Kevin Standlee: Fandom Is My Way of Life

I think it's one thing and one thing alone: people read Ansible that don't read any other zine. There was a time when Emerald CIty was close to the same readership and Cheryl came close, but didn't hit it.

Personally, I'd rather see someone like Claire win one, but I know I'm in the minority of fandom that sees a lot of different fanzines and fan writers. IF there were larger readerships, I think we'd see different winners far more frequently.

I do think that the 'Since he won last year I should vote for him' effect exists, but it's not the only reason he wins. I still think he should take himself out of the running, but I know that's an unpopular belief.
