Glyer has been active in LASFS , the Los Angeles Science Fantasy Society since 1970 , frequently serving as club secretary . Mike was made a fan guest of honor for the first time at the 1981 DeepSouthCon in Atlanta , partly because the con committee thought his LASFS minutes were so amusing that they had to be made up . Glyer protested that funny things were happening all round him and he just wrote them down – rather like Vincent van Gogh claiming " I just paint what I see . " Besides numerous nominations , '' File 770 '' won the Hugo Award for Best Fanzine in 1984 , 1985 , 1989 , 2000 , 2001 , 2008 , and 2016 . Glyer has also won the Hugo Award for Best Fan Writer in 1984 , 1986 , 1988 and 2016 . The 1982 World Science Fiction Convention ( Worldcon ) committee presented Glyer a special award in 1982 for " Keeping the Fan in Fanzine Publishing . " In 2008 both Mike Glyer and his wife Diana Pavlac Glyer were nominated for Hugo Awards : '' File 770 '' for Best Fanzine and '' The Company They Keep : C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien as Writers in Community '' for Best Related Book
