| − | Chicago [[fandom]] has remained as disorganized and nearly as quiet as it was when the [[Fancy 2]] entry, below, was written. There are three major [[fanclub]]s in Chicago: [[ISFiC]], [[Phandemonium]], and [[SuperConDuckTivity]], but they mostly exist to run [[cons]]. Each of the seven [[Worldcon]]s held in Chicago has been run by a different "special con-promoting organization."

| − | Besides [[Capricon]], [[Phandemonium]] runs a monthly book club, dining group, and euchre club. [[ISFiC]] runs [[Picnicon]], an annual [[relaxacon]] as well as [[Windycon]]. Other smaller groups arrange for [[fans]] to get together for pizza or games, but it is all decentralized. Most Chicago [[conventions]] and 'tween-convention gatherings are held in the Chicago suburbs.

| − | In the 1970s and '80s, a weekly meeting called [[Thursday]], was held at various fans' homes, mostly around the North Side. It started in [[Chip Bestler]] and [[Phil Foglio]]'s college dorm room. There was also an [[apa]], [[Windyapa]].

| − | ''[[Uncle Dick's]]'' in the 1980s and the subsequent [[Hugo Award]]-nominated ''[[STET]]'' were among the few [[fanzine]]s to come out of Chicagoland since [[Earl Kemp]] stopped publishing in 1965. ''[[Argentus]]'', also a Hugo nominee, was published annually from 2001 to 2014. Hugo- and [[FAAn Award]]-winning [[fanartist]] [[delphyne joan woods]] also gave the city its limited [[fanzine]] credits, as did Hugo-winning [[faneditor]] [[Helen Montgomery]].

| − | Despite its two [[conventions]] the Windy City has always been fairly quiet as far as fan activity goes. Of old the [[Windy City Wampires]] existed there, but this was an informal group; the [[ChiCon I]] was put on by a special con-promoting organization. Later a [[Chicago SFS]] came into existence; [[Earl Kemp]] was its most famous member. It produced the gigantic [[ChiCon II]].
