The Silver Yoyo Award
The Silver Yo-Yo Awards were presented by the fanzine A Companion in Zeor for heroic actions performed on behalf of the zine. They were awarded on a per-issue basis. Some issues had multiple Yo-Yo Award recipients, while others (presumably the ones where production went especially smoothly) had none.
As the course and presentation of Sime~Gen refines itself in this multimedia world, the Silver Yo-You is also awarded for exemplary services rendered in course of publishing A Companion in Zeor in an on-line format. 2002 Mary Lou Mendum, for her lost, and found again book.
