Have you been wondering when we're going to stop talking about this thing and finally let you buy one?
We are pleased to announce that orders for The Zine Directive, our physical K/S fanzine, will open Wednesday, August 19th!
(What better way to celebrate Gene Roddenberry's birthday than a zine full of his characters being in love, right?)
If you want to be first to know when sales go live, please fill out this pre-registration form!
NOTE: This does not reserve you a copy or commit you to purchasing. We will send ordering information directly to your email when the date arrives.
Each copy of TZD will be $30 USD + shipping*, but...
