From: Fournier.pasa@Xerox.ARPA ...is to write to thon care of thon's publisher. I have started my correspondence with McCaffrey, Norton, Asimov, and others just that way. Many authors are very polite in responding to fanmail. Harlan Ellison has ignored folk, and sent out a form letter due to time pressures. Asimov uses postcards, for the same reason. If the author was at a convention you recently attended, write to them care of the concommittee. Publishers are frequently less busy, and may forward your letter faster. Marina Fournier
