SCIENCE-FICTION FIVE-YEARLY, The Fanzine They Couldn't Put Away, is published twice per decade by Lee Hoffman, Founder and Supremo, for a handpicked group of lighthearted idiots plus, of course, you. SFFY was founded in 1951 and has appeared since with the ticking regularity of isotopic decay. This issue's crew of Assistant (or Ass't) Editors comprises Patrick & Teresa Nielsen Hayden and Art Editor Stu Shiffman. The contents of this publication are fictional and any resemblence between persons depicted herein, or Robert Bloch, is entirely coincidental. SFFY is copyright (c) 1986 by Lee Hoffman for the contributors; address all correspondence to her at 3335 Harbor Blvd, Port Charlotte FL 33952. 6th Fandom Is Not Dead; it simply rests a lot these days. Yngvi is still a louse.
