Scope and Contents
As of 2016, MSU’s collection includes fan fiction zines with stories featuring the cast of the original series (taking place during both the time period depicted in the 1966-69 television series and the time period depicted in the 1979-91 feature films) and the characters from Star Trek: The Next Generation. Series I of this collection are zines with fiction about the original Star Trek cast. The majority are K/S, or Kirk/Spock slash zines. A smaller number focus on secondary characters, including communications officer Nyota Uhura and ship’s doctor Leonard McCoy. Series II of this collection are zines with fiction about the characters from Star Trek: The Next Generation. Within fandom, a “multimedia zine” is one containing stories from several different universes, such as Star Trek, Dr. Who, Star Wars, etc. In this context, multimedia does not refer to the use of music or images, only to the multiple media properties which have inspired the fiction. MSU’s collection of multimedia zines may be found in MSS 483, “Fan Fiction Universes Other Than Star Trek” and some of these zines include Star Trek stories.
