Dear Attila

I am "Daneel", one of the moderators of Grupo Asimov.

I am afraid I cannot help you to find either Q. Cruz or Clinton Tomas,
sorry! It's the first time I hear about them.. The only one of your list
I know is Wendell Urth, who is a distinguished member of this Group so he
will read your message sooner or later and answer back himself, I hope.

If you still write to Robyn Asimov, please let her know that there's a
group of fans of his father's work in Spanish language, and give her
regards on our behalf.

Good luck on your quest

Best regards

Daneel

[Grupoasimov] looking for Q. Cruz and Clinton Thomas






Dear Friends,

Please forgive me for disturbing you and for not speaking Spanish. I
am writing to you because I did not find any other functional Asimov
list. My name is Attila Torkos. I am also a fan of the late Asimov. I
am the one who compiled a detailed timeline to his Robot-Empire-
Foundation Universe which was published in David Brin's
Foundation's Triumph and Mark Tiedemann's Aurora.

I am desperately trying to contact two persons, both of whom have
written Asimovian fanfiction.

One is Q. Cruz, the person who began writing "Foundation's End".
About 2 months ago I was actually able to write to him using the
email address presented on the Beyond Asimov page
(procounsul@...) and he wrote back, offering to send me a 200-
page-long working copy of his novella and asking for my mail address.
He never got my reply with my address, though, as my email (and my
later tries, too) came back as undeliverable. Hotmail says his
account ceased. I am unable to reach him. Since then I tried to
track him, but I don't even know his full name so I ran into a dead
end.

The other person is Clinton Thomas from Manchester, England. I found
his message in the old Asimov discussion group
(groups.yahoo.com/group/galactica)
while I was trying to track down Q. Cruz. In his message to the
discussion group Clinton Thomas wrote that he nearly finished writing
a 1000-pages-long (!) fan novel entitled "The Solarian". Of course,
his email presented on the discussion group is also out of date.

I know from my correspondence with Robyn Joan (daughter of Asimov)
and the Asimov Estate that there will be no further Foundation
sequels written, so all we fans have for a conclusion of the Robot-
Empire-Foundation saga is the works of fans. This is why I am so
desperate to find the mentioned two guys.

I would like to ask you if anyone knows Q. Cruz's or Clinton Thomas's
new email address, ordinary mail address, telephone number, messenger
ID or any other contact information. Or does anyone have the fan
writings of these two people?

Please please someone help me. If you do not know the answer to any
of my questions, you might still help me by telling me the actual,
working contact info of some other Asimov fans who participated
either in the discussion list or in publishing Asimovian fanfiction:

Mike Carlin
Deb Reed
Alfonso Mantero
Guido Nunez
Harald Muecke
Gary Conkle
David Cross
Alexander j. Vincent
David Pinkston
Greg Toland
Wendell Urth
Wei-Hwa Huang
R. Jay
Stan Pope

Thank you so much for reading my long letter. I am looking forward to
receiving your reply.

Attila
