(Did you want the Wayne Third Foundation, a club in Detroit?)


The Third Foundation (T3F) was an L.A. club and its eponymous clubzine, both 1967–70. (The name is a reference to Isaac Asimov's Foundation Trilogy.)

The first issue was #77 ("so we would have the Spirit of '76 to inspire us"), and the last issue #105. The club's mythos was that "We were founded at the The 'End of Eternity' to make sure that Hari Seldon was born on time." The club had the right to choose the editor, but it was usually edited by Lee Klingstein (later Lee Gold)

Lee (Klingstein) Gold says "I found organized SF fandom in 1967 at Westercon XX", including filking, then "A month later I attended my first LASFS meeting with copies for sale of The Third Foundation #77 (the fanzine's first issue), containing my first filksong: Oh, What a Beautiful Martian. One of the LASFSians who sang it that night was a fellow named Barry Gold, whom I married two years later."

T3F's main area of interest was fan fiction. T3F #77 contained the first installment of a serial, "Doomed Lensmen," a takeoff on Doc Smith's Lensman universe. Later on, it included "The Tales of the Third Foundation," with successive episodes written in rotation by various members of the club.

Publication 1967—1970
This is a publication page. Please extend it by adding information about when and by whom it was published, how many issues it has had, (including adding a partial or complete checklist), its contents (including perhaps a ToC listing), its size and repro method, regular columnists, its impact on fandom, or by adding scans or links to scans. See Standards for Publications.

Club 1967—1970
This is a club page. Please extend it by adding information about when and where the club met, when and by whom it was founded, how long it was active, notable accomplishments, well-known members, clubzines, any conventions it ran, external links to the club's website, other club pages, etc.

When there's a floreat (Fl.), this indicates the time or times for which we have found evidence that the club existed. This is probably not going to represent the club's full lifetime, so please update it if you can!
