Doris Beetem the Younger is one of the early Star Trek fanzine era fans who both published and contributed to fanzines.
She began writing fanfiction at the age of 16.

She was one of the founding members of DASFA (Denver Area Science Fiction Association), along with her mom, Doris Beetem (The Elder Godhess), and her younger sister, Rose.[1][2]
Dee was also president (as of 1998) of the fan club Several Unlimited. [3]
Short Auto Bio
From her profile at Fanfiction.net:
Age: Older than Pippin, younger than Aragorn.
Female.
I've actually written fan fiction for quite a while, publishing my earlier stories on dead trees. (Yes, people DID publish fan fiction before the Internet!) I believe that experience can improve your writing but it's no guarantee. I've written in Star Trek (classic), Blake's 7, Robin of Sherwood, Real Ghostbusters and have done a lot of crossovers, some rather strange. Alas, none of these stories have been posted on FF.net--yet.
I like a lot of anime but I doubt that I'll write any fic related to it. Rurouni Kenhin and Fullmetal Alchemist, however, are awesome! Travel a lot, like cats.
Still seeing interest in my 'Misfit' stories. I think I still have one more Middle-earth story. This one has no 'girl who falls into' though. Just canon characters--and a few extra dwarves. [4]
