LoneStar Trek

You may be looking for Lone Star, a Blake's 7 zine.
LoneStar Trek is a gen Star Trek: TOS fanzine. It ran for 7 issues. The first four issues also contain one or two Star Trek: TNG stories each.
Bill Hupe notes in his 1995 catalog that many considered Vault of Tomorrow to be the ultimate hurt/comfort zine. It was "often emulated over the years since Vault ceased publication and never duplicated -- only LoneStar Trek has even come close to providing the ultimate in hurt/comfort reads."
