Unifying Star Wars Fandom -- A Panel Discussion (1992)

This was held at MediaWest*Con 12. It was published in Southern Enclave #32, via a transcript by audio tape supplied by Tim Blaes.
Panel members were Cheree Cargill, Melea Fisher, Pat Grant, Judith Yuenger.
Some topics: cohesion in Star Wars fandom, rumors regarding "The Swedish Zine," a timeline of SW zines, the Corellian Archives, the new films...
A similar panel was held a year later at MediaWest*Con, and that discussion was included in Southern Enclave #37. See The Unifying Star Wars Fandom Panel.
==A Scary Story That Isn't True==
One thing that comes up is a false story of fannish horror: "There were six issues and they had to discontinue because of LucasFilm... had to quit producing because they were told they were doing a 'no-no.'... In the very beginning of Star Wars fandom, George Lucas did not understand fandom and there was one group in Florida... That [LucasFilm] sent the FBI into these people' houses, the FBI confiscated all of their materials, all of their punching machines, everything, for copyright infringement laws. That was before they got more specific in the laws and what was allowable and what was not. And Lucas took them to court and sued them."
While there was contention regarding a zine called "The Dark Lord," these fans get all sorts of things mixed up. First, they confuse the Swedish zine, Dark Lord with the one published in the US called The Dark Lord, of which there was only a single issue. LucasFilm didn't confiscate zines and hole-punches in either the United States or Sweden and didn't sue these fans in court.
See Open Letters to Star Wars Zine Publishers by Maureen Garrett for more information on the subject of LucasFilm and fans in the early 1980s.

Union J

Union J was a British boy band active from 2012 - 2018. The band was formed on The X Factor in Series 9 when Simon Cowell and Louis Walsh, two of the judges, added popular solo auditionee George Shelley to auditioning boy band Triple J, consisting of Josh Cuthbert, Jaymi Hensley, and JJ Hamblett. In 2016, following the departure of George Shelley, Union J took on Casey Cody Johnson from Stereo Kicks as a temporary fourth band member.
==Significance in Gay History==
Union J is significant for having the first out gay boy band member while their band was still performing, as Jaymi Hensley came out only a few weeks into the band's term on The X Factor in 2012. This posed a risk to their careers at the time because The X Factor relied heavily on achieving the over-60 votes in more conservative areas of the UK to stay in the competition, but Union J managed to achieve positive press from Jaymi's coming out and they remained in the competition long enough to get 4th place. After leaving the band, in 2016, George Shelley also came out, first as bisexual, then later as gay.
==In Fandom==
Union J fans were called Jcats. Band member George Shelley, an aspiring designer before The X Factor, designed a fan logo for the Jcats, but was cyberbullied for it by fans of fellow X Factor groups District3 and Only The Young, as well as One Direction fans.
===George Shelley===
George was far and away the most popular member of the group both within fandom and with the general public. He was the group's youngest member, entering Union J at age 19, shortly after his 19th birthday. The first George Shelley fanfiction was posted on the night of his The X Factor audition, "Let You Put Your Hands On Me In My Skin-Tight Jeans" by aimmyarrowshigh and spibsyhttps://higherarrowsfic.livejournal.com/26271.html on LiveJournal, https://archiveofourown.org/works/814310 on AO3. The first pairing for George was a crossover with One Direction, pairing him with Harry Styles.

Union of Wakanakwa’s Underappreciated Staff

Union of Wakanakwa’s Underappreciated Staff was a Discord server in the Total Drama fandom for talking about original characters. Many posts about the interns themselves can be seen on Tumblr under the #internposting tag, and the Discord popularized the term 'internsonas' for self-insert intern OCs within the fandom on Tumblr.
On 25 September 2024, it appears to have imploded. A Google document was made and shared on a burner Tumblr account over some arguments within the server and the DMs of some of its members titled (posted on Tumblr .) The implosion caused one fan, footemoji, to leave Tumblr. (29 Sept 2024) Reactions to the Google Document were largely negative towards the writer of the document, mostly that the arguments could've been resolved over DMs.
The Google Document caused the server to be deleted. (27 Sept 2024)

Unique Adams/Ryder Lynn

Unique/Ryder, or Rynique, is a het rarepair in the Glee fandom. 
==In Canon==
Both Unique and Ryder were created as characters for successful contestants, in separate seasons, of The Glee Project (Alex Newell and Blake Jenner, respectively). They first appear together in Glee as recurring characters for season 4 before being promoted to mains in season 5 and written out halfway through the season. Unique, a Black trans girl, and Ryder, a white cis boy, meet in Glee club when Unique transfers to McKinley and Ryder is recruited to the team. Their main duet is "The Bitch Is Back/Dress You Up" by Elton John and Madonna (respectively). They agree to sing it together as a truce for their earlier fight where Unique defends Marley and Ryder misgenders Unique, but it only makes things worse. Meanwhile, Unique begins catfishing Ryder because she has a crush on him."Feud." Glee, Season 4, Episode 16, 14 Mar. 2013. They become friends in meatspace and begin an online relationship until Ryder realizes what's going on and breaks it off. Unique confesses to being the catfish and Ryder vows never to speak to her again."All or Nothing." Glee, Season 4, Episode 22, 9 May 2013. The plotline is more or less forgotten by the next season, and they seem to be tentative friends, with Ryder properly gendering her consistently now. He comes to her defense when he learns she was attacked in the men's bathroom."The End of Twerk." Glee Season 5, Episode 5, 14 Nov. 2013. Otherwise they are paired together in the background of some remaining episodes or musical numbers but their relationship is never focused on again.
==In Fandom==
Compared to how prolific the Glee fandom is overall, Rynique is a definitely a rarepair, with only 66 fic on AO3 as of 20 June 2023https://archiveofourown.org/tags/Unique%20Adams*s*Ryder%20Lynn/works, but it is the most common Ryder pairing (barely beating out Ryder/Jake) and by far the most common Unique pairing. There was a great deal of activity in 2013, slightly dampened in 2014 by them being written out, but interest in the pair was renewed by the series finale in 2015, showing them holding hands after the time jump. Content for the pair is still made occasionally, although between the age of the fandom and the controversy surrounding Jenner, fan activity has significantly slowed. Transformative works often focus either on the catfishing plot and/or explorations of the transphobia Unique faces, or else fluff that gets them together with little attention to the drama between them in canon.

