P.J.F.?

[Erika]

Okay, now admittedly I haven't looked particularly hard, but I did look a bit. I just got a book in which, on the title page, the author's name is followed by the letters P.J.F. I've never come across it before, and have no idea what it means. Any help?

If your book is by Steven Brust (an excellent author, BTW), then it stands for Pre-Joycean Fellowship. An explanation of sorts can be found at http://www.ugcs.caltech.edu/~phoenix/brust/PJF.html

Hmm. Sounds good. Not Brust, for the record, but Jane Yolen. Still, believable. Thanks.

Yeah, she's in that list in the second paragraph. Never read any of her stuff, though; it's Brust and Zelazny that I recognize.
