      • 1950 December, R. J. Banks, “Slurp!”, inQuandry 5‎[2], number 5, archived fromthe original on20 July 2013, pages8–9:
        I also want to put in my two-cents-worth on the subject offan fiction. There has been a strong trend away from fiction in fanzines of late: SPACEWARP stopped usingfan fiction shortly before the end; ORB followed suit; WYLIE STAR will switch; most of the new mags are starting out with non-fiction plans. I think fiction is just as important (if not more so) in fmz as articles. Where else will embryo pro-authors get their start?

        Chris Carter may bar X-Filers Mulder and Scully forever from consummating their deep bond—but it's a common fantasy in the archives offan fiction, where familiar TV and movie characters populate digital poems, scripts, short stories—even full-length novels—that span hundreds of websites and Usenet discussion groups. Readership figures are elusive, but fanfic's America Online index page has collected a half million hits in the past year.

        This can be, as you note below, quite fun and entertaining, but I do think that it is very easy for people to lose track of the fact that all of these "speculations" are justfan fictions that have little to do with what Tolkien actually wrote.
