I seached my name at Fanlore this week. With the exception of a Star Trek Voyager filk to the tune of the theme from Gilligan's Island having won an annual alt.startrek.creative award during the heyday of Usenet, I seem to have disappeared with the print fanzine era. That's what comes of hosting your work yourself to the exclusion of FF.net and AO3, I guess. Of course if it really mattered to me I would have looked before now.

I think you gave up too quickly: I've found four articles on Fanlore about your works without a significant amount of effort. Try this page for a start.

And, mind you, even if you were right about the filk being the only mention of your works, you'd still be one up on me: the only mention of me I can find (now that I think to look) is a reference to a fic somebody else wrote for me in Yuletide one year.

Okay, then I wasn't clear. I wasn't saying the entry on the filk was the only thing I found, I was saying it was the only web thing. I did see these entries but they're all print things from the 70s through the 90s. You can't tell from Fanlore that I'm still alive and still creating content, is what I was whining.

Aha, gotcha. I misread you exactly backwards: I thought by "disappeared with the print fanzine era" you meant that the print fanzine era had been forgotten, and your part in that era along with it.

Huh. Nothing under my fannish nickname (Stickmaker). Nothing under my writing pen name (Rodford Edmiston). Nothing under my legal name (Rodford Edmiston Smith).

Decades of brining chocolate chip cookies to cons and this is the recognition I get. :-)
