VoMaidens

from Fancyclopedia 1 ca. 1944

Vom took to publishing fans' drawings of nudes, sometimes with fantastic background to excuse their appearing in a fantasy fan magazine. Ackerman, however, justified it on broader grounds: that fanzines should publish whatever fans want, and especially something like this that couldn't be published in general magazines because of silly rules. The VoMaidens are criticized mainly for lack of artistic merit; only a minority disapproved for reasons of morality.
