Abigail Frost

(1951 -- May 1, 2009)

Abigail J. Frost, often known as Abi Frost, was a British fan, based in London for most of her fannish career. She was known for unswerving feminist and left-wing views, a sharp wit, and a ferocious intelligence, but was hampered by mental health problems.

Frost wrote for fanzines and worked as a journalist, although her lack of computer skills limited her fannish interaction in her later years. She won the 1993 TAFF Race, traveling to the US. Following her trip, she suffered financial setbacks and her use of TAFF funds raised red flags in the fannish community.

She was a founder member of TWP.

A collection of her fan writing can be found here.
