The Fellowship was created to honor those people who have made a significant contribution to NESFA® and to the furtherance of its aims. The Fellowship is modeled after academic fellowships and Fellows are awarded the privilege of the postnominal abbreviation FN. New Fellows are installed at an annual banquet each fall. The date after each name shows the year of election; if no date is given, the year is 1976, when the Fellowship was established. † signifies that a Fellow has died.
The original proposal was to call this the Order of the Spaceship and Sun after the imperial insignia in the Foundation series. Approval was obtained from Isaac Asimov for this, but in the end it was decided that Fellowship of NESFA was more appropriate for our aims.
The new Fellows are elected each Fall and announced at the Fellowship Banquet held in November at various restaurants around the area. If the new Fellow cannot attend, they are taken out to dinner at the next Boskone or Worldcon which they do attend. Each fellow receives a Certificate of Fellowship suitable for framing, etc.
The Fellows are listed by year of creation; there is also an alphabetical list.
