Sternenkristall is a zine of Original Fiction (fantasy) and non-fiction articles (translations of articles written by Marion Zimmer Bradley about her works). It appears to have contained Darkover fiction until 1992.[1]
This zine was published with MZB's permission.
"Sternenkristall" was published by Freunde von Darkover, and has a sister zine, the newsletter called Relay.
Translated text for Sternenkristall:
These older fanzines contain original fantasy stories because of the huge problems MZB had with an American fan over copyrights. As a result she banned all Darkover fans from publishing their own Darkover stories! Nevertheless, these fanzines still contain very interesting fantasy stories that are well worth reading! [2]
