Fanzine Friday #29: Mythellany (1981-1984) by the Mythopoeic Society

From the editor, Gary Myers:

This is Mythellaney [sic], a magazine for fun and for fantasy. Mythellaney is concocted by people like you who love reading about beasts, armor, princes, and then, (hopefully) writing about them. The magazine is not very large at present. Our goal is to grow to include not only stories by our readers, but also top professional talent. To help increase our circulation, a $25 dollar gift certificate from Dragon's Hoard Bookstore will go to the reader giving us the most paid subscriptions for our next issue (see details below). I and those who have worked with me on this issue hope you will find a laugh and a dream or two in it. There are cartoons, a crossword puzzle, and several stories we think you will enjoy. One is written by Phyllis A. Karr and those of us who enjoyed Robin and Queen Deraniel will be glad to meet them again in the Transalt Amulet on page 4. Ed Egan's tale I will let you discover for yourself on page 10. Fantasy is an arena for adventure, for a revel in ideals of courage and loyalty. In it we are free to explore the very hearts of things. Our modern world exacts a dreadful toll on the body, mind, and spirit. (Smog destroys the first, TV the second, and materialism the last. ) Fantasy is a refuge and a reaffirmation that man is more than the sum of his parts; he has a place in creation and a purpose in living. This magazine was created by those who believe in all the good things made possible by other worlds and other times -- a new loving, a new laughing, a new hope. As one of our writer's observes: "Come share the experience.
