Talk:The Best of Unsolicited Testimony

I tried to decide which First Light zine to link to for a correct connection, and it seems to be neigher of the two mentioned on the disambiguation there. Is the First Light mentioned here a third First Light? The multimedia First Light is described as fanfic, and the TOS First Light is a novel, so neither seems to be this meta/newsletter thing?--Ratcreature 22:09, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

ETA: Also, is there a reason why this is called "The Best of Unsolicited Testimony" when it collects stuff from First Light rather than from some zine called "Unsolicited Testimony"?--Ratcreature 22:11, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

I have no idea, just have this "The Best of Unsolicited Testimony ($3) Collected humorous and serious essays on the ups and downs of Trek fandom, by Anna C. Bowling; reprinted from the First Light newsletter." [1] Mrs. Potato Head 22:49, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

As on the same page there is First Light en Masse listed, maybe it means that First Light? except that looks like fanfic too. hm. Their page for First Light en Masse says that is an annual zine, presumably their fanfic zine, and only titled that way b/c of the press name. Okay, looking through the WBM site, it seems that "First Light" existed as a monthly webzine [2], at least since issue #71. maybe before it was print zine. In any case, that seems to be articles. Checking out the TOC of issue #71 [3], that has a column titled "Unsolicited Testimony". That explains the title of this zine. It collects Unsolicited Testimony columns from the zine called First Light.--Ratcreature 23:55, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
