The Bulletin of the NFFF (Bonfire) was the original Official Organ of the N3F. The name derives from the initialism of the full title to "BNFFF." The first issue followed the club's formation in June 1941. It was confined almost exclusively to official reports. The publication was renamed, The National Fantasy Fan (TNFF) in 1945 by Jack Speer.

An illustrated article by Jon D. Swartz on the first issue of Bonfire (June, 1941) was published in The National Fantasy Fan for March, 2011 (Vol. 70, No. 1)

Editors:

In the December, 1943 issue, the first issue in just over a year, acting president Al Ashley "explained how the work of the club had come "to a grinding halt" in the summer of 1942, partly because of disagreements over the club's constitution". This may refer to issues of handling the number of NFF positions that were held by male members who were serving abroad.

Individual issues:
