==Descriptions from Ads==
From an ad in the first issue of Scuttlebutt # 1, asking for submissions: “An ‘ultra-adult’ Star Trek zine. Serious treatment of all adult themes. No parodies or satires. Heavy emphasis on characterization. ST characters only.”
From an ad in Scuttlebutt #5 (Jan/Feb 1978):“An exploration of the erotic/sensual side of Star Trek. The first all Kirk/Spock erotic zine will be ready for mailing on or before 2/15/78 or for pickup at ST Expo.”
From an ad in S.T.A.G. #28 (April 1978): “A zine exploring a possible sexual relationship between Kirk and Spock. Contains material which may be offensive to some. The editor describes herself as an ‘intellectual fence-sitter’ on the subject and is not convinced of its validity, but does feel that it is a valid subject for fictional discussion.”
==The Paramount Piece: This Zine Was Sent by an Angry Fan to TPTB==
"Thrust" was sent by a fan to Paramount in an effort to quash slash and to get the creators and contributors of the zine in trouble.
