Those are chicken feed compared to your real accomplishment. ;)
You are also responsible for putting Tarrant on the map, so to speak.
In the Southern Comfort 6.5 editorial you wrote: "Isn't it amazing how Tarrant has been enjoying such an upsurge in popularity of late? There are several Tarrant stories in this issue, much more than the norm." Some fans translated that to mean "Tarrant is taking over fandom." At MediaWest the month after the zine came out, fans would make it a point to stop by our room and say things like "You know, Avon really *is* the most popular character." We would close our door and giggle until our sides hurt. Such an overreaction to a *few* stories.
The "Panic of '91" is one of my fondest MW memories. Thanks, Annie.
