| − | Devoting time, energy, and money to non-profit pursuits in the general field of [[fantasy]] and [[fandom]]. It includes reading, collecting, corresponding, belonging to organizations, writing, publishing, recruiting new [[fans]], visiting fellow-scientifictionists, perhaps living with them in a [[science fiction house]], and attending [[fan gatherings]]. For membership in the [[FAPA]], applicants must show "proof by credential of their interest in [[fantasy]] [[amateur]] activity, which shall consist of one of the following: (a) Contributions, in form of poetry, drawing, fiction, or non-fiction writing, published in two [[fantasy]] [[amateur]] publications not produced in the same city. (b) Position as editor or publisher of at least one issue of a [[fantasy]] [[amateur]] publication".

| − | Most [[fen]] pass thru a certain cycle of activeness: After getting familiar with the field they start taking on projects right and left, not realizing that they're building up to a peak that they haven't time to maintain. Suddenly they announce that they must discontinue all fan activity, except maybe subscribing to one or two [[fanzines]] and keeping up with one or two correspondents, because activities of the outside world must take most of their time and energy. Some disappear from [[fandom]] at this point, but many others discover after a while that they still need the intellectual companionship and means of [[scifi]] expression in [[fandom]] and can find time to take on a little bit more activity and so at length find a fairly constant level that they can keep up, barring catastrophes like getting drafted, or married. (Not that there aren't quite a number of GI's and husbands keeping up a fair degree of activity).
