Another item of interest in the first issue of Spockanaliawas "The Territory of Rigel," a Ni Var poem by Dorothy Jones. She explained the poem as follows: "'Ni Var' literally means 'two form,' and it is basically a piece comparing and contrasting two aspects of the same thing."

But thehighlight of Eridani Triad2, was the article, "The Vulcan Love Story, or Being in Pon FarrMeans Never Having to Say You're Sorry," by Doris Beetem. This witty article analyzed all the fanzine stories written and published that had the same general plot:that is, girl-meets-Spock, girl-beds-Spock. The article attributed Spock's attraction to the theory that Spock fit the "Gothic Hero" prototype in romantic fiction, and asserted that therefore it was natural for fans to fantasize about Spock along those lines (and to write up their fantasies as stories).
