Inner Circle

(Did you mean a Walter Shedlofsky fanzine?)

From Fancyclopedia 2, ca. 1959

Aside from the distinctions between fans and stfnists, and trufans and confans, the super-active group is sometimes considered separately. Inner Circle fans may be considered as those who subscribe to a significant fraction of all fanzines, including all the leading ones; who correspond with other leading fans; publish one or several fanzines; play politics and perform duties in fan organizations; promote activities such as fan gatherings; and author many pieces published in others' fanzines. They are the ones who at a given time may be considered essential to fandom's continued existence. In fandomwide polls the top ten fans should all come from this group.

Aside from the distinctions between fans and scientifictionists, the "real fans" or super-actives are sometimes considered separately. Inner Circle fans may be considered as those who subscribe to most fanzines, all of the leading ones; correspond with other leading fans; publish one or several fanzines; play politics and perform duties in fan organizations; promote activities such as fan gatherings; and author many pieces published in others' fanzines.

This is probably not going to represent the group's full lifetime, so please update it if you can!
