Not Even Related is an "un-zine," a guide for the neophyte zine editor. It was published as a sort of sister zine to Details at 11.
From Details at 11 #9: "It's funny (we think so), so order it for a laugh and for some important pointers. Since DEA #10 will be a summer issue and people don't have much to say during rerun season, I plan to include some humorous addendum to Not Even Related II, so if you haven't read NER II, you won't understand much of DAE #10. Blackmail, get it!"
While this fanwork has a title that suggests it is the second issue, it is unlikely there is a prior publication.
