Why Special Editions?
After the success of the first Kirk/Spock Online Festival in late 2000, kira-nerys announced a second in April of 2002 and went on to run a total of six Kirk/Spock Online Festivals between 2000 and 2005. Although the first KSOF was published (and remained) in a separate section on Lady Kardasi's Domain, all of the rest were published in Special Editions of the Side by Side ezine. 
While Side by Side Special Editions always contained stories and art from the Kirk/Spock Online Festivals, they also sometimes included stories and artwork from other challenges run by kira-nerys, and where a particular festival had more than one 'wave' of content this could be split across different Special Editions.
==Special Edition 1==
Side by Side Special Edition 1 was published June 2002. All of the stories and art in this edition belonged to wave 1 of the second Kirk/Spock Online Festival.
This issue was not subject to the usual publication restrictions.
