* winners of the second Philon Award were announced
* a fan posts a copy of a very lengthy and informative "letter" she sends to her online newsgroup, ASCEM; it explains what zines are, how to write for them, and how to order them
* a fan writes of some discussions she's had with other fans about men and the world of K/S: would they be welcome at the K/S party at Shore Leave, that would the presence of even one change the dynamics, would it make a difference if the man were gay, should K/S remain a woman-centered space, what sort of energy would men bring to the conversation and did women even want to know what it was?
* a fan writes of Revelcon, notes that while it's not officially slash, it's very slash friendly, and that lots of male Klingons always show up. She writes of buying lots of zines at the Orphan Zine Table for five dollars or less. The fan donates them to The K/S Library. All in all, she procured 26 zines and was ecstatic.
* a fan writes that when she moved, she hired carpenters to build her a closet with shelves. She then took all her zines out of the trunk of her car in the dead of night where she hid them from the prying eyes of those she lived with. Then, the next day, the carpenters sought her out and said if she was going to "load those shelves up like that, we need to reinforce 'em. You're going to have to move all that stuff out." She moved all the zines again back to her car in the dead of night.
* many fans write that they didn't know about zines, or other K/S fans, or Trek erotica until they had online access, echoing fans in an earlier era who found out about many of the same things when Star Trek Lives! was released over twenty years ago
* a fan defines "publish" as both in print zines and when one of her stories "makes it into the ASC archive." Another fan says fiction posted to the internet is not published, and another fan disagrees and states that things in the public domain were considered "published."
* a fan says she feels that it's not printed zines that are elitist, but computers, citing the cost of buying a machine, getting internet access and paying for all the other things computers entail
