The Turbolift Review

The Turbolift Review is a gen Star Trek: TOS anthology of fiction, poems, articles and art.
The editor signs the editorial of the first issue with "K/S FOREVER," illustrating how the early use of the term did not necessarily connote a sexual relationship -- At the same time, an example of how some fans didn't necessarily draw a solid line down the middle of "gen" and "slash" comes from an excerpt from a review in 1978: "It is heavy on the K/S relationship, and will delight K/S fans. Not X-rated, nothing you wouldn't let your mother read, though mine did." from Scuttlebutt #6 
A 1999 comment by Judith Gran: "Like most Kirk/Spock heavy relationship zines, TURBOLIFT REVIEW was a great big tease. It led us on with touching, hurt/comfort, self-sacrifice and declarations of undying (but brotherly) love and never delivered. But I guess the title was the biggest tease of all ..."
