So, who am I? I'm someone who's interested in Daily Newsletters at science fiction conventions, and other aspects of running conventions. There usually isn't one right way to do things, but I get so tired of seeing fans reinvent the wheel - and a square wheel, at that.

To this end, I've been trying to put together a bibliography of con-running material. It's slow going - one of the highly-recommended resources (If I Ran The /Z/o/o/ Con) isn't a document (in the usual sense of the word) at all. There's some promising results; representatives of three conventions (Orycon, Linda Pilcher; Baycon, Michael Wallis; Wholucination, Dana Windsor) have put together their views of running conventions, and the results make for interesting reading.

So when I come across something I think might useful, I toss it in my Smofs-and-Fans directory. You'll find links to the above-mentioned documents, and my own collected comments on Daily Zines, and there should be a pointer to the Worldcon Runner's Guide project.

David Dyer-Bennet has generously offered the use of his server for the Smofs directory and my home page. Thanks, DDB!

I'm going to bid for Loscon 28 in 2001.
