Are you excited for the Terms of Service zine, but the prices have you nervous? You’re in luck! We’re hosting a giveaway from July 11 2022 to July 25 2022 (noon to midnight EST) where one lucky winner will receive a free copy of the zine, pdf, and all merch, along with a special extra prize! 

How It Works

The contest will run from 12PM EST July 11th to 11:59PM EST July 25th. Any entries submitted after 12AM EST July 26th will not be counted. 

To enter, you must a) follow @sttermsofservice on tumblr b) create a post tagging @sttermsofservice telling us what you’re most excited for about the zine c) include the hashtag #tossummergiveaway in the tags 

We will reblog your post, meaning your entry has been submitted (if your post is not reblogged within 3 days, please message it to us) 

On July 27th 2022 we will randomly select one winner. In order to be contacted in the event you win, you must have DMs open on this day. Once the individual is contacted and we have confirmation that they will receive their prize, we will reblog the winning post once more. In the event we cannot contact the winner within three days, we will select a new winner. 

And that’s it! Follow our blog, create a post for the zine tagging us, and use the correct hashtag. Note that you do not have to already be following us to enter the contest, you can follow and then make your post. Also note in the event that you do win, you will have to provide us with an email and mailing address so you can receive your prizes. 

Most of all, have fun with your posts! We’re excited to see what you’re excited about. 

In case you weren't aware, fanzines (including ours) are not illegal. They fall under fair use as long as there is no profit being made. For us, if we oversell our printing goal we already have plans to use any extra money to include extra merch items in the merchandise bundle, and the only "payment" editors and creators will receive is their own copies of the zine and merchandise. If fanzines were illegal, Paramount would've gone after the k/s ones when they first appeared. Please don't spread disinformation about this, as it discourages fanzines and encourages big media companies to send baseless cease and desist orders to people too poor or scared to fight them.

April Update!

Happy April everyone! We hope you're all doing well this year so far. As for us, we're well on our way with this project! Contributors have their first check in this month, and we'll start introducing our fabulous artists and writers later this month as well, so please be on the lookout! We're sure one of our talented contributors will be your absolute favorite, and they would love your support on this project.

Preorders will be opening in August 2022 for the zine! It will be approximately 175 - 200 pages long, and the merch bundle will include one 3 x 3 vinyl sticker, two 5.5 x 8.5 miniprints, and a 2 x 6 bookmark. We're tentatively hoping to sell the zine alone at $25 USD and the zine + merch at $35 USD, not including shipping. Our goal is to sell 150 (and if we oversell our goal, we might even be able to throw in a few more goodies!) so please mark your calendars!!

This zine will be preorder only, so start saving now! Preorders will be open from August 2022 to December 2022, with printing and shipping happening in early 2023.

As always, feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions! We hope you're as excited for this as we are, and can't wait to see the love you will shower on our brilliant contributors when we begin to introduce them! :)

Hi! There are various pairings. It is technically a McSpirk zine but we gave our creators liberty to interpret that how they wanted as long as the focus remained on the triumvirate, whether that was platonic or romantic. We have McSpirk, Spirk, no romance, and even a curve-ball Spock/Kirk/Sulu fic!

Do you love Star Trek? Do you love fanfiction? This is the zine for you!

The Star Trek: Terms of Service zine will be a triumvirate focused zine exploring through fanfiction, comics, and fanart the conflict between duty to Starfleet and duty to loved ones, the same conflict we see played out in Search for Spock.

If this interests you, as a creator or a consumer, follow both @sttermsofservice​ and the #star trek terms of service tag to keep up to date on zine timeline and information! Submission guidelines are being finalized and will be posted soon.
