SLAYSU

You may be looking for S.L.Y.G.O., a Blake's 7 zine.
SLAYSU is an explicit adult het multifandom zine anthology which contains stories by multiple authors. 
SLAYSU stands for "So Like and Yet So Unalike."
A continuation of this zine is Conflicting Impulses.
==The Content Ratings==
From issue #4: "Just remember, even if they are not erotic, submissions must be adult in story line (not necessarily true in humor), and preferably non-sexist —both of us object to this type of literature and we will let you know if you are guilty (horrors of horrors!) of this serious offense."
Each story is rated G, PG, R, or X. 
While these designations refer to the level of sex and violence, they are also used by the editors in an unique way: the higher the rating is, the more of a PWP the story becomes. This system makes the assumption that, by definition, all sexually explicit stories have less plot than non-explicit ones. 
==From a 1982 Flyer==
==Chilling Effect: No More Erotic Star Wars Stories==
In response to Open Letters to Star Wars Zine Publishers (1981), the editors decided to not print any more new explicit Star Wars fiction, but they refused to pull that fiction from the previous issues.
From By Any Other Name, a 1982 essay printed in the the fourth issue:
==The Same Sex Stories: By Special Request Only==
The editors have an addition to their 1983 ad for "Slaysu" in Universal Translator #17, one that offers information about their slash stories. Fans were invited to send them a SASE for more information:
Some of those stories:
* Right Between the Eyes (Starsky & Hutch)
* A Flower Springs Up, (Battlestar Galactica)
* A Gathering of Hawks, (Battlestar Galactica)

SLAYSU 1 was published in November 1980 and contains 70 pages. 
It has two Star Trek: TOS pieces (one story focusing on Uhura, and the other an ST biography), two Galactica 1980 pieces (one a love story, the other an article on the reality of Space Gods), five Star Wars stories (three on Han Solo after the carbonite, a story highlighting Chewie, and one about a Luke and Vader encounter story). 
The fiction ratings: G=2, PG=4, R=2, and X=1.

* untitled Sulu poem (Star Trek: TOS) (2)
* Dirty Dishes, by Kathleen B. Retz (not fannish) (4)
* A Matter of Healing by Catherine A. Siebert (Star Wars, explicit het, features tentacles) ("The author of this story decided she couldn't write a Han Solo Rescue Story as well as George Lucas, so she concentrated on what might happen after the Corellian was rescued. Would life go on as usual? Or would he fall into the twin traps of paranoia and madness? This story explores those possibilities in a uniquely conformist manner. On another level, this is a lay Han story. it wasn't 'supposed' to be, but the author finally got her copy of Obsc'zine #4, saw the picture of her favorite Corellian, and added several scenes. She says she's going to do a story on the picture. Alas, it will have to wait for another issue of SLAYSU.") (5)
* When I Last Died by C.A. Siebert (Galactica 1980) ("No one seems to be writing stories about Galactlca 1980. You'll find several (two) In this zlne. This one Is a love story. It was originally a long prose poem that got out of hand. Now It's a story that illustrates how even the best Intentions are really no excuse for the harm done. It also shows some ideas that we thought were important.") (18)
* A Corellian Condition by C.A. Siebert (Star Wars, mpreg, Han Solo is also bisexual) ("Once upon a time there was a zlne called The Lighter Side of the Force. There was one story in there that I liked particularly, but I felt it would be better with a little more drama in It. So over the last few months, I wrote it.") (33)

