Tasmeen is a gen Star Trek: TOS anthology by Simone Mason. It is a British fanzine and has at least seven issues.
Regarding the title: Tasmeen is the name of a Vulcan month in the animated episode, "Yesterday."
From the dedication in the first issue:
This zine is dedicated to Captain James T. Kirk of the USS Enterprise and to his First Officer, Commander Spock. May they live for ever.
Issue 1
Tasmeen 1 was published in April 1981 and is 64 pages long.
From the editorial:
Welcome,
May you enjoy sharing the adventures of Kirk and Spock with me in this zine. Hopefully, issue no.1 won't be a freak occurrence.
I wish to thank Doreen Dabinett for her encouragement to produce my own stories. I suspect she wanted me to find out what a cushy job I had when I was only writing them without the hard work of production. I also wish to thank Lesley Smith for her lovely drawing of Kirk and Spock on the cover end other illos, and Linda Brough for stepping in at the last minute with her drawings.
My thanks also to Ann Smith for her lovely poems.
Above all I wish to thank my husband Alan, who not only put up with my madness for so many years, but also did many illos end encouraged me to write (his idea being that all the weird things in my mind were better out than left in). He has now become infected to the point of writing a ST story which will be published in a later issue.
Finally, I wish to thank him for having the sense not to be jealous of a certain tall, dark and handsome gentleman...
That's quite enough about non-essentials; let's join Kirk and Spock.
May your Star Trek never end.
