Tin Tacks

Tin Tacks was a fanzine published by Donald J. Doughty in the UK which was distributed as a rider with Futurian War Digest.

In its first issue, Dougty wrote:

Get out your tools – pencil, pen and ink, or typer – and write to me (or should it be us?) at the address given above. Write anything and everything you like about any ASF, past, present, or future, American or BRE, complimentary or otherwise, about authors, artwork, editors, correspondents, or anything else that you can think of, but please (just a moment while I place a cushion to kneel on) WRITE!!

Ted Carnell in some senses conceived Sands of Time as a continuation or successor to Tin Tacks. He wrote in the first issue of Sands...:

However, due consideration for Don and the fact that TT was run on his ideas, caused us to slightly revise the policy. Herewith then [Sands of Time] which will take the place of TT as a fanzine dealing mainly with the doings of Astounding and Unknown.
