Metamorphosis (Star Trek: TOS zine)

Metamorphosis is a Star Trek: TOS anthology. 
While the two zines were technically gen, issue two was quite slashy.
The original plan was for it to be published five times a year. In reality, there was an issue in 1973 and one in 1976.
In July 2002, the author reprinted the two zines as a single combined issue.

==Reactions and Reviews: Issue 2==
==Combined Issue==
The original publications were by Love Child Press in Grand View, Idaho. There was an "authorized second printing" in July 2002 by Halcyon Enterprises in Springfield, Oregon, that combined both issues.
That issue of the zine uses the cover of the original first issue, but with an altered list of contributors.
The original cover highlighted: Ruth Berman, Greg Jein, Alan Andres, Douglas Herring, Karen Flanery, and Musie Green
The reissue's cover highlighted: Ruth Berman, Connie Faddis, Karen Flannery, Douglas Herring, Greg Jein, and D.T. Steiner.
Ironically, the reprint has a short errata from Steiner correcting Andres' name on the cover from "Alan Andres" to "Alan E. Andres," but then spells Flanery's name, which was correct on the first cover, as "Flannery" on the reprint cover.
