[edit] Introduction
Contact was a Star Trek fanzine published and edited by sisters Nancy Kippax and Bev Volker. When launched, they promoted it as "A New Fanzine Devoted to the Kirk-Spock Relationship".[1] As Nancy recalled later:
"Our focus in Trek, of course, was the relationship between Kirk and Spock, with McCoy liberally thrown into the mix. This, we decided, would be the essential core of our brand new fanzine, which we had immediately named "Contact". It seemed to us, at the time, as if all the good stories that we wanted to read were spread out in various zines. We'd have to buy a whole zine for one Kirk-Spock story. What we aimed to do was to bring only the best of that genre under one cover. Brash, bold baby fen that we were, we immediately set about soliciting material."[2]
