Examples

“Eofandom, from about 1930 to 1933, existed before fandom became an entity; generally comprised of folk with no sense⟳ of group existence whose interests were in collecting stf and scientificomics, and who eagerly hunted down any items with any sort⟳ of stfnal significance. Such fanzines as Science Fiction Digest and The Comet were the mags of the day. Primitive trilobites crawled about on the ocean floor. Letter-writing was a major activity, and stfnists depended on hcs of the past as much as, or more than, prozines for sustenance.”

“The Grennells were making their first visit⟳ to the home of the Scion of Eofandom in ten years, having last⟳ visited here in 1955 while the house was being built.”

“A Fan History Lounge would be a great way to educate⟳ modern-day fans about Eofandom, fanac during World War II, and so on.”
