cover of the combined issue

Gorilla Warfare is a Garrison's Gorillas anthology issued in two versions, gen and slash.

At least one version was a combined issue of gen and slash.

Under the Table

When slash fanzines began to be produced in the 1990s, many fans were cautious about sharing them, even though slash fan fiction had been circulating for decades and the fears often found in early fandoms such as Star Trek and Starsky & Hutch had eased. As one fan remembers:

For example, there were two versions of a particular Garrison's Gorillas 'zine published. One was gen (which back then was both gen/het with a heavy dose of smarm), and the other version substituted stories or just added the slash scenes to the smarm. If you wanted the slash version, you had to know someone who knew that you were "safe" before it would be offered to you under the table. [1]

Gorilla Warfare Short Version (100 pgs) It is gen and includes analysis of the series and characters together with series-based action/adventure fiction by Ina McAllan and Lillian Shepherd.
