WDVF

The WDVF (Witterhetssällskapet Din Vän Fandom) was a small Stockholm club comprising John-Henri Holmberg, Bertil Mårtensson and Mats Dannewitz Linder. The name translates as "The Belles-Lettres Society Your Friend Fandom"; its main activity consisted of publishing satirical oneshots, but it also ceremoniously awarded silly prizes accompanied by diplomas in Latin.

In the 1960s, it did a series of witty fanzines under different titles, now by some fans considered classics; members also edited and contributed to SF Forum, the leading fanzine from the Scandinavian SF Association. The oneshots published by the WDVF were: Punsch, Mjölk, Valthornet, Förbundets för Kronobergs läns självbestämmande Röst, Nex, and Den suckande tungan, all of these appearing 1967 through 1969. In 1985, when WDVF in the guise of its three members was chosen as fan GoH at Swecon in Stockholm, a final WDVF oneshot was produced, called Ett äkta WDVF-fanzine ("A Genuine WDVF Fanzine").