* Battlestar Galactica Word Search puzzle by K.B. Retz (44)
* Whatcha Say? by K.B. Retz (article about hieroglyphs and language using symbols) (45)
* Journey's End in Lovers Meeting by C.A. Siebert (Star Trek: TOS) ("Most Star Trek stories focus on the main characters (until recently almost all of them did). Having always been an Uhura fan, I decided to dig Into her personality and background. This story presents some ideas on how her life could be and introduces an old friend. It also gives me an excuse to spout off about things that I'm interested in. (47)
* The True Scent by C.A. Siebert (Star Wars, a G-rated Han/Chewbacca story) ("This story Is an explanation of a very different culture, and a different way of looking at the universe. The author asked herself, why should beings of such disparate physiques work so well together, especially when there are obvious personality conflicts. This story is one of the possible answers.") (59)
* The Star That Beckons: The Earth Ambassador by K.B. Retz (Star Trek: TOS) ("How did this come to be written? Well... On November 15, 1973, I was introduced to Star Trek. On December 27, 1973, Cynthia Oliver and I created the Garring sisters. At first they were your typical "sisters on the Enterprise" characters, but by February, they had taken on an interesting aspect of their own -- they left the Enterprise. Now, many years and several cross-country jaunts later... I have created what may be the first ST related biography (the entire life of a character). The Star That Beckons is the chronicle of Kathy and Cynthia Garring. The first chapter you hold In your hands. It starts as all life starts, (well, most anyway) with parents. "The New Ambassador Is the story of Thomas Garring and his arrival on Vulcan.") (63)
* The Obligatory Han Solo Rescue Story by C.A. Siebert (Star Wars) ("Everybody knows that Han Solo Is going to be rescued. Even George Lucas wouldn't dare kill off such a lovable scoundrel. Even If he did, the fans would never believe it. So the stories are written rescuing dear Han, and other things are added just to entice the reader. Anyway, we decided to present a slightly different story. The author has a mind that veers. She takes the traditional and twists It just enough to make It not quite what you expect." (90)

* A Woman's Touch, Part 1 by C.A. Siebert Battlestar Galactica (1978) (101)
* Tears by K.B. Retz (Star Wars) ("Since The Empire Strikes Back came out, there have been several final encounter stories written as well as a lot of other stuff. We decided to do something along the same line. However, we started by asking several different people to come up with ideas. They were supposed to be short, a page or two at the most, vignettes. Well all we had on tap were long winded writers and this is the shortest one that we could come up with.") (119)

From the editorial: 
* Op. Cit.
* A Lesson in Humanity by Catherine A. Siebert ("This story takes place in the same universe as "When I Last Died" --approximately at the same time that Dillon is remembering Keene. The title Is In the mid-twenty-first century. Earth's technology is comparable to that of the Twelve Colonies. In the process of learning to work together, the Colonials learn that their Terran brethren are not quite what they'd expected; or in the Colonial vernacular, "Flying a simulator Is not the same thing as flying a Viper.") (Battlestar Galactica) (1)
* Recruitment by Kathleen B. Retz ("While we were selling SLAYSU 1 at Loscon last Thanksgiving, several people asked for stories about Yoda. After saying "no" several dozen times, I decided to rectify the dilemma by writing a Yoda story. Perhaps the most curious thing about Yoda is how he became a Jedi in the first place.... I plan to make this the first of a series of vignettes about Yoda and his life as a trainer of Jedis.") (Star Wars) (29)
* Star Wars Word Search by K.B. Retz (32)
* Once Upon a Paradise by K.B. Retz, art by Retz ("Once upon a time several decades earlier, the USS Eurasian was a normal ship, with a normal crew. Now, however, this Is not the case. Salek, the first officer, can tell you when exactly this change took place, but for now let us be satisfied knowing that when Kendra and Kirsten Ashe came aboard, the change became permanent. The captain himself wasn't too straight, which distressed Salek to no end, but surprisingly enough, Peter Doyle was a capable officer. John Austen ran his engineering section with typical British honor and humor, while Kendra Ashe headed the medical department. Only Kirsten Ashe, Salek decided, was anywhere near the norm, for a half human, half Vulcan, anyway.") (Star Trek) (33)
* A Woman's Touch Part 2 by Catherine Siebert ("This story continues the adventures of Helva aboard the Galactica. She has managed to survive her first two weeks without being discovered, or suspected of being of Terran birth. However, she has developed other problems. She knows too much about the wrong things and some people are beginning to wonder about her. Helva, though still worried that she will be seized and assaulted by homicidal maniacs In revenge for the deaths of their people, finds that the Colonials are just people, with the merits and faults of her own race. She also discovers some interesting things about her own reactions to the situation. For those of you who read this and wonder how the author thought of these scenes, please be advised: Helva Is still writing this story. So sit back and enjoy her view of a not quite perfect world.") Battlestar Galactica (1978)) (50)
* Fantasy, poem by K.B. Retz (67)
* Whatcha Say?, article about hieroglyphics by K.B. Retz (68)
* A Corellian Condition: "That's One I Owe You" by C.A. Siebert ("For those of you who wondered what happened after the events in "Corellian Condition" we offer this story. It follows a logic all its own. If the first story in this series offended you this one is even more likely to do so. In which case, avoid it. However, if you have a I which case, avoid it. However, if you have a warped mind, or just like to view things from a slightly different perspective, read on.") (Star Wars, mpreg) (71)

