Minneapa

A defunct Minneapolis APA founded July 12, 1972 (after the demise of Blue's APA) by Mike Wood who was editor for its first eleven years. Minneapa was more or less the official APA of the Minnesota Science Fiction Society, although it's unclear if it was ever formalized whether it was "more" or "less". It was one of the most active APAs of the 70s and 80s, being collated at intervals of two to five weeks.

It died around 2000 or shortly after, and the last issue was number 400.
