Photo of a paper with submission requirements from "Not Tonight Spock #4". There's also a pull out illustration of Kirk peeking out from behind the zine that I didn't feature. It's very NSFW but not a highlight for me compared to some of the illustrations I've shared in previous threads so I didn't focus on it here. It is the main illustration featured in this issue. Letterzines aren't fanart heavy though the Not Tonight Spock series does seem to have some more graphic design effort than some letterzines I've seen.
