From Fanlore, the fan run non-profit wiki about media fandom:

Nexus is a gen Star Trek: TOS fanzine anthology. There are six issues.

Several fan reviewers of the time refer to some stories as K/S; the contents skate really, really close to what fans today define as slash but were what fans in 1978 were defining as a relationship story, and perhaps what some would call pre-slash or simply smarm.

Issue 1

Nexus 1 was published in February 1978 and has 196 pages. The cover is by Gail Stark………

…..The zine also contained an ad for a writing contest. Winners would win a copy of Nexus #2. Entries were to be no longer than 5 pages single space typed and had to include the following paragraph:

Kirk watched with disbelief as Spock walked calmly into the turbolift. Clenching his fist against the mounting anger, Kirk stormed in after him. He waited for the lift doors to close before he spoke.“Just answer me one thing, Mr. Spock.” Kirk snapped. “Why the hell did you do it?”Spock turned, lifting one eyebrow in astonishment, “Captain,” he said indignantly, “I did not do it. It simply happened.”  Kirk looked at him in open mouthed surprise. He leaned against the side of the turbolift in shock. “Mr. Spock, your Vulcan logic never ceases to amaze me.”

Basically, more mixed-generation Star Trek fun. (First image can be found here.)

As with the other one, I didn’t correct the lighting to have the composites match in terms of a clear light-source, but OH WELL. Same shtick as before:

Kirk and Spock, made of combinations of actors past and present; Jim Kirk is a combination of William Shatner & Chris Pine, and Spock is a combination of Leonard Nimoy & Zachary Quinto.

i love this shit so much tbh when i read fic i don't even imagine any of the actors it's sort of like this a weird conglomeration of actors and ages and eras spirk kirk spock aos/tos mashup
