Summaries below from the Zinedex:
* Beyond, editorial by Randall Landers (2)
* Reputation by Randal; Landers and Linda Marcusky (On shore leave on Argelius, first Kirk, and then Scotty and McCoy are captured by slavers intent on turning them into mindless sexually enhanced "sexoids" - but not before they've entertained themselves with their new toys. The slavers bemoan their discovery that while Kirk's technique might be up to his reputation, his equipment definitely is not - and they make some corrections (to Uhura's later delight). The men are rescued by Harry Mudd. Explicit, raunchy and pretty darned funny..) (3)
* Clothing You'll Never See on Vulcan by Gennie Summers (an exotic costume portfolio) (47)
* Dalliance by Esther Lemay (Chapel seduces Spock with one of his mother's recipes.) (49)
* Tryst by Beth Holland (aka Linda McInnis) (revised version published in Orion #31) Klingon-style sexual interlude between Valkris and Torg - Kruge having been sent on a mission from which he is not expected to return.) (53)
* One Picture is Worth a Thousand Words by Mary Cross & Chris Hamann (Full-frontal nude photos of Kirk mysteriously appear posted all over the Enterprise.) (56)
* Dark Lady, poem and illo by Gennie Summers (67)

From the editors: "No 'zine pirate has ever done you (or us) a favor, so don't support A them thieves."
From an editor, Ann Hupe: "I hope you like the Complete Cardassian Smut Drawer Companion; I certainly did. Please note that all the names have been changed to protect the guilty and the eternally horny."

* The Complete Cardassian Smut-Drawer Companion (DS9) ("for something completely different -- For all you Cardassian-philes, we're also serving up a seven-part miniseries of the strange goings-on when Federation mixes with Cardassia.
