Spockulations

You may be looking for the zine The Spockulator.
Spockulations is a gen anthology of fiction and non-fiction focusing on Spock.
==Issue 1==
Spockulations 1 was published in January 1971 (despite the '70' on the cover) and contains 54 pages.
The art is by Karen Flanery and Renee Byrd Smith.
The reason the cover has 1970 on the cover and the zine wasn't published until January 1971 was because the editor, Sam Cole, suffered some very serious health issues, and this delayed the zine. She explained much more in the editorial: 
This issue contains some correspondence between Sam Cole and those staging and promoting a Star Trek play. See Star Date 3113.7.
It also includes a letter from David Gerrold giving his okay to fans mentioning tribbles in their own fanworks, and states that he doesn't mind fans writing parodies as long as they were non-profit and in good taste, not malicious, and clever. "When I wrote and asked David Gerrold for permission to refer to him and his tribbles in "Once Upon A Star Trek, this was his reply:"
