Many thanks to all who posted congratulations here and on other forums I saw today! (Well, yesterday, but it's not tomorrow until I sleep and get up again, so today.) I knew there was considerable goodwill for Science-Fiction Five-Yearly in fandom, but seeing it all in electrons and hearing it on the phone throughout the day? That was great!

I kept being reminded of everyone else we need to thank. Our contributors. Oh, yes, our contributors! The former guest editor-publishers who helped keep SFFY going all those lustrums. NESFA, for letting us use Mr. G and covering our printing expenses to boot! Everyone who helped with the collation. [livejournal.com profile] debgeisler and [livejournal.com profile] benveniste for providing a home away from home for ye weary faneds, and Deb, for the extra color laser printer on the doorstep.

Bill Burns for hosting SFFY at eFanzines. FANAC for the SFFY archive there, and [livejournal.com profile] jcbemis for her work making SFFY available in linked text documents.

Et cetera.

For tonight, it's a blanket thanks. SFFY contributor [livejournal.com profile] kip_w will be here for lunch in a rapidly-diminishing few hours. Kip, [livejournal.com profile] malibrarian, and the effervescent Sarah. The chicken salad is ready, but I won't be if I don't go to sleep oh, now.

What a wonderful day! Is it any wonder I don't want it to end?

If that's true, then you're coming over for lunch tomorrow, right? With sugar cookies, right.

(Oooo, I must be clairvoyant!)

There are parts of today I wouldn't mind reliving, but the drive home isn't one of them!

You will no doubt be fascinated to know that Science-Fiction Five-Yearly apparently does not translate well into the Cyrillic alphabet. It must be all of those hyphens. It was the only title or name to be listed in English only at this Russian site. Heh.

Color me smug. Or feeling a bit left out -- I'd love to know what the title looked like translated!

Thanks for the link. It's neat to be part of a list making its way around the world. Well, this particular list, anyway....

Congratulations! You and Lee (et al.) deserve it, too, for all your hard work on the issue.

I was quite pleased when Jack handed me SFFY 12 yesterday after hearing it had won. I've already started reading it.

Sweet. Hope you enjoy it!

We'll be publishing a letter-of-comment fanzine called "No Goat's Milk Vein" sometime soonish. (As in, still this year, I hope.) So don't be afraid to LoC!

Congratulations -- to you, and to all the people who've helped maintain the SFFY Fannish Tradition over so many decades ... and that includes the Voters who recognized the importance of our communal history.

Now, do you have any ideas for a reprise at some upcoming WorldCon?

Congrats

Thank you!

Yes, Jim's post is truly blush-worthy, in all the best ways. I'm honored.
