Science Fiction Fandom
In the 1970s and early 1980s, Wynn served on the Command Staff of Starfleet: The International Star Trek Fan Association as the Chief of Fleet Communications and as the titular editor of the Communique, created and published by Eric A. Stillwell. In 1983, he left to found another Star Trek fan organization, Trek International, a group that ultimately boasted some thirty chapters worldwide. Wynn also served as editor of that organization’s publication, The Fleet Herald, throughout his tenure with the group. Trek International survived for about six years before disbanding; many of the chapters merged into Starfleet. The Guinness Book of World Records now recognizes Starfleet as the world’s largest science fiction fan club.

Famous quotes containing the words science and/or fiction:
“For us necessity is not as of old an image without us, with whom we can do warfare; it is a magic web woven through and through us, like that magnetic system of which modern science speaks, penetrating us with a network subtler than our subtlest nerves, yet bearing in it the central forces of the world.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
“... all fiction may be autobiography, but all autobiography is of course fiction.”
—Shirley Abbott (b. 1934)
