Galactic Discourse

Galactic Discourse is a gen "often quite sentimental" from the Zinedex Star Trek: TOS fanzine. As seen from the reactions and reviews below, some fans considered select material to be pre-K/S, smarmy, and even K/S.
The zine had five issues between 1977 and 1987, first under the label Sleepy Sehlat Press, then under Satori Press. The earlier issues were reprinted.
==General Reactions and Reviews==
==There Were Plans for a Sixth Issue==
In the editorial for issue #5, Huff wrote of a sixth issue, one that never got off the ground:
==Issue 1==
Galactic Discourse 1 was published in February 1977 (reprinted April 1981) and had 112 pages, offset. 
It was $3 in person, $4.35 first class. The front cover: Hugh Mason; back cover: Laurie Huff. The other art is by Gordon Carleton, Gerry Downes, Amy Falkowitz, Leslie Fish, Amy Harlib, Kathi Lynn Higley, John Holliday, Laurie Huff, Suzanne Kirwan, Signe Landon, Gee Moaven, Lee Shackleford, Marty Siegrist, Charlene Terry (front cover lettering), and Joni Wagner.
