No. There were batshit SJW crusaders, up to and including fake deaths and people getting banned from cons, in the 1930s (and if you post about it, there are people who have still google alerts on those fannish names and will still try to wank about it.)

19th century Dickens fandom was even crazier, from what I understand, and then you get the people who were into multi-volume novels in the 18th century...

Now I want to know about fannish conventions in the 1930s. What did they fanwank over? Sherlock Holmes? Jules Verne? The homoeroticism of the movie "Wings?" :-D

Originally '30s fandom qua fandom was about science fiction short story magazines and novels but by the time they were actually doing large conventions, AFAICT they were mostly wanking about fandom itself and had largely stopped caring about what was actually in the pro magazines.

As you do.

(At least the BNFs. There was a contingent of newer fans around that time who were starting new zines for the purpose of actually talking about SF though, because they were sick of what was going on with the dysfunction in the established fandom, and then organized fandom sort of paused for WWII and rebooted itself after.)

Fandom Up To Now http://efanzines.com/UpToNow/ is a wonderfully hilarious book-length wank report from 1939, although it ends before the events in the fandom_wank post listed above (although warning, that's the personalities people are apparently still wanking about now.)

HAHA that is awesome. I will have to keep this in my Inbox and look it up when I have time later. It is heartening that in the midst of Depression, people still had the energy to care about these things, LOL. (I'm not criticizing them; we do the same thing now. Make-believe probably becomes MORE important in bad times.)

Way late, but there was a huge mass of fandom in the...1800's? I think, when Doyle decided to kill off Sherlock. Like...huge groups of people started writing fanfiction, and harassing him to bring Sherlock back and it was just crazy from what I've read about it.

So, not exactly conventions, but I'm betting some people totally got thrown out of their local group[s] for not sharing the same viewpoints ='D

Heh, I'll match your bet ;)
