Still decluttering : comments [A Bug's Life]

I have a theory that you should box things up, label the box, and keep an index. Then put them in the loft (or basement) in the knowledge that if you need something in them you can easily find it.

6 months or a year later - be ruthless. What did you really miss?

Piker! Try "thirty years later...", rather than a mere six months or a year. Mind you, it's kinda interesting to look at & handle things after that long an interval, but... yeah, not often worth the investment.

(Okay, I suppose some much-ballyhooed Artist could frame a collection of, say, #3 Phillips screwdrivers, acquired over the decades when the older ones couldn't be located, and some of us would -- after wincing -- be mildly amused, but....)

Fanzines will be difficult. I have 7' of them, which I do hope one day to read and loc, but this seems increasingly unlikely. They were gifts, and I want to treasure them, but there are just so many. Perhaps it's time to wipe the slate of my perceived loccing obligations, and start fresh.

What does loc mean?

"Letter of Comment" - part of "The Usual" mechanism.

I used to do a lot of reading and writing fanzines, and loccing, back in the day. Leafing through the old fanzines (7 boxes! Stuck on a high shelf rather than decluttered, for now) it all comes back to me and the urge stirs to pub my ish.
