Description from a Flyer
From a flyer printed in a 1993 issue of Power Star:
Some of the finest writers in Trek fandom have never been published -- until now!Join the talented neo-authors -- and a couple of experienced writers, too -- of Starfleet's U.S.S. Potemkin Writers' Workshop as they make their mark on fan fiction with the Workshop's first-ever fanzine, Personal Voyages. This all-original collection of Classic and Next Gen stories will make you laugh, make you cry -- and make you wonder where the heck some of these gifted authors have been hiding all these years!

Some adult language, no age statement required.

- Back from the Knife's Edge by Brenda Shaffer (this may have been re-titled "Rage Against the Dying of the Light") ("Driven by a private pain, Lt. Jean-Luc Picard provokes a deadly fight on Starbase Earhart, leaving his friend Jack Crusher to pull him 'Back from the Knife's Edge.'")
- Sarek's Passing by Betty Dain (this may have been re-titled "A Mother's Love") ("'Sarek's Passing' forces Spock to come to germs with his father's feelings for him, and his own for Sarek.")
