The Out of Bounds series of zines were written and published by a close-knit group of fans (mostly Kirkies) in the early 1980s (the first one or two were done before they all moved to Houston -- by the end, they were mostly all Houston area fans) who went on to run IDICon.
Fannish lore says that Pam Rose took out a $400 loan from her credit union for the first issue of Out of Bounds when preorders didn't cover the printing bill.
A review of the first issue:- The very first story of the first zine (title? Spock goes back in time to make Kirk have him as his first lover and fucks up their whole universe) has stayed with me for years. The format had a lot in common with Manacles/Oblique zines: little or no art, no poetry, high quality printing. It was before easy two-column printing had hit most of us, but there was very little waste. The series was helped by the huge quantity of Pam Rose stories; she has been good for a long time! Her Out of Bounds, Old Friend is one of the first novels I gave someone who "just doesn't believe the premise" for a long time. Lots of other good stories too, and just (if not *more*) important, not many bad stories.[1]
Out of Bounds was the slash zine on the table when some of the Houston crowd were banned in Tulsa (i.e., asked to leave a con with professional guests because a publicity agent for Disney made a huge fuss about slash zines in the dealer's room. The con committee felt terrible about it, and refunded their table fee).
