Spockanalia

Spockanalia is a gen Star Trek: TOS anthology of stories, poems, articles, art and letters. 
It was the very first all-Star Trek fanzine ever published, done when the series was still in its first season on NBC. It was edited by Devra Michele Langsam and Sherna Comerford. Originally meant as a one-shot, it ended up as a five-issue series when the editors were inundated with material after the first issue appeared. 
Originally a full 8 1/2 x 11 in size, it has been reprinted numerous times reduced to a 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 (digest-sized) format. 
There were five issues of Spockanalia. The editor explains in the last issue that the plan was for the three editors to split into two groups and publish the zines Masiform D, and Nevertrodden Worlds, the latter which never got off the ground.
For similar zines of this era, see List of Star Trek TOS Zines Published While the Show First Aired.
In 2016, editor Devra Langsam gave permission to the Sandy Hereld Memorial Digitized Media Fanzine Collection to make online copies available to the public.
This zine series is also the topic of Where No Fandom Has Gone Before: Exploring the Development of Fandom Through Star Trek Fanzines and its accompanying webpage and archive by Jacqueline Guerrier (2018).
 
==Its Origins==
===Comments by the Editor: 1971===
In the 1971 editorial of Masiform D #1, Devra Langsam explains "Spockanlia's" origins, and its eventual transition into "Masiform D." 
===Comments by the Editor: 2017===
In 2017: Langsam said: 
 
 
 
==Some Philosophy from a 1968 Flyer==
The flyer asking for submissions for the second issue emphasized some very distinct decisions regarding creative endeavors, canon, and the role of fanworks, at least in this publication.
==Contributions and Awareness from Star Trek's Creators==
Each issue of 'Spockanalia' had many examples of Roddenberry, Fontana, DeForest Kelley, and other Star Trek creators' interest, if not direct, comments and assistance.
Issue #1 has a short letter from Leonard Nimoy.
Issue #2 has a short letter from Gene Roddenberry as well as excerpts of several from Dorothy C. Fontana . Issue #2 also has letters by James Doohan, Leonard Nimoy, Walter Koenig, and DeForest Kelley, all (except for Koenig's) written "in-character." Fontana writes: 
 
By issue #3, Gene Roddenberry and his production staff had taken even more note of the fanzine and submitted a letter to the editors stating: 
Supposedly, a copy of "Visit to a Weird Planet" from issue #3 was also sent to Gene Roddenberry. Fanthroplogy, 
In 2017, Langsam said: 
For more on Roddenberry's involvement with fandom, see TPTB's Involvement and Interference.
==Some Genre Firsts==
Because it is the very first Star Trek zine, 'Spockanalia,' by nature, contains many genre firsts.
===RPF===
Issue #3 has a very early known example of RPF. "Visit to a Weird Planet" sends Kirk, Spock and Bones back to the set of the filming of Star Trek. The three characters meet, among others, Gene Roddenberry. 
===Sex, Female Gaze and Desire===
In Spockanalia 3, Laura Harris' prose poem "The Alternate" appeared. It is supposed to be the thoughts of a woman in a relationship with Spock from the mirror universe, or someone very much like him. It describes sexual congress in a dreamlike, romance-novel style, explicit enough that the reader understands what's going on, similar to Anais Nin's Delta of Venus erotica.
In issue 4, the story "Time Enough" appeared. It was a simple tale of Spock's brief affair with a part-Vulcan officer during his next pon farr. When political circumstances necessitated her return to Vulcan, the two parted company amicably, without creating a marriage bond. This was the first of many relationship stories to follow. In this story, all the sex occurred "offscreen" and the entire story could have played as an episode of the show (considering Kirk's bedroom scenes in "Elaan of Troyius" and "Wink of an Eye"). But it was considered extremely controversial at the time. 
The editors received many letters about "that dirty story" and had to remind readers that "psychologists say this is normal."
From the editor's comments in the fourth issue of Spockanalia (1969): 
===Telepathic Dialogue Punctuation ===
The fourth issue of "Spockananalia" contains the first published fan story, Time Enough, to use double forward strokes -- // -- to indicate telepathic dialogue. Author Lelamarie S. Kreidler explained this in an introductory note, reminding readers that telepathic communication is common among Vulcans. This practice was picked up by Jean Lorrah for her first solo professional novel, and explained to Joan Verba in Boldly Writing that she thought it was standard practice.
===Ni Var===
Spockanalia is probably best known for being the zine in which Dorothy Jones' poem "The Territory of Rigel" appears. It is a ni var supposedly composed by Spock during a late night watch on the bridge. This was the first time the term ni var was seen. "The Territory of Rigel" compares the darkness of the bridge on night shift to the brilliance of the star Rigel on the viewscreen. By implication, it also compares Spock's own Vulcan and Terran natures.

