Millennium is a gen Star Trek: TOS anthology published by the Michigan State University Star Trek Club.
It was the first zine published by the club after the departure of Warped Space.
Issue 1
Millennium 1 was published in March 1977 and contains 70 pages.
The art is by Marty Siegrist (one small illo was reprinted from Warped Space #17), Susan Armstrong, Kathi Higley, Gee Moaven, and Pat Wood.
An ad in Scuttlebutt #1 says "contains part of the 'Diamonds and Rust' series."
From the editorial:
As if the U.S. Post Office did not already dislike us, the M.S.U.S.T.C. is once again putting out its own fanzine.
Millennium will be a general interest Star Trek fanzine and should be published about three times a year. It will be a little different than most fanzines though, in that we plan on having different members of the club edit each issue as well as handle all of the other things that go into putting a fanzine out. In order to keep some continuity to the 'zine we will have a sort of executive editor to keep things going from one issue to the next.
To avoid the confusion that could result from a policy like this we are asking that all submissions be sent to Millennium in care of the club so that whoever is working on it at the time can get it directly. if it is something that concerns a specific issue, such as something promised directly to the editor it should be sent to that editor in care of the club.
All orders or problems concerning orders should also be sent directly to Millennium again in care of the club as I will continue to be the one mailing them out and keeping track of the records. That is if the P.O. does not decide that they can no longer stand me camping out in front of their window in the Student Union every day, waiting to buy more stamps than what they have. Your average M.S.U. student does not whip in every other day or so and buy out their whole reserve of stamps. Oh, well how else can the P.O. keep their set of 'zines up to date, but by our sending them out to be lost enroute. I am now thoroughly convinced that every P.O. around has a complete set of everything that we have ever sent out.
Actually the people working at the Union P.O. are the most understanding and helpful postal type people that we have ever worked with, which does help."
Getting back to the matter at hand Second Millennium will be out around the first of June and is being edited by Ingrid
Cross.

No one would take any of this seriously but another fan, and even then there would be a lot of doubt about my sanity.'" This is an example of the trope, fan on the Enterprise.) (20)

Reactions and Reviews: Issue 1
There is absolutely nothing memorable in this first issue by the Club since Warped Space pulled out, save for the Diamonds & Rust chapter, Undone by Cheryl Rice. The other material can't begin to come up to it, some even more suitable for a free club zine. In art, Gee Moaven, Marty Siegrist, and new artist Pat Wood stand out among other drawings that just miss looking like the characters they were aimed for. Poetry is fair. Good cover drawing, well bound, secure, adequate layout, easy to read. A promising future. [1]
Issue 2
Millennium 2 (aka "Second Millennium") was published in August 1977 and contains 70 pages.
The art is by Marty Siegrist, Pat Thompson, Joni Wagner, and Kim Blekis.
The editorial:
Greetings and salutations I And welcome to SECOND MILLENNIUM! It is my pleasure to help bring to you fiction by fans who are lesser known, as well as those who have shaped the quality of fiction for a while now. For example, we have humorous pieces by Susan Ste phenson, Winston Howlett and Paul Kirby, and Jeff Sanderson and Tim Quinn. And to provide the perfect counterbalance, we have fiction on the more serious side by Diane McClaugherty, Rusty Hancock and Elizabeth Carrie. And to round it all out, we have some poetic efforts from Tony Cardinal, David Lubkin and Erin St. John. And for artwork? Some from Marty Siegrist, Joni Wagner and Pat Thompson.
One final word, and then I'll clear out to let Tina talk for a while. I'd like to thank Marty for helping in a major way (bailing me out is more like it!) and Tina for her patience (Okay, okay! You can stop carrying that swagger stick around!).
I personally hope that you enjoy this issue of the Michigan State University Star Trek Club's fanzine, SECOND MILLENNIUM.
Peace and long life.
