All but one of the stories in this zine are by the editor. These early efforts have some interesting premises but the execution is generally middling.

"Deathwatch" (p.6-12) / Candace A. Wiggins

"To the Victor" (p.32-34, 46-49) / Candace A. Wiggins
Explores T'Pring's early years, the development of her attachment to Stonn, and the aftermath of their choice to challenge. After all her machinations, T'Pring is eagerly awaiting release from her father's home to her future with Stonn when she is informed of Stonn's death.
"The Injured Party" (p.35-36) / Candace A. Wiggins

"The Lost Boy" (p.51-68) / Candace A. Wiggins
Events of "Yesteryear" (TAS) from the perspectives of the confused McCoy, adamant Kirk, and sorrowful Sarek as Kirk insists on pursuing his delusion of having had a first officer named Spock. In this version, Spock failed to save his childhood self and Kirk is forbidden to try to go back through the Guardian to retrieve him. Kirk persuades Sarek to do so; it is Sarek who drops the le-matya to save his son, and both Spock and Amanda are restored to him. Nice touch is that the bereavement is transferred to an Andorian couple who have lost their son.
"The Masque" (p.70-90) / Candace A. Wiggins
Star Wars story.
