After discussions at the [[Midwestcon 25|1974 Midwestcon]] and at [[Discon II]] in [[Washington]] about the sad state of the [[Hugo]]’s [[fannish]] categories, in late October, 1974, [[Moshe Feder]] sent out a [[mimeographed]] letter to influential [[fanzine fans]] proposing the creation of the Fanzine Activity Achievement Awards (FAAn Awards) as an alternative. Where the Hugos were popularly-voted awards, the FAAns would be a peer award imitating the Oscars. Nominating would be by guilds — [[fanwriters]] nominate fanwriters, [[fanartists]] nominate fanartists, etc. — followed by a final ballot voted on by all eligible to nominate in any category. Only currently active [[fanzine fans]] would be eligible to nominate and vote. (This was abandoned.)

Moshe's proposal was well received and a [[committee]] was formed to refine the concept and run the inaugural award process. Committee members took turns publishing ''The Zine Fan'', the discussion-zine in which the awards' business was conducted. The members of the founding committee were [[Bill Bowers]], [[Donn Brazier]], [[Linda Bushyager]], [[Don D'Ammassa]], [[Tom Digby]], [[Moshe Feder]], [[Mike Glicksohn]], [[Mike Glyer]], [[Eric Lindsay]], [[Sam Long]], [[Ray Nelson]], [[Darroll Pardoe]], [[Peter Roberts]], [[Jim Shull]], [[Jeff Smith]], and [[Harry Warner, Jr.]].

The first awards were presented by [[Bob Tucker]] at [[Midwestcon 26|Midwestcon in 1975]]. The trophy, designed and made by [[fanartist]] [[Randy Bathurst]], depicted a [[propeller-beanie]]-wearing [[bheer]]can perched atop a [[duplicator]], each one slightly different, and mounted atop a walnut base with a photoengraved nameplate.

The FAAn Activity Achievement Awards are given annually for fanzine activity in the previous year. Voting is open to anyone with an interest. The awards are presented at Corflu, but membership in the convention isn’t required to participate. They are unrelated to the earlier Fan Achievement Awards. See also Faaaaan.

Website.

History[edit]

After discussions at the 1974 Midwestcon 25 and at Discon II in Washington about the sad state of the Hugo’s fannish categories, in late October 1974 Moshe Feder sent out a mimeographed letter to influential fanzine fans proposing the creation of the Fanzine Activity Achievement Awards (FAAn Awards) as an alternative. Where the Hugos were popularly-voted, the FAAns would be a peer award imitating the Oscars. Nominating would be by guilds – fanwriters nominate fanwriters, fanartists nominate fanartists, etc. – followed by a final ballot voted on by all eligible to nominate in any category. Only currently active fanzine fans would be eligible to nominate and vote. (This was abandoned.)

Moshe's proposal was well received and a committee was formed to refine the concept and run the inaugural award process. Committee members took turns publishing The Zine Fan, the discussion-zine in which the awards' business was conducted. The members of the founding committee were Bill Bowers, Donn Brazier, Linda Bushyager, Don D'Ammassa, Tom Digby, Moshe Feder, Mike Glicksohn, Mike Glyer, Eric Lindsay, Sam Long, Ray Nelson, Darroll Pardoe, Peter Roberts, Jim Shull, Jeff Smith, and Harry Warner, Jr..

The first awards were presented by Bob Tucker at Midwestcon 26 in 1975. The trophy, designed and made by fanartist Randy Bathurst, depicted a propeller-beanie-wearing bheercan perched atop a duplicator, each one slightly different, and mounted atop a walnut base with a photoengraved nameplate.

The FAAns were awarded till 1980 at varying conventions, then went into a long hiatus. When they were revived in 1995, they were awarded at Corflu and have been awarded there ever since.
