A Plain Day is a gen Starsky & Hutch zine by Tabby Davis with very few issues. It appears as though it was more of a pass around zine.
From the creator:
So I'm not alone in believing that it is possible to write convincing SH without trauma getting in the way.' There's plenty of writing to support that belief—for example, in one of my favourite stories, 'Shared Sunday', the first story in the first of the SHarecon ('Wanna Share?') zines. I enjoy reading about the times free from the fast-moving, action-packed scenarios. In fact, the first SH anthology I put together (it's a dozen years ago...) was called 'A Plain Day', for that reason. I wish there could also have been such episodes. Vain hope - they would never have fitted the formula. I don't, of course, mean that I reject trauma' as an important ingredient in fan-writing ...just saying it's possible to disregard or minimise it, yet still to write satisfying SH.[1]
From the creator:
I'm sorry—no, I have no spare copies of 'A Plain Day.' It's a while ago and it was never a published zine with a large print-run. It was done when I was very new to fandom. I'm not sure I'd even heard the word, 'fanzine', in those days. I lacked the knowledge, the facilities, not to mention the leisure time, to print or publish anything in the context of fandom. APD is an anthology of SH words and pictures; some of the stories have been published since. I took a copy to California in 1980. As far as I know, it's there still. And there's one here.[2]
