Tagging Along

Tagging Along is a gen and slash Starsky & Hutch fanzine. Tagging Along is the title on the cover. 
It has two subtitle pages inside: "Chronicles of a Chelonian" and "Adventures of a Chelonian". Other subtitles include: Adventures of a Chelonian in Collaboration with a Cayman.
This zine is completely handmade and hard to find.
The table of contents lists no authors, but a comparison of each story to stories in other zines show that Tabby Davis and S. Soliste are two of the authors. This zine has 160 pages. The interior illos consist of some xeroxed photos, some small line drawings, and art by Ruth Kurz. 
At least one story, "The Legend of the Red Shirt," as printed in zines is slightly different than what was posted online. This may also be the case of other stories in this zine.
==Its Origins==
==Reptiles==
The subtitles relating to turtles and alligator-like reptiles may have roots in some in-jokes that circulated in some early issues (1980) of S and H. "Hutch sleeps like an alligator" is one such reference as were the alligators on the convention committee's badges at DobeyCon.
