Connie Faddis

Connie Faddis is an enormously talented fan who was active in many aspects of Star Trek and K/S fandom. She was an artist who did illustrations and cover art for many zines, including Broken Images. Connie was active in fandom, winning awards and making fanworks, from 1968 to the early 90s.
Her earliest fanworks were in Star Date #1, published in June 1968. In 1975, Faddis started the zine Interphase, which many fans consider the best gen fanzine of all time.Boldly Writing, by Joan Marie Verba, pg 24 About her art reproduction technique a fellow fan said:Connie was a fan writer (mostly in the late '70s) who contributed stories and meta to other people's zines as well as her own, and had two stories published in Star Trek: The New Voyages 2.
Her comments were included in an article comparing Star Trek to Star Wars in All About Star Trek Fan Clubs #6 (1977).
She was also a noted costumer, winning many Masquerades. Nancy Kippax called her one of the "Queens of Costuming." From a June 1977 magazine: "She is one of the best known ST creative artists and writers in fandom. We don't mind if we say so. She publishes INTERPHASE, the famous and priceless silk screened zine. She has won many prizes in costume calls at the cons, and last year won second prize in the dance contest of the Bicentennial Con 10. Is there anything this creative lady cannot do?" from All About Star Trek Fan Clubs #3 Many of Faddis' costume creations were based upon fan fiction – more than one was inspired by the Kraith series.
In 2014, a fan reviewed the Starsky & Hutch zine Zebra Three and had highly positive things to say about the restraint and power of Faddis's writing in the story Mojave Crossing. See Reading a 1977 Zine in 2014: Zebra Three.
