- 1952, Marion Zimmer Bradley, "Letter to a Neo-Fan", SF, Issue 4, December 1952, page 23:
- Bob Elston’s letter to me came as a reply to a letter printed in THRILLING WONDER STORIES, wherein I deplored that no newcomers to the field of science fiction could be bothered with writing to the Old Guard of BNFdom.
- 1953, Dave Ish, letter of comment, Hyphen, Issue 5, November 1953, page 14-19:
- There are too many fans that can't take it easy, but have to put out top drawer stuff and bootstrap themselves to BNFdom, instead of doing it graciously and quietly as Hoffman did.
- 1971, Terry Carr, letter of comment, Energumen, Issue 8, June 1971, page 45:
- The Willis article reprinted with it is first-rate stuff, and I think your remark in your editorial that you noticed "some anguish and perhaps even a hint of bitterness" in Walt's detailing of the trials of BNFdom is a good observation.
- 1975, Rob Jackson, "Ghucelphalus", Maya, Issue 7, page 4:
- Possibly it's just the natural ageing process making them decide to retire quietly to tired-old-BNFdom, but I doubt it.
- 1994, Ted White, "The Politics Of Fandom", The Ted White Sampler, Volume One (ed. Arnie Katz), page 30:
- BNFdom isn't a private club. It’s not something you pay your money and join, not something those already BNFs can blackball you from.
