EDITORIAL EMANATIONS

by Virginia

Putting two issues together at the same time as I have done with Nos. 78 and 79, due to being away so long this fall, leaves me without much special material for a second Ed. Eman. so close to the one previously.

Let me just make it informal, therefore, and remind you of several things that have been mentioned before. First off, for the last several issues I have appealed to you for material. I have several medium and longer fiction articles and one personal history on hand for the next issue No. 80, but no commentaries, articles, good letters, book reviews, poems etc. If I run out of material TVia will just fold. While there are other TV publications to turn to, TVia is the only FP publication of long standing and good reputation. If it goes, where will you turn? The distinction between a TV publication and an FP one is that the former appeals to all varieties of cross dressers while the latter is exclusively concerned with the hetero-cross dresser. So, since it is your magazine, support it. But please send in your material typed — get someone to do it for you if you don't type. The typographer refuses to try to decipher hand written stories.

Next, and I've mentioned this many times, many of you would like back issues to complete or fill out your sets. Due to our policy of buy- ing back issues no longer in stock, we have accumulated from one to six or seven copies of a lot of the issues long out of print. If you want them please inquire — $6 per issue.

You will be getting this issue about the middle of November. That means that No. 80 should appear around January 15. Since I do not return from Europe till December 1 and will have a great accumulation of problems to take care of, I may be delayed getting it out, so please be understanding if you don't get it as soon as you would like.

I really hope that some of the better heeled among you will come through with some donations toward the research work that I have out- lined in the Virgin Views column of this issue. More of our sisters go down the TS track each year and in most cases unnecessarily. Perhaps better information from those who preceded them would help to turn them away from this pseudo solution to their lives problems.
