==Issue 8 (1984)==
K/S & K.S. (Kindred Spirits) 8 was published in April 1984 and contains 64 pages. The deadline for the next issue was June 15, 1984.
Despite the very volatile remarks by BPG in the previous issue, there are very few comments about her or directed to her. One thanked her for a book list and then said: "I hope bad times have run their course for you and things have gotten better." Another fan said: "I [don't have axes to] sharpen for I like your illos. But I was wondering if it was worth all the effort to reply to others negative comments on your opinions. What about ignoring them? Being ignored is much worse then having someone to argue with!" BPG, herself, did not contribute to this issue.
