Dear Diary....

Today, while wandering the TumblrLand Wastes, I came across a fan sharing bits of Star Trek fanzine history. She even posted a few photos of one of her beloved zines. More here


"As promised, here are some photos of my old Kirk/Spock slash fanzines. These are, in all seriousness, some of my most prized possessions. They sit wrapped in plastic and I hardly ever take them out because they’ve already seen a lot of wear and tear. I wonder where these writers and artists are now…"

And some of the reblog comments:
"I might have to start collecting these."
"HISTORY! *flails hands with glee*"
".... a chance to commune with our forebears in the faith. Seriously, I LOVE this, that there are Kirk/Spock fanworks older than I am."
"This is history."

That is one of the first slash zones I ever bought, when I was still isolated from media fandom and clutching my tiny handful of K/S zines that I'd stumbled over at a SF con. Man, that cover is visceral for me. <3
