A fan gathering larger than a [[fan visit]] (that is, it should involve [[fans]] from more than one locality besides that in which it occurs), but not being built up or attended or conducted like a conference.
 
 
The name is a new one, and almost the only events so called so far have been the Washington Confabulations. The first of these was in early 1940, when [[Perdue]], recently arrived from Wyoming, [[Rothman]], not long from [[Philadelphia]], and [[Speer]], of [[Washington]] for more than a year, got together and called themselves a confabulation. The second was in the summer of 1941, when [[R. D. Swisher|Dr and Mrs Swisher]] visited the [[Washington Worry-Warts]], and [[Chauvenet]] came up from [[Charlottesville]]. This Confabulation issued the [[Washington Manifesto]]. [[Joe Gilbert]]'s visit in October was also called a confabulation. [[Unger]] has referred to the [[Scientiforums]] as confabulations.
