Reactions and Reviews: Issue 1

For the most part, this zine is a showcase for the editors' own work.

Jean Timberman has written a story reminiscent of the aired episode "Naked Time" and another which brought "The Enterprise Incident" to mind. Jean also wrote a poem with Kirk's thoughts as he hands the Enterprise over to his successor.

Trudy Burke wrote two stories featuring a Lieutenant Colleen MacDowell who has a romantic interest in Scotty which is not reciprocated. She is fighting an unwarranted reputation for promiscuity which isn't helping things one bit.

The illustrations are by Joy Myers. There is humor in the form of unlikely dialog called "Space Capsules" and a letter of incredible Enterprise gossip.

I don’t know how much it costs because I got a contrib copy. They reprinted a story that appeared in the ’blight (our zine, Sublight Reading 1) last summer. I do know they printed offset, which usually tends to drive up prices. Teri, the editor, is a very nice lady, and the writing is fairly good, but the characters and situations are basically ’early wish fulfilment’ (Mary Sue’s) and the plots need both firming up and fleshing out. I feel there is some potential here, because there are sparks of life even in the cliched story and heroine. What it all depends on is how hard Teri will work to improve, which of course goes for everything in life, doesn’t it? For all of us.

Issue 2

Ship to Shore v.1 n.2 is all Star Trek material. It was published in August 1979 (reprinted in 1980) and contains 58 pages. This issue was edited by Trudy Burke, Jean Timberman (production editors), and Virgil Burke (poetry editor).

The art is by Mike Cole, Joy Myers, John Cizar, Lois Hanson, and Mirah d'Shannon.

The editor says this issue is several months late due to several reasons: having her young kids come to stay with her for a visit, a recalcitrant (bright red!) typewriter that had been in the shop for cleaning and a tune-up and came back with a wonky ribbon problem, and trouble getting contributions.

Reactions and Reviews: Issue 2

For those into sadism, I heartily recommend "My Life to Give" by Verna Mae Long in Ship to Shore II. In it Kirk is bound, stripped, and tortured in about every way you can think of. By the time he was exposed to a sandstorm and had all his flesh eaten away, I had to laugh. My sense of horror had long since died of exhaustion.

"A Matter of Life and Death" by Suna Mura suffered from one glaring gap in logic. If the queen could come back from the dead, commandeer Christine Chapel's body, and kill the oppressor of her people, what is to keep Osiris from returning from the dead too?

Ship to Shore II also has comics by John Cizar, puzzles by Pat Grant, poems by Doreen Brown, and a short comedy piece by me [Carol Christensen].
