Christine Myers was a prolific fan artist.

Myers' main fandom was Star Trek: TOS, but her art included other Treks as well as occasional smaller fandoms.

While Myers' art was mostly printed in zines without a strong sexual focus (aside from a few in First Time) and were never sexually explicit, fans of Kirk/Spock enjoyed her portrayals of the intimate relationship between Kirk and Spock.

Fans in the Kirk/Spock community tended to treat some of their artists very well in respect to detailed comments and appreciation. The letterzines Come Together, The LOC Connection, andThe K/S Press are filled with comments about fanart. Because Myers' work is mainly gen and het, it means that, despite long-running participation and extensive artwork that portrayed a loving Kirk and Spock, fan comments about Myers' work is a bit thin on the ground.

Myers' first published art was in Saurian Brandy Digest.

NOTE: there is a K/S artist who contributed to First Time named C. Meyers. This is not the same person as Christine Myers.
