Between Friends (Starsky and Hutch zine)

Between Friends is a gen Starsky and Hutch letterzine edited by Elaine Hauptman. Slash is mentioned, acknowledged, slash zines are advertised, and many fans express an appreciation for it, but it is not strictly a slash zine. A fan in late 1985, just as the letterzine ended, commented elsewhere that "Carla does not mind if you discuss as Elaine did." This comment was in K/S & K.S. (Kindred Spirits) #17. Carla was the editor of APB.
This zine won an Encore Award.
Issues #1-4 were mailed out on the 1st of the month, and after that, on the 15th of the month. Like many early fan publications, some issues were published without any copyright notices and may, in the US, be in the public domain.
For other Starsky and Hutch letterzines, see List of Letterzines.

==From the First Editorial==
==Awareness of "Between Friends" as a Public Forum==
Several fans, including the editor, commented on letterzines as a public forum.
From the first editorial: "In all the years of the former S&H l/z, I think I only ever wrote one letter to it, as I'm not really much of a public letter writer."
In the first issue, the editor of the now-defunct S&H writes: "BETWEEN FRIENDS. I think that's an apt title for a public forum between the people of Starsky & Hutch fandom..."
A fan in issue #2 writes: "I'm a bit nervous thinking about what to write for the l/z. Now that I'm aware that it is going to appear in a somewhat public place."

* this issue has a review of Pushin' the Odds, see that page
* a fan closes her letter with the lyrics to Paul William's "Lifeboat," calling it a "S&H-related song," an example of how fans were tying their favorite shows to the music they were hearing on the radio
* a fan, among other things, lets her mom read her zines, she's also a fan of this letterzine's paper choice: 
* a fan discusses what we today would call fanon: 
* a fan comments on the visibility of her letters: 
* a German fan writes of the challenges of being a fan in her country: 
* a fan is amassing a collection: 
* a fan named Reginia writes:

