the article might ought to mention some of the things Leslie Fish touches on in her <a href="http://www.prometheus-music.com/eli/fishltr.html">autobiography</a>, like breeding cats for intelligence. --Popefelix 23:41, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I've added a considerable amount of material, and I tried to be as factually correct as I could be. However, any corrections would be appreciated. My source for information regarding her relationship with Frohman is from Frohman's obituary. I have to admit that I don't have any specific information on any men she may have been involved with, so I may be mistaken regarding that [EDIT: I later decided to remove all except the reference to Frohman]. I specifically did not refer to her as either lesbian or bisexual, as I don't know what she considers herself; I suspect that she'd laugh at the whole idea of putting labels on sexuality at all. --Schol-R-LEA

Leslie would, indeed, laugh at the idea of putting labels on sexuality but I can personally attest to the fact that her interest has not been confined to either gender, pre- or post-Mary Frohman. I speak, here, as her passably observant sibling. I'm not a confidant, though, so my knowledge could be termed "out of date." Likewise, I don't want to "out" her by clarifying what she might prefer to leave unclarified. For example, nowhere do I find Leslie mentioning exactly WHERE in NJ we grew-up. She may prefer to leave some descriptions generic. I will disclose, however, that her A.B.(BA?) is in Creative Writing, from The U. of M., Ann Arbor. Her first good guitar was a wine-colored Gibson Hummingbird, purchased around 1961 and sold about 2 years after she acquired her 12-string, "Monster"-- a converted 6-string guitar with a steel resonator pan. She does BEAUTIFUL drawings of horses. And she named our first collie "Robin Adair."MFish1228 (talk) 10:34, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There's a page (not much more than a flier, really) for Fan Haven here. I'm torn between outlinking to it, and turning an edited version into a Wikipedia page; I suspect it might look too much like an ad as the latter. Any suggestions? Anansii 07:54, 24 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The flyer's certainly not a reliable source; I'd link to it, at most. FanHaven hasn't really reached notability stage yet. Heck, there's an editor in the U.K. (claims to be a fan) who feels that even Hugo-nominated fanzines don't meet notability standards! --Orange Mike 14:24, 24 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh it's reliable enough as far as it goes - Leslie Fish wrote it, and told me so in person. Agree on notability. I was just a bit iffy about adding yet another outlink to the page. Anansii 01:55, 26 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
