FAN FACE #1:
(This is an unofficial sixth FAAn Award, calculated and bestowed only
when a fan is able to amass more total voting points across all categories
than any single fan or fanzine receives in any single category. In this
year, for example, if no fan had managed to exceed the 98 points received
by Steve Stiles as best Fan Artist, and each of the editors of CHUNGA,
who all are credited with its 98 points as Best Fanzine, then we would
have no Fan Face #1. Happily, several fans had more than 98 total points
across all five categories, allowing us the pleasure of calculating the
top 20 finishers for Fan Face #1, therefore permitting each of the subsequent
finishers to refer to themselves as "Fan Face #8," etc. should
they feel the desire to do so. To be eligible for the list, a fan must
receive votes in at least two categories:)
1.) Randy Byers -- 176 points
2.) Andy Hooper -- 127 points
3.) Sue Mason -- 118 points*
4.) Steve Stiles -- 103 points
5.) carl juarez -- 99 points
6.) Tied: Claire Brialey and Alison Scott -- each 79 points
8.) Robert Lichtman -- 78 points
9.) Jae Leslie Adams -- 73 points
10.) Mark Plummer -- 61 points
11.) Tracy Benton -- 60 points
12.) Steve Davies -- 55 points
12.) Harry Warner Jr. -- 55 points
14.) D. West -- 36 points
15.) Eloise Mason -- 31 points
16.) Lillian Edwards -- 29 points
17.) Kate Yule -- 25 points
18.) Doug Bell -- 24 points
18.) Ted White -- 24 points
20.) John Hertz -- 23 points
(*-- Although not a named editor, Sue Mason is an acknowledged and pivotal
member of the "Plokta Cabal," and therefore counts the 47 votes
amassed by that fanzine.)
Four-Way Fans:
It is very unusual for a fan to receive votes in all four of the "disciplinary"
categories, for being the editor of a fanzine receiving votes as the best
of the year, as well as votes for being the best fan writer, artist and
correspondent of the year. This year, we can give special recognition
to Sue Mason and Alison Scott for receiving votes for Best Fanzine, Fan
Writer, Fan Artist and Letterhack.
