Corflu
Corflu is a science fiction fanzine convention held each spring in North America. It is named after a slang term for the "correction fluid" used in mimeograph printing, a common way to produce fanzines before the arrival of low-cost photocopying and online fanzines. Each Corflu is organized by a different regional group, selected at the previous year's gathering. Previous Corflus have been held at:

Corflu is a small, informal convention with a single track of programming. Corflu's traditions include choosing the Guest of Honor randomly from the attendees and electing past presidents of the Fan Writers of America. The Fan Activity Achievement Awards are presented annually at Corflu, and since 2010 a Lifetime Achievement Award has also been presented.
