Impact (Star Trek: TOS zine)

Impact is a slash Star Trek: TOS K/S anthology edited by Jean Hinson. 
It was published in 1985 and contains 188 pages. 
It has a centerfold fold-out drawn by Pat Stall of Kirk and Spock kissing and nude in bed.
In July 1993 in an ad in GAZ, Hinson wrote: "Out of print since 1986, there are 10 reprint copies available with the original 11 x 16 half-tones Pat Stall foldout. When they are gone, the master will be destroyed."
==Conflict==
There were a number of heated personal statements submitted to the letterzines and adzines of the day regarding a falling-out between the original two creators, one of which ([J D]) allegedly absconded with funds. The remaining editor, Jean, explained the situation and thanked fans for their support. 
==Dedication==
The zine had a full-page thank you to Gayle F for her art. 
It also had this dedication: "Vel Jaeger -- because it's really all her fault for getting us into this" and Sandra Gent -- who gleefully dug us in deeper..."

Image:impactstart1.jpg|foldout art by Pat Stall, originally printed in Matter/Antimatter #2 -- "Every once in a while, a piece of K/S art comes along that is undeniably a classic. This two-page foldout is one of those pieces. Kirk and Spock are on their sides, mouths locked into a deeply passionate kiss. Spock has one arm cradled around Kirk‘s shoulders; the other hand is lovingly grasping Kirk‘s butt. It‘s done in black and white but so realistic it looks as if it‘s a photograph. It‘s available from the KSP Library, but you may want to look for a copy of this zine published in 1985 just to own this masterpiece. Once seen, it will never be forgotten. Just gorgeous! from The K/S Press #140
