Rusty Hancock was a writer, filker, and fan club director.

From Who's Who in Star Trek Fandom (1977):

About all I did was write a lot of turgid and terrible lay Spock stories and circulate them long before that became a national past time.

Rusty got into fandom in 1967 when she joined the LNNAF (as it was then called), found penpals, made connections with the Vulcan Consulate, Spock Underground, got a set of original Spockanalias, etc. Rusty has belonged to the Vulcan Consulate, STAR Indiana, STAR Central for a time, LNAF, Spock Underground, Spock's Scribes and the George Takei and Grace Lee Whitney Fan Clubs trade with hers.

Rusty is the director of the Mariette Hartley Fan Network, and publishes its club journal, Hartlines, 3 times a year. For writing she says, "about all I did was write a lot of turgid and terrible lay Spock stories and circulate them long before that became a national pastime." She also had a Spockanalia story published as "Laura Harris," and a poem under her own name. One story, "Ghosts," was published in Pastaklan Vesla. Rusty also enjoys writing (mostly expository prose), photographic dabbling, and reading varieties of speculative fiction. She also attends local cons.
