VECTOR

VECTOR
   The journal of the BRITISH SCIENCE FICTION ASSOCIATION (BSFA). There have been 181 issues to Nov/Dec 1994.V has been published since the foundation of the BSFA in 1958, fairly regularly since the 1970s. E.C. TUBB was its first editor (\#1), and it has had 32 editors since then, including, briefly, Michael MOORCOCK (\#6-\#7). Both production and literary quality have fluctuated severely from editor to editor, and V has appeared variously as an association newsletter, a typical FANZINE and an academic journal. It had a strong period under the editorship of Roger Peyton in the mid-1960s (\#26-\#39), and has been much more consistent ever since 1972 when Malcolm EDWARDS took over (\#59-\#68), his successors including Christopher J. Fowler (\#69-83), David WINGROVE (\#84-\#94), Geoff Rippington(\#108-\#123), David V. Barrett (\#126-\#150), Boyd Parkinson and Kev McVeigh (\#151-\#160), and Kev McVeigh and Catie Cary (\#161-\#165) and by Cary alone (\#166-current). The page-size varied between large and small for many years, but since 1984 (\#122) it has been large-format A4. Since the late 1970s, when some of V's functions were hived off into other BSFApublications - paperback-book reviews in Paperback Parlour (soon renamed Paperback Inferno, and then incorporated into V from \#169), fan news inMatrix, and advice for new writers in Focus - V has sometimes looked less useful than it once was, but it has continued to print good interviews, major articles and substantial reviews, often approaching professional standards, but equally often lapsing into fannish polemic, which is quite proper, since its function is to act as a kind of central clearing house for UK FANDOM. Almost every UK sf writer of note has appeared in its pages, and many US writers too.
