ASP

from Fancyclopedia 2

Associated Slan Press -- the BNFs of Midwestern fandom during World War II. Tucker and the Ashleys were the most important members of this publishing house. Tucker says that membership was by invitation only, with members required to keep up to the standards of the organization. In the emblem the ASP isn't a giant thing crawling around a hill with a pyramid on it. (Cleopatra's.)