* The Star That Beckons, chapter two: Ni Var for a Marriage by K.B. Retz (99)
* What Though the Field be Lost? by Dylan Turner, art by Edward Austin ("QUESTION: How would you feel if you discovered the one man In the galaxy that Is feared and hated above all others, the master of evil that you have been taught to despise with passion and fervor, a murderer of your father, your aunt and uncle, your revered teacher, was, you father? ANSWER: A little pissed? Well in this rebuttal to K.B. Retz's "Tears" (SLAYSU #1) I attempt to tap the thoughts of the son of Darth Vader. And decide who 'really' wins, P.S. If you decide to voice your opinions about this story, please keep In mind; All letter bombs will be returned to sender.") (Star Wars) (77)
* A Matter of Healing, part 2 by C.A. Siebert ("This story continues the adventures of Han Solo and the mysterious Lady. For those of you who missed the first part of the story, it takes place after Solo is rescued and returned to the Alliance camp. It shows how a Corellian smuggler deals with the problems he faces after his ordeal. This one Is also rated X though I personally don't find It quite so arousing. It could be an R since there is more story line to It. But we decided to try to keep all the parts of a story In the same rating as much as possible. Also, someone who doesn't like X rated stories might not read the first story and if we rated the second one R, and that person decided to read it, they would be lost unless they read the first one which might offend them. Anyway It sounds like a good explanation. However, don't think there aren't a number of good sex scenes.") (Star Wars) (122)

* Beware of All Enterprises that Require New Clothes by Kathleen B. Retz, art by Shari Kay ("This story came into being because Kathy wanted to make a new Star Fleet uniform. In the process of making the pattern she cursed the one piece pants/boots. And like any good writer asked herself, how would the crew of the Enterprise, especially Captain Kirk, whose penchant for destroying uniforms is well known, react to the new uniforms? You hold in your hands one answer.") (Star Trek: TOS) (1)

* A Simple Dream by K.B. Retz (non-fiction, a description of going to see the landing of the space shuttle, Columbia, on April 14, 1981 at Edwards Air Force Base.) (11)
* Where Youth and Pleasure Meet by Justine Mercedes ("A while back I read a story that became the straw that broke the tauntaun's back. As with a lot of fan fiction. It very neatly avoided the Intimate situation between that bastion of heroics, Luke Skywalker, and an interested and Interesting female character (not Leia Organa). Is this avoidance due to a writer's embarrassment, fear, lack of Ideas, or Is It due to respect and reverence for Lucas, his creations, and the 'pure and Innocent' entertainment he has given us? I too respect the characters, but as they groy; on the screen, so too must fan fiction. My special thanks to Brian C. for furnishing the Idea of the last line of dialogue, thus providing me with a way to end the story to my liking.") (Star Wars) (15)
* Two Monstrous Evils by K.B. Retz (essay, comparing Darth Vader to Shakepeare's character, Iago) (Star Wars) (23)
* A Woman's Touch Part 3 by Catherine A. Siebert ("This story continues Helva's adventures aboard the Galactica. Those of you who count such things will notice that she's racking up quite a score. She's also learning more about the Colonials and their culture. It begins to look more and more like her own, but with some very strange differences. She finds the differences acceptable and the Colonials accept her also.") (Battlestar Galactica (1978)) (25)
* The Obligatory Han Solo Rescue Story, Part 3 by C.A. Siebert ("Well, here It Is people, the final part of "The Obligatory Han Solo Rescue Story". The clapping you hear In the background Is my co-editor. This has not been one of her favorite stories. The fact is, she hates to put the title on the page. Anyway, this story didn't exactly turn out as originally planned. Those of you who have been with us for awhile know that It was only supposed to be a two part story, but with both Leia and Tandyc sticking their two cents worth In, It didn't work. Please note the rating. It applies only to the way in which the subject matter is presented, not to the subject matter Itself, which may be distasteful to some people, though as usual I do have a reason for what I do. (Well, usually). Anyway, for those of you who have been eagerly awaiting the final return and reunion of our(?) favorite Corel 1 Ian, dig In and enjoy the final segment.") (Star Wars) (34)
* And Yet Another Star Trek Trivia Quiz by K.B. Retz (43)
* Comedy and Kisma by K.B. Retz ("This story was originally written when the author was younger than the Kuhlins. It retains certain youthful elements. But the writing has changed for the better. Still it remains a light-hearted adventure yarn. This continues the adventures of the wackiest ship in Starfleet — the Eurasian. "Equal time for the crew!" And her strange crew, too.") (Star Wars) (44)
* A Matter of Healing by C.A. Siebert ("As we left our oddly matched couple last issue, they were about to land on Man in. In this story they have done so and are in the process of dealing with the people there who need some help with a rather peculiar problem.") (Star Wars) (57)

