Pixel Dreams
Herewith is a year
in pixel and prose;
Celebrate by smiling
or holding your nose.
Westercon 74 Memory Book
Away away our adventure doth begin,
Over bounding waves of desert sand
and life that dwells therein.
A festive mirage may lay before
and we pursue thy distant shore.
Like Brigadoon rising from the mist
by fans a territory seldom kissed.
Into the numinous we soar
To that hallowed Realm
of WesterCon 74!
The Fan Artists 2021
In The Fan Artists, Alan celebrates those who truly fit the description, noting that in previous times “Fanart was done for the love of doing it and perchance a micron of egoboo along the way, nothing more.”
Meanwhile in Sin City
Alan writes:
I remember those years before pandemia was cool, and since we’ve seen unsettling events previously reserved for dystopian science fiction and horror stories. I thought I'd take some time to ruminate over the past year, both ridiculous and sublime just to put things in perspective upon the arrival of 2022. All of this is my personal space-time continuum full of whimsy and broken dreams and may be different from yours.

Skyliner
Alan writes:
This is a tongue-in-cheek zine (or any other place you want to put it), for those who routinely dunk one or more appendages into the realm of creative fannishness; or at least appreciate such things. Then they take a gander at that well dunked appendage and say, “Christ, I’m gettin’ old; I’d better do something before I kick the bucket, and leave merely a room of idolatry to the works of other people.”
