==Shadow SFPA==
 +
 
 +
Shadow SFPA was an [[apa]] for people on the SFPA [[waitlist]] that was founded by [[Beth Schwarzin]] in 1977. The [[OEship]] passed from member to member as they are admitted to SFPA.  It existed between May 1977 and September 1984, and had a total of 45 distributions.  Shadow-SFPA distributions were both sent out to its members and included as a contribution to SFPA mailings.  Shadow-SFPA OEs throughout its run were Beth Schwarzin (now Liz Copeland), [[Linda Karrh]] (later Linda Pickersgill and now [[Linda Krawecke]]), [[Nicki Lynch]], [[Charlie Williams]], and [[Mike Rogers]] (now Michelle Rogers).

(Did you mean the Science Fiction Poetry Association?)


The Southern Fandom Press Alliance is a bi-monthly apa limited (though not entirely) to fans living in the Old South. It was founded in September 1961 by Bob Jennings. Its Official Organ is The Southerner.

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). (These rules have been greatly relaxed due to decreasing membership and the apa is now open to anyone.) Shadow-SFPA was an apa for SFPA waitlisters when SFPA had a lengthy waitlist.

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 15th anniversary mailing had 843 pages, the September 1981 20th anniversary mailing had 913 pages, and the September 1986 25th anniversary mailing had 1,037 pages! But the April 1981 mailing -- the 100th -- which was collated at Satyricon had 1,750 pages and ranks as the largest apa mailing of all time in terms of total page count. As of 2022, it was still active.

Shadow SFPA[edit]

Shadow SFPA was an apa for people on the SFPA waitlist that was founded by Beth Schwarzin in 1977. The OEship passed from member to member as they are admitted to SFPA. It existed between May 1977 and September 1984, and had a total of 45 distributions. Shadow-SFPA distributions were both sent out to its members and included as a contribution to SFPA mailings. Shadow-SFPA OEs throughout its run were Beth Schwarzin (now Liz Copeland), Linda Karrh (later Linda Pickersgill and now Linda Krawecke), Nicki Lynch, Charlie Williams, and Mike Rogers (now Michelle Rogers).
