From an Editorial
From the editorial from issue #2:A zine for the new fan, featuring reprints of out of print (or hard to get) stories, and showcases for new writers and artists. As before, my thanks to the authors, artists, and editors who allowed their work to be reprinted here, and to those who submitted new 'early' stories... As before, I am acutely aware of the deficiencies of the zine. As I said (and will probably keep saying), after years of frustration as a fan, I tend as a fan editor to be more invested in bringing out a zine out reasonably close to schedule than in waiting for problems, such as my schedule, to clear. I sincerely regret the loss of quality this sometimes entails, but there it is.

Reactions and Reviews: Issue 2
[zine]: Eight good stories, five of them reprinted, three new ones. "Alternative Intrepid Incident' was very well-written. Kirk wonders how Spock can actually feel the deaths of those aboard the Intrepid and Spock agrees to let him experience it just briefly through a mind meld. He starts with the death of an insect and an animal. 'Paternity Order' is one I enjoyed for its sense of humor. There's a baby born on the Enterprise and it's got pointed ears! There's a good Sulu story called 'The Hunter and the Hunted' and a nice short McCoy and Spock story called 'Last Tag.' The zine is well-illustrated by Connie Faddis, Susan Ceci, Carrie Rowles, and Sharon L. Parkos. Recommended. [2]
