First Principles

First Principles is a gen anthology. There are three issues. The same publisher also issued S.I.S, a Sandbagger newsletter.
A fourth issue was proposed but not published: "First Principles 4 is still Seeking Fiction, Poetry, Art, Filks & Cartoons! We're looking for material based on any and all characters from The Sandbaggers. Crossovers will be considered. Material can be serious, humorous, traditional or non-traditional. Write and draw what you enjoy, then send it in! There are no length restrictions—vignettes to novels welcome. Content can be up to an "R" rating, but no Adult or Slash please. REVISED DEADLINE: February 1, 1995 AIMING TO DEBUT: May '95 at MediaWest."