* a fan wins by a nose: 
* a fan speculates on conflict: 
* a zine writes of zines as a sign of the robustness of fandom: 
* a demonstration of how close-knit the S&H letterzine fans were: 
==Issue 3==
Between Friends 3 was published in May 1984 and contains 32 pages.
* a fan writes about another fan: "First, a note to anyone who has been writing [name redacted]: don’t worry, it’s not you. She is not sick, kidnapped, or in jail. She is OUT of fandom and all it entails… and that includes writing to people. I thought her ex-correspondents should know."
* a fan writes a short bio. She lists her marital status, her job, her fandoms, and concludes with "Oh, yeah. Am a DOB… aren’t we all?"
* a fan chides another fan for quoting French: "Are you going to be the [BNF name redacted, initials P W] for this zine?"
* a fan complains about lack of zines: "Once upon a time we heard about a zine named Scales of Justice, and before that, oh, lo, many moons and eons [ago], there was a rumor of Bird of Paradise. There IS a sudden dearth of S&H zines…arrrgh!"
* a fan writes that she's just gotten a color television and can now watch the eps in full glory. She says she just noticed Starsky’s red socks.
* a fan comments on Pushin’ the Odds: 
* a fan is pleased with the letterzine: "I felt it ‘did’ something to me, it was also neutral, no arguments, etc. The print’s not too small, either. Keep up the good work."
* a fan is mystified by the acronyms “WOTS” and “TSOSASH.” “I don’t know what the FanQ Awards are either.”
* a British fan chides an American fan for giving away a plot point in a David Soul movie: 
* a zined reassures others: “…for those people who wrote panicky letters to me after reading that 3-11 will be our last zine. No, this does not mean we are gafiating from fandom. What is does mean is we will not be producing any more zines… Time spent on zine-production will be spent on writing.”
* a fan applauds another’s earlier letter: "Applause for more S&H stories; the S/H concept spoils what is a beautiful relationship, and I do not agree with it at all."
* there is talk of a proposed Starsky and Hutch movie. Some fans think this is super, others not so much. The latter fans are worried about how the actors will be too old and the concept will mess with the canon timeline. Another says she has heard that the script is about one of them married, is into trouble and tries to find his old pal who he hasn't seen in years. "If this is true, we should be lucky not to see that movie, for his is certainly not the S&H we know."
* a fan writes: "A realization struck me as I read ‘Between Friends’ #2. A letterzine is just that! A letterzine!! Well, gee. I'd never seen a letterzine before now, and I guess I just though it mean skinny... When I wrote my first letter, I didn't know it was going to be published.” Another fan says, “When Tabby told me my letter was in the l/z, I thought, ‘Eek!"
* a fan says: "After hearing about all the hullabaloo about the former S&H S and H l/z, I got my grubby paws ahold of some and browsed through them. Hmm. It is a shame that it degenerated into the state that it did. Even while wading through the morass of arguments… I discovered loads of information I didn’t know.” She applauds ‘Between Friends’ for not “falling into that pit” and suggests that those folks who feel an argument coming on to ‘write directly to those who write something that interests them and debate it that way. That way, disagreements can be aired without the whole of the fanworld knowing about it."
* a fan who absolutely does not believe in the S/H premise says she loves the song “Woman” by John Lennon as it reminds her of Starsky and Hutch. "Change the word ‘woman’ to Hutch or Starsky... and presto!"
* a fan applauds another’s idea of writing a history of Starsky and Hutch fandom, another fan agrees and says "possibly the best historian would be one new to us, without the biases that some of us have which would color our objectivity."
* a gen-only fan writes that she liked “Echoes” in Pushin’ the Odds and comments: "Is THAT way the ‘/’ was printed blue-on-red filigree? Well, I’ll be damned! I asked them what the secret punch number was for but I never got an answer. Do they do that in case someone clones it, they can find out who? Hee, hee… what an idea!"
* a fans says she readily lends out-of-print zines to people, but only ones in person as postage is too expensive and the post office is too unreliable
* about the alley scene in “The Fix”: "Another bit that makes the internal organs wobble about."
* this issue has four pieces of fiction: "Between Friends" by Kandy Fong, "Young Man's Fancy" by Sue-Anne Hartwick, "The Typographical Error" by Regenia Marracino, "Spring Is" by Pat Massie
* there is an ad for 3-11 "The zine that serves up a cocktail of S&H poetry, fiction, and art, lightly spiced with S/H, and all in the best possible taste... Age statement required."

* some proposed zines that didn't make it off the ground: "Changeling" ("a high quality adventure, drama and romance, with each emphasizing a different fandom... #1 Starsky and Hutch and #2 Hill Street Blues... We are seeking specific types of material, especially for issue #2"), "All Sorts of Heroes... Hill Street Blues" ("mini-zine, 22 pages, art work, poetry, wordgrams, wordsearch, crosswords, photographs, recipes, ads, calligraphy. I need a run of 10-120 orders to cover my costs.")

* a fan puts in an announcement for another fan that a new A-Team letterzine is being started called On the Jazz, contact Debbi O.
* a fan writes: "I heard of a whole new fandom, this S&H, where one didn't have to just read fanzine stories to see K&S show affection for each other; here these neat cops on TV actually showed outward affection and even touching [on the screen]!" Another fan writes that "S&H makes K&S look like nodding acquaintances!"
* several fans complain that all the letterzines they subscribe to have deadlines the same time, which could be one reason this issue of "Between Friends" changes its deadline to mid-month

* for a fan looking for out-of-print zines, a suggestion: "Look out for zine auctions, m’dear, and if all else fails trying dropping the editor(s) in question a request for Xerox permission. At worst, they can only say ‘no.’ And most will say ‘go ahead’ as we at 10-13 Enterprises do. But it's a courtesy to ask first."

A couple saw them married, but most not, with each man remaining the most important relationship in each other's life, but in a "completely straight" way. A couple say they see then getting gunned down in a blaze of glory like Butch and Sundance. One said:
