letterhack
Where it comes from
From letter + hack.
noun letterhacks
-
A fan who is a prolific writer of letters to periodicals.
Nowadays a letter-hack says things simply, which is, after all, the best way. Take any good story. You don't find long, stilted sentences with long-winded descriptions (which was one reason I put ‘The Dimension of Chance’ last). So listen and learn, letter-hacks.

verb letterhacks · letterhacking · letterhacked
- To write letters to periodicals very frequently. It was in those letter columns that I was first exposed to the concept of fandom. Letterhacking was in high bloom in 1951; the letter columns were filled with chatty letters from all sorts of people, the names of whom I soon came to recognize.
