Green Eggs and Ham

Green Eggs and Ham was a gen Quantum Leap anthology that ran for ten issues. It was edited by Mystery Frank. 
It contained a variety of Quantum Leap fanfiction, including a few crossovers with other fandoms, some examples being Battlestar Galactica (1978), War of the Worlds, and Northern Exposure.
The title references a Dr. Seuss picture book, "Green Eggs and Ham", published by Random House in 1960.
The first two issues were created when the show was still on the air; the third one was published after the much-disliked final episode of the series.
==Distribution and Some Foreshadowing==
The zine was distributed by New Leaf Press until 1997 when the publisher and editor, Mysti Frank pulled distribution rights following a period of inactivity from the distributor. This has ironic foreshadowing in the many controversial actions taken by Agent With Style in then-current, and later, years.

* Time For a Friend by Barbara Staton (9)

The paper wafted slowly to the floor at the hologram's feet and Sam muttered in exasperation. He bent over, snatched the paper from the tile and slammed it face up on top of the copying machine. Al stepped over and read the offending text, blinked and reread it. A low chuckle escaped him. "Well, it seems our mystery gal is a bit of an underground publisher. Knows the correct usage of lay and lie, too," he approved. Sam groaned. "Mystery gal? Y'mean you don't even know who I am?" "That's your name, Sam -- Mystery Frank, or Mysti for short."") (74)

Ziggy then says Sam has made thousands of women happy - but Al can't figure out why.
