Reactions and Reviews: Issue 1
'Stardaze' was intended to showcase new writers and artists. The over-priced, sorry result, however, leaves one feeling that the 'talent' involved had been better off unknown. The fiction is generally silly. 'Merry Men of Nalgene III' pits the Big E against Robin Hood and company. The fact that Robin Hood and her (you read that right) gang are transplanted Vulcans makes this piece even more hard to swallow. To confuse matters more, Robin and Kirk make merry and a baby... 'The Visit' describes, in tear-jerker fashion, a brief encounter between Kirk and a recently-blinded Spock. In 'Never Underestimate a Woman,' Uhura and Chapel break a 'white (and green and blue) slave ring.' In 'I Feel the Earth Move Under My Feet,' after saving Chekov's life, the heroine promptly dies by falling off a cliff. 'Geanitch' is ridiculous, 'Moira' forgettable, while 'The Bond' is an unoriginal 'Spock and Christine are bonded' tale. The zine also presents trite-and-true poetry, and one parody. The artwork, except for two Gordon Carleton cartoons, is execrable. 'Stardaze' suffers from inept editing and bad printing -- use both sides of the paper, Jeanne!. Contrived, stale, unbelievable plots, and poor writing and drawing abiliteis are other pitfalls. A dictionary would help, too. For the money [$6.45], this zine isn't worth it. [1]
