The Detroit Science Fiction League formed around 1950, after the Blowup caused Saginaw-based Art Rapp to resign from the Misfits. When George Young wanted to make it sercon, Howard DeVore stalked off to form a beer and poker club splinter group called the Morgan Botts Foundation, which lasted a couple of years till George came around to find out why nobody was coming to his DSFL meetings, and decided he’d rather drink bheer and play poker, too.

| 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! |
