Comments by of the Creators

From Mike Burbick in 1978:

One thing that I did want to comment on was the incredible, well, I guess the word I'm searching in vain for is something to the tune of the unreal avalanche of commercialism in Trekdom, and the expanding of fandom (to the point that if many more fans enter, I think we'll burst at our seams!). Don't get me wrong - I'm always happy to see new fans making their ways into our "little" family, and the new talents they bring with them are fantastic. But the mail flow is really something. Ever since I had a squib in one letterzine about my Uhura/Nichelle zine, I had over 60 people writing for further info. I'm glad there are 50 many Uhura/Nichelle fans out there (I was beginning to wonder), it's just a wee bit over-whelming. If this is what it's like before we even go to press, I wonder what it will be like when the zine is actually printed? But I'm not complaining -- I enjoy making new contacts. It's just that when you go to one of the large cons and see twenty thousand people congealing and bursting for the entrance doors, you wonder if perhaps things aren't going to go to far and leave everything in a mess. Oh well. It's better to have too many than none at all. (And what other past time, not just TV or films, has generated such love and devotion on such an incredible scale?)
