SCIENCE CORRESPONDENCE CLUB, one of the activists of which was Raymond Palmer (the future editor of Amazing Stories magazine) was considered the most famous of these groups.
In 1934, Hugo GuernSebek invited the readers of his magazine "Wonder Stories" to unite in the Science Fiction League League. The organization was thought of simply as a group of magazine support, but it quickly turned the initial narrow frames and became the center of crystallization of the so-called first fandome.
