Zymic was an apazine for OMPA edited by Vin¢ Clarke. Its sixth issue in December 1957 included 'Don't Sit There' in which he 'railed against the prevailing apathy of British fandom and the falling numbers of both fanzines and fans' (Rob Hansen, Then). This sparked discussion leading ultimately to an open meeting at Cytricon IV, the 1958 Eastercon, and the foundation of the BSFA.
