The Yeti's Footprint is a 30-page gen anthology of stories created for a fiction challenge which was announced in STAG #15 in December 1975. The writing competition required stories written around zine's title.

From STAG #16, the issue that announced (but did not print) any of the entries:

... ten entries from nine members; Sue Bradley, Alison Glover, Robin Hill, Chris Jones, Valerie McLean, Rosa Moore, Elizabeth Sharp, Gail Smith and. Helen Sneddon. Judging proved rather difficult; the over-all standard was high. Eventually I passed the final decision over to a wholly impartial judge - my mother, who, while she does watch, is in no way a fan. As it happened, her choice for first and second places coincided with mine.

The winner is Elizabeth Sharp - and I just wish I could write half as well as she does. Running Elizabeth a very close second is Helen Sneddon, with Robin Hill and Valerie McLean tying for third place. I hope to print all four of these stories eventually.

To the unlucky ones - especially to those who said it was their first effort at writing - I'd like to say, don't give up. Your stories were all good - and maybe next time...

In the end, five of the stories were included in the print zine.
