**updated August 21, 2010**
Mostly for my personal use, this is my wish list of ST print zines I'm currently looking for, the reasons I want them and the degree of urgency I want them with :-D Being me, titles will shuffle constantly from one section to the other depending on my mood and what I'm reading. ;)
If anyone else want to use it as a reference for finding possible good zines, go ahead :). I've already bought most of the ones I really, really wanted though(I only need to find the time to review them), but I keep finding new ones to add *facepalm*
OTW = on the way, meaning I have this item on order and am waiting for it to arrive - fervently hoping it DOES arrive. *crosses fingers*
Want now, now, NOW! :D
-
Within the Mirror 7, 182 p. Nice portrait covers, has Spock with cadet Kirk (Kelly), K realizes S not inaccessible after visit m! (Stanis), M!Spock crossing to our universe but won't say why (Cavalcante), and Butler Stiffie-winning novella (Through Erebus - Marlena sells K into slavery when sees he wants S).
OTW -
Trusting the spirit, Anna S. Greener, 179 p. A mind-meld with an alien makes Spock's feelings for his captain come to the forefront. Great review on Kardasi. NOT an Ancient Vulcan novel. Great kardasi review.
-
Gemini, Janice MacDonald. 137 p., 1992, UK. 14 year old orphan Jimmy Kirk is adopted and raised by Sarek of Vulcan and his human wife Amanda, as a brother to their son, Spock...As the boys mature to manhood, their adventures take them to the stars and to a relationship that brings them closer than brothers, closer than twins. No inside art. (sold for $70 on eBay, good sign?)
-
The Bloodstone, 180 p., Carol Frisbie and Susan K. James (authors of the beautiful Nightvisions). Gen novel about Kirk and Spock stuck in a mediaval world. (rec Amy)

Living in spite of logic, Ellen O'Neil. Gen, 1990, 131 p. Jenna described it as one of the best gen zines ever, Karen gave it 2 stars, said it's the best Trek novel period and put it in her keepers. S said has good K/S undertones.

OTW -
Courts of Honor, Syn Ferguson. 610 pages, fabulous Lovett cover. Apparently a must.
-
First Light, Kate Sheridan, 188 p. Vulcan missing links, S in danger of blinking out. Nice blurb and won several prizes. I do hope there is a lot of the a"taut tension of denial and overwhelming fear" before the "loving, hot, wonderful sex" comes into play; what does it for me is the buildup. Art Butler & DEW.
