TOFF Episode 4

Thank you for continuing your series. I’m enjoying it. There are a couple of things in this episode about which I’d like to comment.
– You mentioned that Forest J Ackerman promoted the “genre nickname” sci-fi to refer to science fiction. If I recall correctly from Harry Warner Jr’s fan history, “All Our Yesterdays,” Mr Ackerman actually coined this term. (Wikipedia confirms it anyway.) “Sci-fi,” which the Olde Guarde Fandom pronounced “skiffy” when they had to pronounce it, certainly didn’t like it. As Isaac Asimov Himself once wrote,
“Gentle reader; you might wonder, why
“Isn’t SF the same as Sci-Fi?
“Well you see, there’s a fine line
“Between Robert Heinlein
“And Son Of The Two Headed Fly.”

Personally, I think it makes my favourite literary genre sound like a cheap stereo. I blame Millennials for its current popularity. (Why not? The poor beggars seem to be to blame for everything else.)
– You referred to Ms Farah Mar, (whose name I’m sure I’ve misspelled), before referring to her by her married name. I confess that, for a moment, I confused her with Taral Wayne’s Kjola character, Saara Mar. (The names are similar, but of course I was just confused.) I’m sorry to admit that I’ve never heard of Farah. Can you tell me, please, where I can learn more about her?
Thanks again and best wishes,
— Dee
