Mary Reed (aka “Mushy,” a nickname based on a character in TV's Rawhide, formerly Mary Long, née Legg) is a British fan now living in Pennsylvania. She published Crabapple and a group, Kinkay Fandom developed around it (they included Beryl Mercer, Archie Mercer and Arthur Cruttenden, who all went on to found the Herts Science Fiction and Fantasy Group).

Her fanzines included her “Tribe-X” stories which were an early example of fan fiction.

Mary emigrated to the USA in 1976; she was married, for a time, to fan Sam Long. She now writes mysteries with her current husband, fellow fan Eric Mayer, sometimes as “M. E. Mayer” or “Eric Reed.”
