Warped Space is a multimedia zine with Star Wars content in issues 28-52. It contained stories by multiple authors, had black and white covers, and interior illustrations by various fan artists. It ran around fifty-two issues. The fanzine was originally sponsored by the Michigan State University Star Trek Club. Starting with issue #21 it was published independently appeared under Lori (and her husband Gordon's) own imprint, T'Kuhtian Press. Reprint rights to issues #1-21 remained with the University Club. Boldly Writing, pg. 33.

In October 1976, Shelter by Leslie Fish came out in Warped Space 20. Shelter was the first true first time slash story in fandom. (It was also the first cave story -- a genre that has receded in importance now, but was once very popular: if nothing else works, strand them on a planet with a nearby cosy cave, and everything will work out fine.)
