Pavane is a slash Star Trek: TOS anthology fanzine published in the UK by Chris Isher.
It required an age statement to purchase.
Issue 1
Pavane 1 was published in November 1988 and is 110 pages long.
It contains three illos. Two of them are by Sue Humphries. One is a page that includes a photocopy of a Gayle F illustration.
The pagination is confusing; some stories have page numbers, and others do not. This is because it appears that each author typed up their own contribution and the editor compiled them.
The zine originally contained "a packet" that had a letter of comment form, information about a raffle regarding the Gayle F illo, and Sue Humphries' story, The Passage of Time. Some issues may now be missing this packet.
From the editorial:
Welcome to the first issue of a new British K/S zine. The name has been chosen on 3 counts.
1) My dictionary defines the word Pavane as " a slow stately dance for couples" (which seemed highly appropriate);
2)It therefore allows me the chance to pay tribute, by way of continuing the musical terminology, to both Voice and Star Trek: TOS zine)|Duet;
3)It was the title of the very first fantasy-style SF novel I read - P'avane' by Keith Roberts - and from which I've taken the spelling, as there are several other forms e.g. pavan, paven, pavin!
Pretty neat?!
Now, British K/S -- definitely, but one feature it is hoped to include in any future issues will be overseas guest contributors. In Issue One these are Elke from Germany with 2 delightful short stories, and Gayle from the U.S.A. (see Raffle details). My thanks go to both of them, and of course to all the home-based authors who responded so magnificently to the call for stories.
The chosen Charities are the World Wildlife Fund's Whale Project (which I feel very strongly about, and I was Greenpeacing over a decade ago!) and London Lighthouse - the AIDS hospice. The raffle especially is for charity, so please buy 'loadsatickets'.
The Enclosures pack. Together with the Raffle sheet, you will find a Letters-of-Comment form. Besides helping me, as a Brand New Editor, to provide more of what you really want in Issue Two, the authors are very keen to have LOC's on their work. So please complete this form as and when you can - let us know your opinions.
The last item in this pack is a Sue Humphries story "Passage of Time". Her introductory comment speaks for itself,but here is the editorial Health Warning, for any of you out there who are devoted WS fans. Don't read it, if you are prone to sense-of-humour failures!!
Hope you enjoy the first PAVANE.

Elke heard on German radio that the Los Angeles Police Dept. had produced a series of photos of members of the force to allay mistrust and apprehension felt by the general public.As she says,how can you resist such a story,and she thinks it's probably just as well it was never done while Starsky & Hutch were on the air!")

However, I also share his conviction that it is corruptible, and I think that our choice in this matter, which I've tried to dramatize in this story, is vitally important, is, in fact, the human adventure.")
