GAFMOI! was a 2-page – according to Greg Pickersgill's index although the British Fanzine Bibliography says 6-page – one-shot, fanzine published in August 1952 by Ken Slater in the UK.
The title is an initialism for Getting Away From Most Of It, i.e., dropping most fanac but making an exception or two by hanging on to a small part, such as a FAPA membership or attendance at a club or some particularly enjoyable regular convention. Eva Firestone writing in Tightbeam #17 (January 1963) said:
The term GAFMOI was originated by Ken Slater of England. It is better, more precise than Gafia.
