From the editorial:
You could say this zine is the result of a series of "I Didn't Intend Tos." I'd seen a couple of episode during the original run -- Dragonwing I & II, Plague and bits and pieces of a few others, but I kept telling myself "I'm ALREADY involved in Tomorrow People, Zorro, Wild Wild West, MacGyver, Man from U.N.C.L.E., Mission Impossible, Doctor Who, Star Trek, Voyager, Deep Space Nine... (the list goes on for literally hours). I don't need another fandom!"
There are some prototypes floating around out there:
We were in such a hurry to get the zine ready for its MediaWest debut, that some mistakes were missed. Most of them were very small, but to make the zine as good as possible, we ended up reprinting the zine. Those of you with MediaWest copies will notice adifference - this version is cleaner and has -hopefully -fewer typos than that one.
