| Whimsical Amateur Press Association, created about 1956 by Larry Anderson to be an APA of a new type, intended for whimsy and humor. Instead of sending fanzines to an OE members mailed them direct to each other on individual deadlines (one week apart) as in the Cult. Little was ever done; the membership boasted several BNFs but slight enthusiasm. Dues were charged for no discoverable reason. There was no link or continuity between WAPA zines and schedules were little observed, so the club existed only a little over half a year before being formally disbanded. |
