* JustHereForGodzilla: The second book commonly isn’t seen as good as the first, with people usually buying it for Nichelle Nichols doing SlashFic, or having the first genderswap fic ever.

* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: In the first book, there’s Gene Roddenberry has a message of stunned gratitude for the creative expressions of the fans:
--> We were particularly amazed when thousands, then tens of thousands of people began creating their own personal Star Trek adventures. Stories, and paintings, and sculptures, and cookbooks. And songs, and poems, and fashions. And more. The list is still growing. It took some time for us to fully understand and appreciate what these people were saying. Eventually we realized that there is no more profound way in which people could express what Star Trek has meant to them than by creating their own very personal Star Trek things.
--> Because I am a writer, it was their Star Trek stories that especially gratified me. I have seen these writings in dog-eared notebooks of fans who didn't look old enough to spell "cat." I have seen them in meticulously produced fanzines, complete with excellent artwork. Some of it has even been done by professional writers, and much of it has come from those clearly on their way to becoming professional writers. Best of all, all of it was plainly done with love.

* JustHereForGodzilla: The second book commonly isn’t seen as good as thefirst, with people first. Most of the stories in it were written by professionals or by Marshak and Culbreath and their very exclusive inner circle. People usually buying buy it for Nichelle Nichols doing SlashFic, or having Nichols' "Surprise!", which she intended as Spock/Uhura but to which Marshak and Culbreath added gratuitous SlashFic elements. Or they're after "The Procrustean Petard," the first genderswap (and last) professionally published GenderSwap fic ever.
(there were, of course, many such stories, to the point that when Lee Burwasser wrote one for ''Masiform D'' in 1975 he titled it "Here We Go Again").

In some ways it's a real TakeThat to Roddenberry's misogynistic assumptions in the original show.
