AlleyWays is a Star Trek newsletter with a focus on the actress Kirstie Alley.

AlleyWays v.1.n.1 was published in 1983 ("first quarter" which was the spring) and contains 38 pages.

* THE AMATEUR INKSLINGER, greetings from KAFA VP and editor Emily Miao (Why this zine is late: it is about finding out that Kirstie Alley wasn't going to be Saavik anymore. "Was I right in being angry? I think so. A lot of Trekkers joined KAFA because of Saavik and I'm one of them. I never expected to see Saavik recasted; it was the worst thing that could possibly happen, next to Saavik's elimination from the script. I was also mad at Kirstie because I thought she lied to Connie and me. Didn't she say she wanted to do Saavik again? I knew she had contract problems with Paramount, but I thought it was minor. Then the bad news sprung (little did I know about Bennet's hand in this). Connie insisted on delaying the zine for a few more days to contact Kirstie so that we can get the full story. A 'few" days became six weeks, and word had out in fandom and in newspapers that Kirstie gave Saavik the boot and that Robin Curtis took over.... Well it's too late to do anything, now that filming started a month ago. All we can do is wish Robin good luck... In the meantime I plan to give Harve Bennett a piece of my mind about his disservice to Kirstie and fandom. Does anyone care to join me?") (9)