United Fan Con courteously requests my absence

United Fan Con courteously requests my absence is a 2007 essay by Peter David.

The post generated 286 comments.
==Some Topics Discussed in the Comments==
* outrage on David's behalf
* many invitations to come to other cons where it is promised he'll be treated well (offers of cake, of meatball sandwiches, of spare bedrooms, of promised perks and more appreciation, "if it makes you feel any better, you can come to any event I’m involved in and I won’t dis-invite you no matter much you don’t charge – you’re all witnesses to the vow I’m making. We love ya big guy!")
* a snarky comment about overweight fans
* suggestions to set firmer limits on con agreement requirements
* many comments about fan run and procons
* many comments about amateurish efforts by volunteers
* a big fight with a troll named Ajay with accusations of whining and cult of personality

United Federation of Planets Journal

United Federation of Planets Journal is a 251-page Star Trek zine. It has the subtitle, "Dedicated to the Universal Understanding of I.D.I.C.." 
From the title page, "The IDIC -- translated from the Vulcan (Surak's Koon-ut-kal-if-fee Vulcansis) Editor's note: You may find this translation to be a bit verbose and excessive. I have found the Vulcan language to be the most difficult for the non-terran languages to adapt to English. I have made several attempts to simplify it, but with each attempt, the Vulcan idiom was lost. I felt that, in this case, simplicity must lost prominence to the depth of Surak's challenge to his people"

United Federation of Star Trek Fans (Illinois, US)

United Federation of Star Trek Fans was a 1970s Star Trek: TOS fan club based in Illinois, US.
It was previously titled "Star Trek National Fan Club" which apparently has nothing to do with Star Trek National Fan Club. Under that previous title, the club published Star Trek Junior, which the first editor admitted was "an inferior fanzine." from Star Trek Today #7 
James Blish was an honorary member, as was Gene Roddenberry. Blish was aware of this fact, but as stated in Star Trek Today #5, Roddenberry had no idea.
This club's sole purpose was to publish Star Trek Today, and the club folded when its president gafiated.
When the current editor of Star Trek Today took over, he sold the club's unused business cards as well as other merch:

United Federation of Trekkers

The United Federation of Trekkers (UFT) was a Star Trek fan club in Columbia, South Carolina. Eric L. Watts was the founder. The UFT held its first organizational meeting on August 23, 1980, at the Richland County Public Library in downtown Columbia. Between 1980 and 1988, the UFT listed on its membership roster a total of 103 members, although there were never that many members at any one time. Watts served as the UFT's president until 1988; in May of that year, he relocated to Atlanta, Georgia, and the club sputtered out of existence about a year later.
The club appears to have had an earlier or similar incarnation in the mid-1970s called "United Federation of S.C. Trekkies" which published a zine called Star Log.
==Publications==
 
The UFT published 27 more-or-less monthly issues of a newsletter called Captain's Quarters between late 1980 and early 1984. The first dozen or so issues were primarily a photocopied or dittoed 8½ x 11 two-page letterzine written by Watts; the last several issues were a photocopied, saddle-stitched, 12- to 24-page digest-sized booklet that accepted contributions from the membership (in addition to club news), making it more of a mini-fanzine than a newsletter. After a year-long hiatus, the UFT relaunched its newsletter/minizine as Transwarp, a bimonthly, membership-driven, photocopied, saddle-stitched, 12- to 16-page digest-sized fanzine which no longer contained club-specific news. The UFT published four issues of Transwarp between 1985 and 1986.
In 1980, the UFT published Star Sector One, a 48-page digest-sized fanzine with content written, drawn and/or created by club members. Content was solicited and collected for a second issue, but funding for its publication never materialized before the UFT disbanded in 1989. In 2003, Watts rekeyed the typewritten manuscript as a DTP document and published Star Sector Two as a fundraiser for TrekTrak, fully acknowledging the original source and purpose of its contents on the contents page.

In a 1977 interview, the club president said that Joan Winston (who got clearance for the club) "cautioned her from the beginning about the challenge of starting an official club. The stars are so often disappointed and taken advantage of." from All About Star Trek Fan Clubs #6 (December 1977)

I am hoping that more divisions will be springing up. In this way, all of Bill's fans will be able to keep abreast of what this fine man, and fantastic craftsman is doing. Hopefully, in this manner, no one will have to miss even a precious once of any William Shatner performance."
The different divisions were listed, as well as their leaders and addresses: The California Division, The English Division, The Indiana Division, the Japanese Division, and The Virginia Division.
