==Issue 7== 
 
Warped Space 7 was published June 4, 1975 and contains 26 pages. This issue was supposed to be the Ourcon report issue, but no one turned in enough stuff and there were final exams and.... The editor promises this content in issue #8.
Reprints: #2, August 12, 1975, #4, February 1, 1976, #4 ("and final") April 5, 1976. 
NOTE: because there were so many reprints and it appears that Chapek tweaked/rewrote her editorials for each, each of the reprints may have slightly different commentary.
Copyrights on the fourth printing (1976) was to MSUSTC.
The editor reports in an early reprint that Ourcon 1975 was fun but financially troublesome and asks other fanzines (in exchange for a free ad in Warped Space) to run an announcement that, in part, says:

* Editorial (2)
* Birthday Waltz by Paula Block (McCoy, depressed by a 'surprise' birthday party that reminds him of his age, leaves the merriment and takes refuge in sickbay. He is not too happy to be disturbed by ensign Sadie Faulwell who is seeking attention for a sprained ankle. This is the first story in a long series.) (3)
*After the Ball by Paula Block (It takes a lot to get through to Leonard McCoy - and Sadie Faulwell wants to do just that. After an evening of dancing alone with the doctor in sickbay, McCoy is avoiding Sadie and it is up to her to take the initiative if they are ever to get together again.) (9)
