Membership is governed by two rules: The "Damn Yankee" rule (no more than 20% of the membership could be non-Southern) and the Once a Southerner, Always a Southerner rule (a Southerner living in the North still counts as a Southerner). Shadow-SFPA is an apa for SFPA waitlisters.

An index to the first 270 mailings of SFPA is hosted at Fanac.org.

Mailings appear every other month - January, March, May, July, September, November. September 2011 (Mailing 283) was the 50th anniversary (the apa was originally quarterly). The September 1976 mailing had 880 pages! But the April 1981 mailing -- the 100th -- which was collated at Satyricon had 1,748 pages even without Harry Andruschak's 300+ page contribution. As of 2020, it was still active.
