography was by Mike Glicksohn, who battled valiantly against the deadline. TORONTO THE GHOOD is dedicated to the memories of Susan Wood, Bill Grant, P. Howard Lyons, and Les Croutch: Ghood Torontonians all. As a Ditto publication, proceeds from TORONTO THE GHOOD will first be applied to convention losses. In the event there are no convention losses, profits will be donated to the fan funds deemed advisable by the Ditto Masters.”
“This collection celebrates a fandom that is probably under-recognized, but has much to be proud of. Our fair city is the home of the man who was accused of sawing Courtney’s boat, (falsely!). A Toronto fan enriched fanspeak with the word “sercon”. The first Worldcon in Canada was held in Toronto, and debuted the first propeller beanie to be worn by a fan. To the everyday world, “Toronto The Good” meant exactly the opposite — blue laws and dour working class values. But to fandom Toronto has been genuinely GHOOD. Let us drink to the memory.”