* A Woman's Touch Part 4 by Catherine A. Siebert ("Well, people here it is, the next installment. I haven't gotten too much feedback on this story. My co-editor hates the main character and is unable to give an unbiased opinion of the story because of it. But then Helva is not supposed to be lovable. She is insane, not only by the standards of the Colonials, but by the standards of her own culture. I think that she reacts in the only fashion a sane person could, by rejecting that which insists that she be what she is not. I admit she goes a little overboard, but then maybe that's a good thing once in a while. Anyway, here is the story. Lean back and read. Helva does all those things that a woman cannot do. Things vhich most women wouldn't want to do, but which every human being should have a choice to do, or not do.") (Battlestar Galactica (1978)) (5)

* Outcasts from the Land by C.A. Siebert ("Here it is as promised. I realize this story vas promised over a year ago, but it kept fighting back. As you read it, you'll understand why. I couldn't do it the justice it deserves. That would take a full length novel, which I'm not up to at the moment. Maybe someday I'll rewrite it and put out a special edition with all the frills that would please everyone, but right at the moment, I think it better to print the story as is. I hope everyone enjoys this story. I have a feeling we're going to get a lot of comments. Don't worry. We're braced. And our mailman is getting used to all the mail we receive. I think he's getting suspicious. Enjoy yourself. Add to his suspicions.") (Star Trek: TOS) (19)
* Reflections by Siebert, art by S. Kaiafah ("For those of you who have read the Galactica stories, here's another one. This story follows (or takes place in the middle of) "A Lesson in Humanity". Several people complained that I hadn't given a good reason for Troy to be so upset (and resist so strongly) Laur's seduction (rape?). Upon rereading it, I realized that they were right. I'd completely forgotten to explain, because it was so obvious to me. A common failing among authors and a habit I have been trying to break, with moderate success. So here is the explanation.

Retz, art by Kaiafah ("For those of you who haven't bothered with reading the first two episodes in the Yoda series, here's a very short synopsis: While sitting in a tree during the Festival (when the cloud cover would lift for a day — happens every thirty years or so), Yoda sees a space ship land near the swamp. He runs over and meets with Jonah Kerenhappuch (the black Corellian pilot) and Jaquetta (Jedi Knight on a recruitment trip) and the Emperor's Nemesis, the Corellian's ship. After an argument with his father, Yoda leaves with the aliens. Jaquetta tells him about the Force and that she knows/senses that he has a natural ability. The time is the end of the first Empire and the setting up of the first Republic, eight hundred years before the opening of Star Wars. We pick up the story after the Emperor's Nanesis lifts off the surface of Dagobah.") (Star Wars , The Empire Strikes Back) (39)

