According to the introduction, the Hotel of Usher was typed and drawn on ditto masters between 11:00 PM Sunday night and 3:00 AM Monday morning at the convention. Some of the masters were later retyped because the writers had neglected to remove the interleaf sheet between the front and back of the master. The issue was published on a hand cranked ditto machine at UCLA on Wednesday and Thursday September 4th and 5th. Contributions were not generally bylined, but there was a page where the contributors signed (see below). Some of the signatures are hard to decode, but they include: Lee Klingstein, Sanford J. Cohen, David Clark, Mary J. Ensley, Drew Sanders, "Grape", Bruce Newrock, Scott G. Shaw, Mike Zaharakis, Robert McNish, Richard A Brooks, Ron Bounds, Jack Chalker, Vonda N. McIntyre and "Nathan the Black Sorcerer and Sister" (Nathan Tobol and Frances Tobol). Other contributors we know of include M. Rankin, Kathleen Sky, Ed Baker, "? Simpson", Rick Cook, Bill Warren, "Tina H?", Cyrano Jones, Dorothy Monatam, and Sherna Burley.
