From an Editorial
By Stanley:
Our original intention was to put out a literary-type fanzine on Spock and accompanying aspects of Vulcanism. Technically, the format stands. However, we decided that there is too much talent in this particular realm of fandom that is going unnoticed and unheralded...and that we cannot allow. Se we are opening MENAGERIE to anyone who cares to try.
Although issue is prepared, we would like material for future issues. As a matter of fact, the only probable way there will be future issues is if we receive adequate contributions. There is a format of sorts to follow. It's simple enough. l*Je put out a Vulcan publication... ergo, material must be Spockish, or at least concerning STAR TREK. Yes, we know it will return to deep space after summer re-runs, but we firmly believe that when something as great and beautiful as the STAR TREK dream exists, it cannot be put aside nor forgotten. And we intend to perpetuate the ideas and ideals and hope we'll be able to encourage other interested souls to join us. It’s very real to us, and we know it's real to some of you,
Vie will consider anything submitted from poetry to multi-page articles, fiction, serious scientific treatment of a subject, or practically anything else you can come up with. Remember, tho, that we are for all intents and practical purposes a literary-type zine, and accounts of meeting ST actors and things like that aren't really our bag. There are many other groups interested in that sort of thing...and there's only of us.
We also appreciate artwork... and we appreciate its being confined to a sheet of typewrit8r-paper size and done in india ink. Artwork of this type can be reproduced exactly as we receive it by an instant offset process we use. Of course, we can also mimeo art with the rest if you are adept to drawing on stencils, and if that is the case, please contact oneof us about it. Cartoons welcome! be have no production schedule for MENAGERIE but think it will possibly be biannual when we see how long we've taken on issue #1. But, of course, unless you help, there might not be another.
In answer to several queries, YES we plan to continue after STAR TREK is cancelled because we believe in it and also because it isn't really disappearing completely from the scene, as we've heard mention its re-runs were sold to local stations.
