Ladies and gentlemen, I can't begin to tell you how flattered, humbled, and impressed I really am.
Oh, I'm Chris Yost. More on me in a minute.
My friend in Essex, UK, and I were talking about things, and somehow the subject came up about what I'd written in the past. Imagine my shock and surprise to find that at URL http://www.trickster.org/symposium/symp173.htm that lo and/or behold, MY NAME CAME UP IN IT!
1976 1976 "Fatality Syndrome" becomes one of the first Space 1999 fanzines published.
Television In the Space 1999 fandom, The Fatality Syndrome becomes the first fanzine published. Space 1999 Merchandise: Fan Fiction says: "It was written by Chris Yost. Story one in what was conceived to be a series of stories called The Psychon Trilogy, centering on a certain lovely Alphan alien member of the crew."
So, hiya! :)
Thank you so much to whoever wrote that, and actually must've bought copies from me! I'm absolutely delighted and grinning at seeing that up and among such an august listing as well!
I never did finish the 3rd part or started any of the other stories of "The Continuing Voyages of Moonbase Alpha"! I doubt by now anyone would be interested or want to read 'em, would be a shame actually. But I know I had a LOT of fun writing them!
I'm still writing, and I'm still doing -- *gag* -- "fan fiction". My genre nowadays is in furry fandom, and I author "Sabrina Online: The Story" and "Tabitha", stories using my own characters and incorporating characters from the webcomic "Sabrina Online". And they're free, just drop by my website www.chrisfoxx.com and sit down for an evening of reading. Those of you who read "Fatality Syndrome" and "Isolated!" will quickly see I've actually improved over the years ... jeez, I was just told *31* of them!!
So thank you, whoever you were, for making my night :)
And if anyone wants to drop me a line, don't be shy!
All the best to you and yunz,
(a little Pittsburghese lingo there),
Chris |

| ADMIN: Some Clarification |

Hey, folks. I just wanted to post a reminder/clarification of the purpose of this community. ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) ffsymposium is a forums for discussion of Fanfic Symposium columns. Anyone is welcome to open a discussion of an older column, but posts should be tied to some specific column or columns on the Symposium. A link back to the column or columns would be swell.
I tend to let requests for help with research projects slide, as I'm in something of a personal glass house there (and frankly, I'd rather have researchers talking to you all ;), and you're always welcome to write to me and ask if something appropriate. However, general queries and topics should be posted to more suitable communities. |
