Dear Joe,

"They're called the Fen." -- Galen, The Well of Forever

Now either you're a subtle, subversive son of a gun, or my mind just works
in too devious a fashion. If the former, then I salute you for your subtlety.
If the latter, then the comments still apply....for those who see.

Ah yes, the Fen. Usually content to allow one to pass through their midst
unmolested, happy to have them touch their lives however briefly as they
drift through space and time. But on occasion there's one who will really
try to stick it to you.

Thanks. I'm enjoying Crusade.

Bear in mind that I didn't write that one.

Why does everyone else get this Fen connection, but no one actually says
what they think it means. Stop being so cryptical and tell the rest of
us what we are so obtusely missing.

It's the fannish plural of fan! :) And a very old usage, indeed.

actually. i would like this cleared up too, though i have somewhat of an idea.
not much of one, just somewhat. :-) don't want to post it though to A) keep
from confusing people who think i'm right, and B) don't want to look like a
fool for beign very wrong. lol

"Fen" is, in SF fandom, plural for "fan".

I already answered this, but my reply apparently didn't please the
moderators. Take that for what it's worth.
