Enligt vissa historiker började "con" användas som förkortning för fanniska
kongresser 1942. Hittade detta på engelska wiki, artikeln Fan convention:
"A fan convention, or con (term antedates 1942[1]), is an event in which fans
of a particular film, television series, comic book, actor, or an entire genre
of entertainment such as science fiction or anime and manga, gather to
participate and hold programs and other events, and to meet experts, famous
personalities, and each other. Some also incorporate commercial activity.
Fan conventions are traditionally organized by fans on a not-for-profit basis,
though some events catering to fans are run by commercial interests for profit.
Many conventions have award presentations relating to their genre (such as the
Hugo Awards which have been presented at The World Science Fiction Convention
(WorldCon) since 1953)."

Alltså ingen oginhet mot sf-fandoms håll. Som källa för årtalet 1942 anges
