Oote Circle

Oote circle (大手サークル、oote saakuru), literally "major circle", is a term for a doujinshi circle that's extremely popular. This popularity can manifest itself in several ways. The circle probably sells large amounts of doujinshi and may belong to the minority of circles who actually make a profit selling their doujinshi.Selling several thousand doujinshi during a convention is generally seen as the mark of an oote circle. Doujin yougo no kisochishiki. In doujin shops, the circle's doujinshi may be placed on the shelves in the "doujinshi per author" category, which is reserved for very popular creators, instead of in the regular "per genre" or "per pairing" categories. During doujinshi conventions, the circle may be assigned a space near the walls instead of in a island in the middle of the hall, because the spaces at the walls have enough room in front of them to accommodate large numbers of queueing potential buyers. "Kabe circle" (壁サークル, "kabe saakuru"), meaning "wall circle", has become a synonym for "oote circle" for this reason.Otaku yougo jiten, p.90.

Open Letter

An open letter is a letter that is intended to be read by a wide audience. Open letters can take the form of a letter addressed to an individual but provided to the public through letterzines, mailing lists, personal journals, blogs, and other media. An open letter can be written by one person or by a group. Some open letters contain a legal stance that, while mailed to an individual, is meant to be publicized so that others are aware of its content. 
==Motivations Behind Open Letters==
* to state the author's position on a particular issue
* an attempt to start or end a wider dialogue around an issue
* to criticise someone else's actions
* to attempt to focus broad attention on the letter's recipient, prompting them to some action
* to make public a communication that must take place as a letter for reasons of formality
* to publicly apologize to as many fans as possible
* as a fandom flounce
* for humor value

Open Letter by "S.T.A.B. Paramount" Regarding a Proposed Boycott of All Paramount Productions

"We are showing Paramount that we are loyal fans who will stop at nothing... [until] there is going to be a Star Trek movie." 
Open Letter by "S.T.A.B. Paramount" Regarding a Proposed Boycott of All Paramount Productions is an open letter written in reaction to the 1973 announcement of the forthcoming Star Trek: The Animated Series, to demonstrate support for a Star Trek movie.
It was distributed to fan groups on the form of a flier. 
The letter was a proposed fan campaign which promoted the formation and goals of the Star Trek Association Boycotting Paramount, a fan group based in Wisconsin.
In anticipation of a reaction from The Powers That Be at Paramount, a copy was also sent to Gene Roddenberry. PDF from The Trek Files
==From the Letters==
==Reply from Gene Roddenberry==
Roddenberry responded to the personal letter accompanying the flier and set forth his own position on the damage that may have prevailed upon a Star Trek movie if such a boycott had had an impact.
 
==The Podcast==
To celebrate 50 years of Star Trek, Eugene "Rod" Roddenberry Jr. of Roddenberry Entertainment, uploaded much of his father's archived correspondence (newly watermarked), including the material originally generated by "S.T.A.B. Paramount". These files are the subject of a podcast hosted by The Trek Files group on Facebook. Podcast from The Trek Files

Open Letter by Bjo Trimble to Doctor Who Fans

In March 1995, Bjo Trimble sent a letter to various fan clubs in a fan campaign to recruit support to have Gareth Thomas (among other things, Thomas portrayed Roj Blake in Blake's 7) play the part of the new Doctor in Doctor Who. 
Her reasons included:
* Thomas' Welsh background, his voice, his physical appearance
* Thomas' desire for the part
* Thomas was an excellent guest of honor at cons and was nice to fans
Trimble also advocated for herself to be guest of honor with Thomas in future events.
This fan campaign wasn't Trimble's first rodeo; she had been a main player in the various, very early Star Trek fan campaigns. 
==Where the Letter Was Published==
It is unknown what Doctor Who fandom venues this letter appeared. 
An edited version of it appears in Dreamwatch #9.
One Blake's 7 place of publication was the April 1995 issue of Horizon Newsletter with the introduction: "This letter was sent to the club membership from Bjo Trimble, who asked that we let everyone know about this."
The open letter was also printed in full in Rallying Call #14.

Open Letter by Della Van Hise Regarding "Killing Time"

Killing Time was a Star Trek pro book written by Della Van Hise.
It is notable in fandom for the supposed subtle K/S elements in the first edition, an edition that was quickly pulled by the publisher and replaced with a slightly different version. 
The book fueled much fannish discussion in many letterzines and elsewhere, and continues to be a topic of interest. See Killing Time for more. 
The author commented on her book in October/November 1985 in Datazine #38, and again April 1986 in an open letter to Interstat #102.

Did ALIEN BROTHERS ever go to press? The editor wailed so long and hard about being sabotaged that I wonder if she wasn’t using that subterfuge as an excuse for not producing.

Open Letter by Winston A. Howlett Regarding His Review of "Alternative: Epilog to Orion"

In 1976, Winston A. Howlett wrote a review of the zine Alternative: Epilog to Orion and published it in Probe #9 in August 1976. 
It generated much reaction, both in his own zine, and in other zines. The controversy was one reason several of the contributors to "Probe" left the zine and asked to be disassociated with it.
For a similar rant in 1996 by a zine ed, see GARBAGE LIKE THAT HAS NO PLACE IN FANDOM.

In Probe #10 (which Howlett called "The War Issue" due to the topics of the fiction included, and two the controversy his essay stirred up), Howlett printed two letters by fans who addressed his views. In Probe #10's editorial, he wrote: ""Feedback" concludes the war against mistaken ideas (like the Winston-Howlett-hates-gay-people lie)."
===Winston's Response to the Two Letters Printed in "Probe" #10 (1977)===
The open letter Howlett wrote in response to the backlash he'd received was printed in Probe #10 and was over five-pages, single-spaced.

Open Letter from Jacqueline Lichtenberg to Ted White

In late 1970, Jacqueline Lichtenberg wrote an open letter to Ted White, "for his Fantasy Fandom Department in FANTASTIC."
The letter was written roughly a year after the third and final season of Star Trek: TOS. The letter was part of Lichtenberg's campaign to promote the show to TPTB in hopes of getting more canon material perhaps in the form of more episodes, a movie, or pro books. The letter was also part of Lichtenberg's desire to see Star Trek recognized as a "legitimate" form of science fiction, as well as promoting fan works.
 
Some other important context: at the time Lichtenberg was actively campaigning for more interest in Star Trek, she was also compiling A Strekzine Roster and Strekfan Roster Questionnaire, both of which were then used as the basis of her best-selling book Star Trek Lives!. 
It is unknown if the letter was utilized in any way by Ted White in "Fantastic." Lichtenberg send a copy of it (which she called both a letter and an essay) to the zine Maybe #13 in Summer 1971, and wrote: "I am also enclosing a copy of an essay I sent to Ted White for his Fantasy Fandom Department in FANTASTIC (but he probably won't use it.)"
In the letter, Lichtenberg, with relentless self-promotion, proclaims not to be a spokesperson for all of Trek fandom, but disingenuously takes on that mantle. The letter itself rambles and repeats its main points. The tone is pedantic, and at times, pointedly snubs the very audience it was written to appeal to; "old school" science fiction fans likely would have rolled a collective eye at some of Lichtenberg's statements, some of which reenforced rather than refuted some of her arguments regarding "wide-eyed Trekkies."
Lichtenberg also stresses that Strekdom is largely made up of "unmarried girls" and that "females are particularly susceptible to Spockshock and notorious for their catlike curiosity."
