OverSubspace is a multi-fandom newsletter. It has the subtitle: "It's just a newsletter."

There may have been only a single issue published.

The editor wrote in the first issue:

First off. let me make it clear that OverSubspace Is not In any way associated with the Star Trek Association of the National Capital Region (STANCR) or it's newsletter, NotOverSubspace.

Yes. It's true that I am the former Editor of NotOverSubspace, but that's another matter (and will not be discussed in this forum). After I published my last official issue of NotOverSubspace. I still had some information coming in and that led to the "Lost Issue" of NotOverSubspace in August. (For those that did not see it, it was in color and was a very limited edition.

[snipped]

Let me say one last thing about NotOverSubspace, and that is that I wish the new Editor lots of luck and I'm sure they can do as good a job or better than I did. All members of STANCR should contribute at least one item to the newsletter in the coming year, because relying on one person to come up with all that material each month is unrealistic. I will say that while I miss some aspects of the job, I don't miss the deadlines and hassles associated with the job. In retrospect, it's a good thing I did step down, since I no longer really have the time it takes to put out an issue of NotOverSubspace each month.

I have no idea If there will ever be another issue of OverSubspace, this does serve to wrap up some loose ends. (Okay, so I only wanted a vehicle to distribute the latest Ultraman info....)
