Eridani

You may be looking for the Star Trek TOS zine Eridani Triad.
Eridani is a gen Star Trek: TNG fanzine from Orion Press. 
Most issues were anthologies, but occasionally novellas were published as part of the series.
It ran for 30 issues from 1988 to 1999. Issues #1-#22 were edited by Randall Landers, and the remaining issues were edited by Priscilla J. Ball.
There are also reprints of this zine issued as Eridani Omnibus.
The editor's description: 
 
==This Zine Series and "Established Canon"==
In June 1991, the editor Landers, stated that this zine series had not yet established an understood canon as it had for another one of his other zine series: 
It is unknown if, as the series went on, Landers did so.
==General Reactions and Reviews==
== A Heated Exchange Regarding "Endings"==
There was a heated and emotional exchange among several fans regarding a story by Mary Lee Soon. 
See Endings.
==The First's Issues Optional Supplement: "Get Wesley"==
"Eridani's" first issue contains an optional supplement called "Get Wesley." 
It included vignettes and stories that tortured and killed the character Wesley Crusher.
Most fans considered it rude, cruel, and inappropriate. 
The publisher, Randall Landers, wrote in subsequent issues that he agreed with some of these assessments and fan comments, but he also stated that he found them funny, which was why he printed them.
