Talk:Tikwis Hall

Wait. So Moorcock dated both Hall sisters?? —Leah Zeldes Smith (talk) 09:25, 6 April 2024 (PDT)

Prolapse #6 p. 15 : "Tikki Hall, Sandra's sister, who was still at school and with whom I was originally going out until she went back to school and Sandra moved in. I got a very sharp letter from Tikki telling me not to be fickle."

The Bourton-on-the-Water trip mentioned earlier (as apparently the start of the second relationship) was in the spring of 1959. Yes, he was also still in his teens, barely. --JVjr (talk) 14:25, 6 April 2024 (PDT)

Yep, that Prolapse source was the one I was using. It was a little surprising... --Mark Plummer (talk) 04:06, 7 April 2024 (PDT)

We could put more details of this into the sister' main entries. I just happened to find that at the October 1959 London Symposium, Moorcock brought some records to Tikki "whose birthday it was": https://fanac.org/fanzines/Smoke/Smoke02-09.html

I may have also over-interpreted the https://fiawol.org.uk//FanStuff/THEN%20Archive/1959con/1959con.htm reports where a couple times "Peter West and Sandra Hall" are mentioned together. It could be just an innocent coincidence, if I am to understand correctly Moorcock's mention that they would start going out together after the (Whitsun? more must details should be found) Bourton trip. (OTOH, this wouldn't be a first case of relationships changing there and back again.)

Of course, we could still try asking Moorcock himself… (Mark, you would seem best-suited to this.) --JVjr (talk) 06:49, 29 April 2024 (PDT)
