A FAPAzine published by Helen Wesson, which ran for at least 52 issues.

In a 1954 reminiscence of her publishing life, Helen wrote:

My admiration for Laney's complete lack of inhibition in his thinking and writing "unlaxed" my own mental restrictions from whalebone stays. Helen's Fantasia—of which three issues have been mimeod in FAPA's tradition of thoughts-first-appearance-second and devil-take-the-prudish—is currently fulfilling my activity requirement of eight pages per year for the limited membership of 65.
