1952 Thrilling Wonder Stories Dec. 140/1	Coupla lines back I mentioned Captain Future‥(pardon me while I beat my head on the floor‥)‥as you can guess‥he ain't my style‥But for those who do like the Cap, may I second Joe Kinnon's motion for an Annish for Futurians.
1966 L. Carter Handy Phrase-Book in Fannish in If Oct. 66/2	The editor of a fan magazine is a ‘faned.’ If you belong to F.A.P.A. (Fantasy Amateur Press Association) you publish a fapazine, and you are a fapan. If your fanzine lasts a year (many don't) you put out a particularly large Anniversary Issue called ‘the Annish.’
