General Zine Description
From the publisher:First Time Stories. Self explanatory, I hope. IE: Where Kirk and Spock first find out that they feel that way about each other. Remember that doesn't necessarily mean that there's sex involved. Love is love after all. Happy endings are a must. Hate, blood and mayhem all the way through. Fine, but a happy ending is a must!. That's what all these zines were started for in the first place.
And:
A K/S zine devoted to the love between Kirk and Spock. Very sexy, very explicit and then, maybe not. What's important is for the readers to see the 'first time' Kirk and Spock realize that they feel 'that way' about each other. There may be explicit (yeah!) sex involved or not. But rest assured there will be love. Stories will encompass from their childhood through Starfleet Academy to beyond the movies. Anything our writers can imagine.
Different Editions and the Front Covers
The zine publisher is known for removing the fan art from their zines, including the covers, after a certain period. These 'bare' zines are often referred to as "second editions" or "third editions."
