Fannish 50 Challenge 2025: Post # 43: Help Joyce Who Has Given So Much to Fandom

You may know Joyce Hindman as LionHeart Distribution or as Requiem Publications, publisher and seller of zines and as Bast Ravenshadow's publishing partner, or you may know her for her four tables at Media West, or as the artist with the little boxes and jewelry and other fun beaded stuff in the Media West art show, or as the fic writer Sekhmet.

She is now a senior citizen (over 70), and on social security after years on disability, along with her husband who is also a senior with health problems.

This has been a particularly tough year as far as health problems and medical expenses. Her husband was hospitalized with pneumonia. She needed rotator cuff repair on her dominant arm and additionally shortly thereafter broke the humerous bone near her shoulder on the same side.

She and her husband are now trying to cope with many medical bills for surgeries and physical therapy at a cost of thousands of dollars. With fixed incomes, and looking at increases in insurance premiums, food costs, et cetera, and with her husband's part-time job offering no work for two months now, they are very uncertain about how to pay these bills.

If you can donate anything to the Hindman GoFundMe, please do so at https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-joyce-overcome-medical-expenses . If you would rather donate privately as I did and you have PayPal, you can PayPal Joyce at jersey dot lion at gmail dot com.

"Were there 3 or 4 seasons of due South?" "Yes." (with answer and proof)

So I was doing some dS research and though I haven't seen it recently, the question of "how many seasons of due South were there?" often comes up (or its variation, "were there 3 or 4 seasons of due South" - to which the answer is, "Yes" because both are true, depending which country you're talking about).

Explaining requires the Wayback Machine, but here you go for the definitive answer: it was 3 in the US and 4 in Canada (and other countries), as evidenced by this old page from William and Elyse's due South Page.

Specifically, this section here answers that question: 3 in the US, and 4 elsewhere (like the UK and Australia, in addition to Canada).

That is why the dS episode transcripts that were cribbed from the (very) old (and long defunct) Victoria's (Not So) Secret Site has the collection of transcripts bundled into one big file per season (with only three seasons). Scroll all the way to the bottom of the dS transcripts site, and you'll see the three big S1, S2, and S3 transcripts of all episode of the three individual seasons).

Gratitude to the Wayback Machine and Internet Archive for preserving fandom history. 💜
