T-Negative

T-Negative is a gen Star Trek: TOS anthology. It ran for 35 issues starting with #1 in June 1969, ending with the double issue #34/35 in March 1979. Earlier issues saw reprints in the mid-1970s in a smaller digest sized format (thus page counts between editions may vary). The name of the zine comes from Spock and Sarek's rare blood type, "T-Negative." 
A sort-of sister zine is T-Positive.
A tribute issue is A Tribute to T-Negative.
The zine series began after the cancelation of the original series, and the subsequent first cease of Berman's Inside Star Trek zine series.

==About==
In her editorial, Ruth gave her reasons for starting the fanzine: 
It is one of the very earliest Star Trek fiction zines published. For others, see List of Star Trek TOS Zines Published While the Show Was Still On the Air. Like some fanzines of that era, earlier issues were published without the required pre-1989 copyright notices, possibly placing the fanzine in the public domain.
==Some Very Early Color Work==
==The Dorothy and Myfanwy Stories==
"T-Negative" was the home of the Dorothy and Myfanwy Series, stories which focused on two young women aboard the Enterprise.

==Kraith Stories==
The zine series was one of the original homes of the Kraith series. According to a 2020 interview with Jean Lorrah and Jacqueline Lichtenberg, Spock's Affirmation, which was published in T-Negative, was "one of the earliest stories written for a fanzine based on characters from the show... and the first of the Kraith stories—a fan-created Star Trek storyline with multiple writers contributing through zines."https://www.startrek.com/news/living-star-trek-how-two-women-breathed-new-life-into-the-franchise

==From "A Tribute to T-Negative"==
In September 1980, Stephen Borer published "A Tribute to T-Negative," a 20-page collection of fan's personal recollections, poems, parodies of letters to the editor, story satires, and a serious account of a visit to the Star Trek movie set.

==T-Negative Special Art Portfolio==
This art was made available on an unknown date. It contains 15 pages of art by Tim Courtney.
A similar project was Leonard Nimoy as Mr. Spock 1972 Calendar.
From issue #23: The editor responds to a letter from a fan asking if she had ever thought of printing separate copies of Tim Courtney's art so she could matte them for display:
