Roo is a prolific fan artist from the UK.

Roo's art appeared in print zines. She focused mostly on Star Trek but also did some work with The Professionals as well.

Roo also wrote a few poems.

This artist illustrated some very high-profile stories, such as This Deadly Innocence, or "The End of the Hurt/Comfort Syndrome" by Leslie Fish and A Lesson in Perspective by Connie Faddis.

This Roo is not the same fan as the writer at Roo's Writings.

Sample Art

Traditionally, British print zine fandom did not have the emphasis on fanart that American zines did. This means that there is less art, and as a result, less fan commentary as well.