* Las Pobracites, cartoon by Retz (46)
* Kerrious Interludes by Jamie Boll ("We hadn't planned on running this story, but since we're so far behind, we found we had time to type and proof it. It's one of our many submissions (hint, hint). This story gives a rather interesting and somewhat different view of Corellian society and culture. Note the rating (PG). All the sexy parts were excised (with the author's permission). So here it is. The story you've all been waiting for, about Han Solo and the 'niece' he left on Corell.") (Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back) (47)
* Standard Military Procedure by Mary Turner ("This is a submission from a reader who decided to try her hand at an Apollo story. I read it and liked it. Several rewrites later, the author and I are satisfied that m it is as good as our combined long distance skills can make it at this time. The story goes a long way back, shedding light on Apollo's youth and why he may be the type of man he is. I think it still leaves a lot unsaid, but I'm sure you can fill in the blanks, and will enjoy doing so. We're also trying to get the author to do a sequel. If she doesn't, I will. I already have a few ideas on where things would go, but she has such an interesting way of putting words together that I think I'd rather she write it. So for those of you who keep hounding us to do more Galactica stories, read on. And don't say we didn't warn you.") (Battlestar Galactica ((1978)) (53)
* The Lost Heritage Part One by Betsy Jacobs ("The Lest Heritage is the first of a fan series based on the situation left fans after The Empire Strikes Back. It's the result of well over a year of work done by a fan who didn't become a fan after Empire, yours truly, Betsy Jacobs. The first version was done before I ever read a SW fanzine, unless you count the two or three shorts Warped Space had shortly after The New Hope. Since then, this story has run through six versions, the last being a six part series (the result of exposure to MediaWestCon). Instead of an attempt to guess what might happen in The Revenge (Return?) of the Jedi, the purpose is to have fun with a story that could only exist in a fanzine, or an alternate universe. I've attempted to do romance, mystery, a character study, humor and action in the tradition of Star Wars — perhaps a touch of horror and definitely some leg pulling. WARNING - your leg already has been.") (Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back) (56)
* The Star That Beckons Part 3 by Retz ("Here at last, is the third chapter in The Star That Beckons, just as promised. I think the series is coming far enough along to start giving a short synopsis before each chapter. A year and a half ago, Thomas Garring, 26, arrived on Vulcan as the new junior ambassador to the Earth Embassy in ShiKar. In the first chapter, we were introduced to Garring, his neighbors, and his work. He also meets, through the efforts of Amanda, T'Pranj—a teacher at the Acadeny. He falls in love and proposes at the end of Chapter One. Chapter Two opens with, their wedding. They settle into a quiet routine in the large home provided by the Embassy. T'Pranj becomes pregnant and Thomas is overjoyed. It was doomed from the start, however. T'Pranj, not ever a strong person, falls ill as the pregnancy progresses. She refuses to tell Garring and by the time he finds out, it is too late. T'Pranj dies a day after giving birth to a girl. Grief-stricken, Garring secludes himself from the galaxy and tries to care for an infant alone. And the roaster bedroom is sealed off. Chapter Three, "Interim", is a time for healing...")

She writes delightful stories and considering how heavy and tiresome zines can get, we include something to break the monotony. We sincerely hope that our zine is not monotonous, but know that it could easily become so if we don't snowcase other writers. Anyway, this story is about Janice Rand. It details some of the difficulties one might encounter on board a starship. It also proves the old adage: Everyone knows that recruiters lie, even when they tell the truth.") (Star Trek: TOS) (31)

* Wings of Silver, Wings of Gold by Gerry Stout ("Not all people agree with the stories written in SLAYSU. Some write stories which they think portray the characters as they should be; this author in particular, and she's often right. Ah well. It keeps the ego down. I admit that some of the stories in SLAYSU are biased. They're based on different assumptions than most people use. But we will print different opinions, especially if the story is well written. This story shows a different Troy from the one seen in "A Woman's Touch" or "A Lesson in Humanity". Perhaps the Troy in this story is closer to the character portrayed on the TV program. They haven't rerun the Galactica '80 series in my area, so I can't be positive, but it is a valid characterization. Anyway, enjoy.") (Battlestar Galactica) (35)

Gerry found typos and gave me some helpful comments. It's nice to have someone who sees faults that you miss because they're right under your nose. Always listen to advice, even if you don't take it. By listening, you open your mind to other points of view.") (Battlestar Galactica) (61)

* The Star That Beckons, part 4, "For the Sake of the Children" by Retz, art by Susan J. Sprouse ("Thomas Garring, at age 26, was the youngest human to be assigned to the Embassy on Vulcan. He settled in, made friends — especially with Ambassador Sarek's family down the street — and was soon on his way in the political life on Vulcan. He met Dr. T'Pranj at a party, they soon married, and they had a daughter, Kathy. The birth was too much for the weak T'Pranj and she died two days later. In the last chapter, "Interim," Thomas Garring was struggling to raise Kathy alone, and work on the Project. The Einbassy and Academy assign Dr. T'Pael to work with him in T'Pranj's place. Garring resents this, but attempts to make the best of things. He wrestles with his feelings over T'Pranj, finally coming to grips with her death and opens up the master bedroom again. The time is about a month later, and Garring's life is undergoing some more radical changes.") (Star Trek: TOS) (67)