* Off the Top, editorial (7)
* a short letter (telegram, printed all in caps) by Gene Roddenberry (9)
* excerpts from letters written by D.C. Fontana (in which she mentions many things about Spock, including his last name (XTMPRSQZNTWLFB!), his lack of siblings, his vegetarianism, the placement of Spock's heart, that Spock (being half human) will not live as long as other Vulcans, that it was possible that Sarek didn't enter his first pon farr until he was sixty-four years old, that ALL Vulcan males given names begin with an "S" and all female ones with a "T," and that Spock is thirty-six years old. It begins with: "As story editor and a writer of STAR TREK, I came into possession of your SPOCKANALIA, which Gene Roddenberry brought back from the NYCON. (I couldn't go…I had to work on a script.) Since I've been instrumental in developing the characteristics and background of Spock too, some of which are mentioned in your magazine, I thought I'd drop a line…") (9)
* a letter written by James Doohan (in the character of Montgomery Scott, in which he explains how he became a "Space Engineer" for Starfleet: "I very seldom tell this story because it has its embarrassing moment but here goes. Off the coast of Scotland are many small islands inhabited by few or none at all... I wanted a quiet place to write my thesis...") (12)
* a letter from Walter Koenig (congratulating the editors on the fanzine and in which he talks vaguely about the show's cancellation) (14)
* a letter from DeForest Kelley (in the character of Dr. McCoy: "My thrill comes when we touch a planet similar to Earth in the 1960s where a physician's mind and skill are still the prominent factors, not a computer... As for Spock, what the blazes do I know about Vulcans? I reach for his heart and come up with his liver.. I recently brought aboard a young Dr. M'Benga to get Spock off my back. I can't be bothered with rubbing my nerves raw about a physical jigsaw. I have enough problems without taking on all of Spock's peculiarities, mental or physical. He is capable of undoing every single thing I have learned in all my years of medical training and I don't intend to let him do it. I have warned Captain Kirk that one more Vulcan aboard our ship, just one more, and I will resign from the service...") (15)
* a short letter by Leonard Nimoy (writing in character as Mr. Spock as he responds to "McCoy's" letter above: "If you can imagine what it would be like to have a toothache treated by a screaming witch-doctor...") (16)

From an August 1968 blurb: 
From the editorial:
 
* Editorial by Yeds (7)
* Spock (a somewhat disturbingly violent limerick) by Marian Turner (9)
* letter from Gene Roddenberry (10)
* The Most Unforgettable Humanoid I've Ever Met by Allan Asherman (written as a Reader's Digest article about meeting Spock) (11)
* The Mysterious Yellow String by Joyce Yasner (a very creditable imitation of John Lennon's humorous style, as if Lennon were narrating a Star Trek episode) (18)
* Proposed Structural Sketch of the Vulcan Language by Dorothy Jones (18)
* Duty Briefing: Stores and Supply by Juanita Coulson (20)
* A Slanderous Song by Devra Langsam, Debbie Langsam and Joyce Yasner (Extremely raunchy filk based on the Beach Boys' "Sloop John B". Lyrics here.) (32) 
* Vulcan Nutrition by Tom Bulmer ("According to recent theory, Vulcan blood cells do not begin as true cells, but as highly structured bodies analogous to extra-cellular chloroplasts. Much of their color is due to light scattering. Illuminated from behind, Vulcan blood gives a red hue to any concentrated source of light, and may appear blue or colorless depending on different lighting methods.") (33)
* Mare Frigoria by Terri Harris (35)
* The Vulcan Reforms by Lee Burwasser (reprinted in Vulcan Reflections #2) (38)
* Klingon Intelligence Report by John Mansfield (Transcription of stolen documents show Klingon misunderstanding, half truths and propaganda about Vulcan's control over the Federation.) (46)
* The Alternate by Laura Harris (Narrated by an unnamed woman, musings about having a relationship with Spock from the mirror universe or someone very like that, during some strong PG-13 or perhaps mild R-rated sex. The editors were bombasted with letters about this. While it was nothing compared to what a child could pick up on any grocery store newsstand at the time, many fans young and old considered it too explicit for Star Trek standards. It's possible that fans were simply shocked by any depiction of "onscreen" sex.) (49)
* Whoops! and Rank Out by Yeds (52)
* Terms and Conditions of Residence Aboard a Starship Class Vessel by Joyce Yasner (53)
* The Vulcan Heart: An Alternative Proposal by Dorothy Jones and Sherna C. Burley (62)
* The Menace by Sherna C. Burley (humorous play) (64)
* The Probable Place of Art in Vulcan Culture by Sue H. Lewis (reprinted in Vulcan Reflections #2) (71)
* Alt by Terri Harris (74)
* Intimations of Mr. Spock by John Boardman (discusses Sherlock Holmes and James Branch Cabell's character Dom Manuel) (75)
* A Lament for the Unsung Dead by Jane Peyton (tells of the one time Spock did not come in time to rescue Kirk, told from Christine Chapel's POV) (This story was mentioned in Star Trek Lives!.) (80)
* Excerpt from the Young Vulcan's Handbook of Emotional Control by Deborah Langsam (84)
* Visit to a Weird Planet or the Inside Story Behind the Antagonism of a Certain Network Toward a Certain Segment of the Population online here by Jean Lorrah and Willard F. Hunt (RPF) (reprinted in Computer Playback #5) (sends Kirk, Spock and Bones back to the set of the filming of Star Trek) (a very early RPF) (89)

