From a 1992 Submission Request

Tytanima Press is currently looking for submissions of artwork, stories, poetry and news articles for two ST:TNG amateur fan magazines. LeVariations is a Canadian-American collaboration effort between the editors of "Candles of the Night" and "The Beverly File". The focus of this 'zine will be on the character of Lieutenant Commander Geordi LaForge, and on the career of the man who portrays the chief engineer: LeVar Burton. Stories, poetry and artwork will be accepted, as well as news articles about LeVar Burton. (NOTE: News articles must be accompanied by the address of the original publisher so that permission may be obtained for reprinting.)

"Betazine" will contain stories, poetry and artwork focusing on the character of Counselor Deanna Troi, and will also be open to contributions about her mother, Lwaxana Troi, and the Betazoid culture.
