==Issue 3==
Beyond Antares 3 - R Rated contains 40 pages. It is undated.
The short author's note says this zine was available to members of STAC, a fan club active in 1973, so this is likely an early 1980s reprint of a 1973 story.
The zine contains a single poem called "Fiona" and a novel called "Just a Wee Bit O' Scotch," both by Susan Clarke. The novel is a love and adventure story featuring Montgomery Scott and an ofc named Fiona.
The story was originally written in August 1969, and is an example of published drawerfic.
On the cover:
* "Just a Wee Bit O' Scotch" by Susan Clarke.
* "Dedicated, in revenge, to twae bonny lassies, who, methinks, are wee faggots and daft buddies... (but then aren'twe all?)"
* "Note well that this is a copy of the original manuscript of "Just A Wee Bit 'O Scotch" by the original authoress—all other copies are of a stolen plot. This draft completed August, 1969."
From the zine: "Please note that this is the third issue of Beyond Antares, available for 75¢ to members of "STAC" (no postage charged)... This story was written a long time ago now (it hardly seems that long) so I'm sure there are a lot of technical faults in it that I would not make now. It was written for my own enjoyment and for the enjoyment of my friends. I do hope you will accept it for what it is and will like it and enjoy it yourself. I'll be glad to enter into correspondence with anyone over it."