The editors anticipated heavy backlash for "Time Enough" in this issue, and "The Alternate" in the previous issue: 
From the editorial: 
* Leila's Poem by Andra Robbins (also in Minara Nova) (10)
* Time Enough by Lelamarie Kreidler (the first fanfic relationship story. Spock begins to go into pon farr and seeks out the part-Vulcan LCdr. Lian Jamison to help him through it. By today's standards the story is PG. The pair part amicably without bonding or commitment when she is called back to Vulcan. This was the first story to use double slashes [//] instead of quotation marks to illustrate telepathic dialogue. It is online here.) (12)
* Universal Constant by Rusty Hancock (26)
* The Free Enterprise by Robin Schuster, Randy Cowan, Jane Peyton, and Carle Johnson (27)
* Mr. Spock on Logic: An Interview by Jacqueline Lichtenberg (the topi is logic in Kraith. (Lichtenberg said later: "My very first STAR TREK article and in many ways the salient basis of the Kraith series." from The Sime/Gen Concordance) (reprinted in Vulcan Reflections #2) (33)
* A Tale of 3 Kirks by John Boardman (36)
* Communication from Star Fleet" by John Mansfield (39)
* Pierce by Sherna Burley (in "dramatic form" Boldly Writing says, "In the early fanzines, one could find such a story in play or script form every once in a while, but these seldom appeared after 1980.") (Pierce is a veteran officer who has gone quietly, unnoticeably insane after a hellish mission led by a Vulcan. Now he has it in for all Vulcans...) (42)
* Star Trek Song by Ed Chamberlain (68)
* Crank Letter by Jean Lorrah (71)
* Vulcan Graffiti and Enterprise Graffiti (82)
* Scotty: Inter-personal relationships within a closed community by Devra Langsam and Deborah Langsam (82)
* How To Beat a Vulcan at Chess by Susan Kotar (90)
* A Vulcan Compromise by Suzanne Laycheck (92)
* Family Affair by Devra Michele Langsam (This was a gen story in the 1960s sense of the word, set in the Star Trek universe but with none of the canon characters. It's a lighthearted story about a human archaeology professor and her Vulcan husband.) (reprinted in Computer Playback #3) (94)

==Further Reading/Articles About/Meta==
* (October 20, 2014)
* ("a spatial study in an attempt to demonstrate how Star Trek fanzines connected the fandom. The dataset used is derived from fanletters sent in to two Star Trek fanzines: Spockanalia (issues #1-5) and T-Negative (issues #1-20).)
* ("A Proposed Model of the Vulcan Heart is an interesting and relevant section of Spockanalia #1. It is reflective of two early trends in Star Trek fandom and fan creation....it is an example of the act of self-insertion into fanworks.")
* ("A Revisit is a unique but highly significant section of Spockanalia #2. It's existence is unique due to the timeframe in which the early issues of Spockanalia were published. Spockanalia #1 was published two weeks before the airing of Star Trek Season 2")
* ("Star Drek and The Free Enterprise are both fictional fan writings featured within Spockanalia #1 and Spockanalia #2. Rather than write case studies on Star Trek characters, these authors chose to write more fictional works, both with humorous intent. Star Drek is an extended fanfiction about the Enterprise crew traveling to a fantasy environment. ")
* ("This article in Spockanalia #1 is a study of Vulcan physiology through observation of Mr. Spock. It combines both canonical apsects witnessed in Star Trek episodes, and fan speculation on Vulcan anatomy and biology. Physiologica Vulcanensis is the first to provide many of what would be popular theories regarding Vulcan anatomy, ancestry, and reproduction.")
* ("Lettercol is a section of the Spockanalia fanzine dedicated to displaying letters sent into the fanzine by readers. This is one of the most significant ways in which fanzines influenced early modern fandom culture. Letter sections of fanzines were commonplace and not only shared information, but also shared the thoughts of readers, many of which were many miles apart. ")
