WOOF ended up getting a good number of contributions this year. There were fourteen zines in it (not counting the official organ), and a total of 77 pages. According to Roger Hill, that's the second biggest page-count ever. Not that size is any guarantee of quality, of course. Ahem.

Here are the contents of WOOF #36:

Cover by Stu Shiffman (1 page)
Worse Than Its Bite by Randy Byers and Roger Hill (3 pages)
"The Worst Idea Bruce Pelz Ever Had" by Randy Byers (4 pages)
Yipe by Jason Schachat, Kevin Roche, EspaƱa Sheriff, Mette Hedin (12 pages)
Argosies and Agonies #01 by Lloyd Penney (2 pages)
Born to Lose by Guy Lillian (2 pages)
L*I*S*P #12 by Christopher J. Garcia (8 pages)
Report From Hoople #112.313 by Roger Hill (1 page)
BW #5 by Claire Brialey and Mark Plummer (10 pages)
Ytterbium Dioxide by Alan Stewart (6 pages)
The Man with Two Fezzes by John Coxon (10 pages)
Re: Westercon by Andy Trembley (2 pages)
A fragmented personal history of fannish drinking by David Cake (2 pages)
Tales from the Frozen North by Dean Gahlon (2 pages)
A Tuesday in July by Andy Hooper (6 pages)
Over the Hill by Katrina Templeton (6 pages)

The printed ToC lists another 1 page zine that didn't actually make it in. The collation went fine, other than the fact that I brought the wrong staples and then caused Yipe to be collated backwards. I was particularly happy to get contributions from the TAFF and DUFF delegates, John Coxon and David Cake.

I have a handful of extra copies of this distribution. If you'd like one, let me know.

Arriving around noon on Wednesday, departing sometime on Sunday. I have to be at the WOOF collation at noon on Saturday, but I think that's about my only commitment.

It feels like Worldcon has already been going on for a while. I've been doing fannish social stuff every night since the TAFF delegate arrived on Wednesday. Over the weekend I also started printing things -- my WOOF zine ("The Worst Idea Bruce Pelz Ever Had"), Stu Shiffman's cover for WOOF, John Coxon's WOOF zine (The Man with Two Fezzes), and finally, at long last, my report about last November's travels, Alternative Pants. I will be busy printing tonight as well, and packing and getting a few last minute chores taken care of before hitting the road to Reno tomorrow. Hopefully Andy H will be stopping by with his WOOF contribution at some point. WOOF is coming along nicely, with ten titles in the ToC already.

Facebook is alight with people announcing their departures for or arrivals at Reno. I'm looking forward to seeing many friends there. Meanwhile I'll be printing and stapling and trying to remember what I'm forgetting to pack. Cellphone charger cord, check. Camera and battery recharger, check. Official Organ for WOOF on thumb drive, check. Deodorant, check. Alternative Pants, check. Alternative pants, check. Head ... um, now where did I put it? It was around here just a minute ago.

This is just a reminder to anyone who is planning to submit a fanzine to WOOF (the Worldcon APA) this year.

Copy count is 69.

I need to know the title and page count of your zine so I can add it to the ToC.

THIS IS A CHANGE SINCE MY LAST ANNOUNCEMENT: If you are mailing your zines to me rather than delivering them (or having them delivered) to the convention, I need to receive them by Monday, August 15th. I had previously said the deadline was the 16th, but it turns out I'm leaving for Reno before mail arrives on Tuesday.

There will be a drop box in the fanzine lounge for anyone who brings their fanzine to the convention. Please drop them off by noon Friday.

Collation will be at noon on Saturday in the fanzine lounge.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions at fringefaan@yahoo.com.

So I have agreed to be the OE of WOOF this year. WOOF is the World Organization of Faneditors, and it distributes an APA at every Worldcon. The traditional copy count for WOOF has been 100, but participation in recent years has been in single digits. On the other hand, the 2009 OE, [livejournal.com profile] lloydpenney thinks we'll get more participation in Reno. Extra copies of the APA will be distributed to interested bystanders. So what do you guys think the copy count should be? I've made this the subject of my first-ever LJ poll. (Hope this works!)
