Side by Side (Star Trek: TOS zine)

Side by Side was a slash K/S e-zine that ran to 23 issues and six special editions between 2001 and 2007, hosted at Lady Kardasi's Domain. 
At some point between 2003 and 2005, the site became accessible exclusively through a password. To achieve the same, was some rules should be followed, including signing up for the related Yahoo!Group.
In May 2019, it was announced that Side by Side would be moving to the Archive of Our Own as an Open Doors Project. The import was completed in November 2020.

From the pages of the 'zine in June 2002:
In 2004, in an interview for Lyrastar -- available at Lady Kardasi's Domain -- Kira said: 
From an article by Lyrastar in the printzine Legacy #2, published in July 2007:

See the subpages for details about individual issues, including artwork examples and story feedback:
==Website Lost==
An administrative oversight meant the domain name for Lady Kardasi's Domain was not re-registered and was sold by the domain registration company to a third party,Official announcement about the demise of kardasi.com, rendering the site unavailable. Initially it was thought that the site could be hosted elsewhere, but this never eventuated, and although some parts of the e-zine can still be accessed via , more and more is being lost over time. With the 2020 completion of Open Doors' import of Side by Side into the AO3 all of the stories were recovered and imported, but unfortunately of the 250 or so artworks, 32 remain unrecovered.
==Yahoo Group: SBS-ezine==
In May 2002 kira-nerys established a Side by Side mailing list on Yahoo! Groups.
From the group description on Yahoo:
Membership of the list was restricted to those 18 years and over - applying for membership was deemed certification - and anti-slash sentiment was not permitted. 
As the new list grew in popularity, the number of Side by Side stories posted to ASCEM - a key distribution point for K/S fiction online - declined, and SBS-ezine became the central point for feedback and discussion.
At the time Yahoo Groups was closed in late 2020, the group had 543 members.
==Hall of Fame==
In 2002, with issue #6, a new section of Side by Side called the Hall of Fame was introduced with the following announcement: 
There were twelve Hall of Fame stories in total, the last one included in issue #20. Although many printed stories did end up being published in Side by Side, particularly in the later editions of the e-zine, they were largely presented in the regular stories section rather than as Hall of Fame inclusions.
==Asking for Submissions==
From a February issue of the letterzine The K/S Press in which the editor asks for submissions: 
==Announcements==
Submission deadlines and newly published issues of Side by Side were advertised to the broader K/S community through a number of Yahoo groups, including ASCEM, Kirk-and-Spock and SBS-ezine. The editors' Livejournal accounts were also used to spread the word.
From ASCEM in 2005:
==Side by Side Anthem==
: Oh, we ain't got a barrel of credits,
: And maybe we need a few edits,
: But we'll travel the sky Happy as pi,
: Side by side!
: Through all kinds of space storms,
: Maybe the stars will fall,
: But as long as we're together,
: It doesn't matter at all.
: When they've all had their quarrels and parted,
: We'll be the same as we started,
: Just traveling along,
: Singing a song, Side by side!
