| From Fancyclopedia 2, ca. 1959 |
| Every magazine must have departments, and some, both in the pro and in the fan fields, have become overloaded with them. They include the editorial, the contents page, a letter section, reviews of proz and fanzines, artistic and argumentative quotations, and various columns and polls. However, articles with titles such as "Two Letters from Harry Schmarje Dept" are actually a peculiar form of humor, it being understood that the item is not a department and will not recur. |
