Just the Right Words
 Closing Comments by Nicki Lynch It always seems to me that the hardest part of a
zine is how to conclude it. I mean, do you just have a blank page after the lettercol?
Or end with a controversial article? Do you have closing remarks? Do you save that
page for artists credits? This is an important decision!Dick and I like to do little editoria1s and we
switch off each time as to who will be doing the opening and who will do the closing.
This time I, Nicki, am doing the end and I'm looking for just the right words. I want
it to be just right.You see, we probably will be moving in the next
few months and this may be the last Mimosa we do here in Chattanooga and in the
south.Our whole fannish career has been in the South,
even though we are both from Northern New York. We discovered SF conventions and fan
publishing here and I guess our style is connected with being in the South. While we
are not Southerners, we do consider ourselves Southern SF fansWhen we first moved here, we expected it to be
temporary. That was fifteen years ago. While it wasn't permanent, it also wasn't as
temporary as we thought. We've made a 1ot of friends here, gotten use to the lifestyle,
and have a circuit of cons we attend each year. Not all that will change.But what won't change is our publishing. We will
continue to keep publishing Mimosa, although it may not be as regular are we'd
like it to be. We'll also keep up with our apas and other writing commitments. I want
to thank all those who enjoy Mimosa and let you know we'll keep on pubbing even
with the move. We just may be a little harder to find.Well, it seems I found a few words to put this
zine to bed after all. |
