  • Editorial
  • No, Really, Captain, I Can Explain What Happened to the Drinks Dispenser..., fiction and art ("The drawings, by the way, were done on a light-box, a souped-up method of tracing.") (1)
  • The Wrath of Kirk or The Captain Strikes Back (12)
  • The Federation Football Game (filk) (34) ("The tune to the "Federation Football Game" is the Lancashire folk song "The Rawtenstall Annual Fair". For those beings born south of the Trent (the river..., I've put the music in.) If you can't make out the music, then slip me a pint at a Con, and I'll be happy to sing it for you.")
  • Paperchase ("The horse in 'Paperchase' is one of my favourite characters in fan-fiction. I came across that horse years ago in an American fanzine. The author, with an almost Yorkshire-like determination to to get what she wanted, liked horses. She also liked "Star Trek". So, by a process of logic that would have commended itself to Mr. Spock, she had horses on the "Enterprise". Simple when you know how." The story mentioned is The Second Gift.) (37)
