Starstone (about)
A fanzine containing amateur fiction set on Marion Zimmer Bradley’s Darkover. We would not ordinarily extend our coverage to a magazine of this type, but a number of these stories were later reprinted in the Darkover anthologies published by DAW Books and their prior appearances have never been documented.
