View source for Minn-StF

===Club Name===
Minn-StF (historically sometimes pronounced "Minn-stef", but now almost always "Minn-stiff") is officially agnostic when it comes to spelling, hyphenating, capitalizing the club's [[nickname]]. '''Minn-StF, MNstf, Minn-stf''', and other variations are all acceptable. The "[[stf|StF]]" came from "[[scientifiction]]."  As [[Jim Young]] wrote in the [[Minicon 1]] [[program book]]: 
 Many will wonder how the letters 'stf' were derived from 'Science Fiction Society'.  Truth is, they weren't. 'Stf' is an abbreviation for the original term for science fiction — scientifiction.  This was the word coined by the late [[Hugo Gernsback]] when he founded the first [[science fiction magazine]], [[Amazing Stories|AMAZING STORIES]]. Due to the length of the word, it became popularly abbreviated as 'stf' — pronounced 'stef'.
