(Did you mean the plural of fan or a James Kepner apazine?)


The Fannish Educational Network (FEN) was a Chicago-area organization headed by Dick Smith and incorporated as an educational non-profit, which sent out fanzines at educational postal rates for a number of faneds during the 1980s and '90s. Dick and Leah Smith published a newsletter, Postal Pointers, to explain the process to participants.

The organization was revived briefly in 2015 to sponsor Operacon.

This is a group page. Please extend it by adding information about when and where the group formed, its members, how long it was active, notable accomplishments, external links to the group's website, etc.

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