Beyond is a zine of "original fan fiction." After getting several "straight" science fiction submissions that didn't fit well in her other zines (focused on Star Trek, media, westerns, and Darkover), so she created a zine specifically for a wider variety of science fiction submissions. Published through at least issue #16 in 1989 (and still accepting subscriptions then).

Issue 1

Beyond 1 was published in 1985 and contains 40 pages. The art is by Rudi Bass (front cover), Gennie Summers, Mark Bell, Bob Eggleton, Shirley Winston, Gary Weissman, Jackie Pratt, Marion Weinstein.
