KOZ was one pseud for a well-known fanartist and writer also known as Paulie and Peej. Generally, Paulie was the name she used more often in early works, and KOZ for later works.

She was a frequent collaborator with TM Alexander. Occasionally, joint art was credited under the name "TAPA." KOZ and TM Alexander also created and popularized the fandom, Kiefer/Lou.

KOZ was one of the most prolific fan artists in print zines.

KOZ/Paulie's 1978 persona, "Pailuen G'moeril" from Fleet #24

She was the publisher of Otter Limits Press/The Presses and illustrated many zines. KOZ was a self taught artist, having used Walter Foster books and Cañedo's Book of The Figures to train herself in drawing. She became involved in media fandom in 1988 and worked within many fandoms, such as The Sentinel and X-Files, Starsky & Hutch, Miami Vice, The Man From U.N.C.L.E. and 21 Jump Street, illustrating both gen and slash. Her romantic slash work won much attention and praise for her distinctive artstyle.

"I have always enjoyed putting the words of talented fan authors into an art form by illustrating their fiction."

Outside of fandom-circles, KOZ was also a published author, producing Relevance (The Magarelli Series Book 1) in 2013 under her pseud PJ Morvant-Alexander on Amazon.

While the pseud KOZ had a personal website that went down around 2000 or 2001, she had another personal website for PJ Morvant-Alexander here. Also see her Goodreads page: P.J. Morvant-Alexander (Author of Relevance), ^{Archived version}.

In the late 1990s, KOZ's fanart site stated: "She expects to enjoy a long and productive fannish illustrating career." And she did!

KOZ passed away in 2017 at the age of 69.

Fan Clubs

Paulie founded and ran the 1979 club, The Friends of Sapient Beasties.

She was a member of United Federation of Planets and Starfleet Command, Inc..

Conventions

Paulie, along with Karen B and Jean C. was one of the founders of Zebra Con.

cover of the 1990 Zebra Con program book, was used as the con's t-shirt as well

Paulie and Karen had been involved as editors of Fleet (1976-1978) and United Federation of Planets Newsletter (1976-?).

In 1979, she included this statement in the very first Zebra Con program book:

I went to my first science fiction con, T'Con, on Paul Michael Glaser's birthday in 1978. That's when I got the idea -if people would come together to celebrate writers and actors of science fiction, fantasy, and horror films, why couldn't someone try to put together a con for people who have loved and devotedly watched a TV show about two cops for four years? Starsky & Hutch fandom, although I've been an SF fan since a toddler, hit me like a ton of bricks. From start to finish, I was hooked, T'Con was responsible for me finding my very first S&H fanzine Zebra Three. In speaking to the people involved with the zine I found that there were hundreds of people buying them. I put my fingers to my head, and I said - If lots of people would buy a zine about S&H, wouldn't at least a few come to a con? Well, at least a few of you have. And to those of you who have, or have supported us in other ways, have a marvelous time, enjoy, and remember, it's for our guys in the blue sneakers and the bowling shirts!

Your tired, but thoroughly fulfilled, Fearless Leader, Paulie

A Fan of Fan Casting

Fan casting (sometimes fan cast, dream casting or fantasy casting) is the practice of speculative casting, suggesting actors, characters, or other individuals to play characters without canonical real-life versions (for example, characters from a book, a cartoon, or a radio drama).

KOZ/Paulie Gilmore created many fan casted characters.

• 
  some 1997 fan casting for Gemini
• 
  some 1998 fan casting for Broken Wings
• 
  from a 1980 issue of Facets: "[The person] wearing the SW T-shirt is not Harrison. It's Lincoln Ford, twin brother of Dodge Ford, both HF clones that Paulie has invented. There is a story about each of them and if interest is shown, Paulie might be persuaded to do a small write up on them for us. Show of hands, please?"
• 
  two characters of The Fan Casting|many fan casted ones from the 1995 zine, Achates' Quest, Alan Rickman as Laan Mackrin and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio as Tasia
• 
  from Wild Cards #3, Daniel Jackson and Ra, the latter appears to be a fan-casted Duncan MacLeod) (Stargate SG-1)
• 
  from Sea of Solaris, a fan casted Walter Skinner and Elf AU Fox Mulder (1996)
• 
  from T'n'T, original slash, portrays a fan-casted Kiefer Sutherland and David Duchovny from Wild Cards #5 (1997)

Fan Comments

1980

Paulie's illos [in ReVisions (multimedia and Star Wars zine) #3], though unfortunately sparse, were very good, and I hope to see more of her work in future issues.

1991

Many of you are, no doubt, familiar with the art of KOZ. This artist has appeared in many fanzines in the last three years: our own Rose Tint, City of Byzantium, Dyad, Professional Dreamer, Chalk & Cheese, Miami Spice, and many more. Her definitive romantic style is known in such fandoms as U.N.C.L.E., Professionals, Miami Vice, and now Jump Street. She has made a name for herself in the "/" genre and we're happy to have her represented here.

2008

I also underwent my first serious editor abuse here, from Tami and Paulie, on their Rose Tint My World series: they sent me notes requesting that I change from using character names so often and use more epithets instead. So Napoleon and Illya vanished for awhile, and the older agent and the blonde man became pretty dominate in my writing. After all, the editors made the suggestion, and the editors did know best...and I was too new to know what a horrible suggestion it was, and how badly this would screw up my writing over the next few years.

2012

But the true art of making a fanzine, perfecting this, I learned from, her name was Paulie, and she had been doing fanzines since the seventies. She did zines like, "The Jelly Baby Chronicles," which was Doctor Who, based on Tom Baker's Doctor Who. She did some Starsky and Hutch zines, "Blond Blintz Bulletin" and "Dirtball Dispatch." And she had also done a lot of illustrations for zines, in fact, that's how I actually met her, was one of those zines my friend gave me, or a couple of them actually, had Paulie's artwork in it. And I didn't know if Paulie was a guy or a girl. And I really loved the art, and when I went to MediaWest*Con, and I saw this dealer's table with these zines on it and saw Paulie's work on the cover, I said, “I love this Paulie guy's artwork!" And this woman behind the table said, "Well, thank you," And I look at her and I see her badge and I went, like, "You're Paulie?"... And that kind of started, we started a friendship then... I had submitted some Starsky and Hutch art to another publisher a year before, and was horribly rejected, and was, "I'm never going to do this again." So I meet Paulie, and she's looking for submissions, of art and stories. And at that time I wasn't thinking my stories were going to be published, but I had my art. And she's like, "Well, would you like to illustrate? Do you have any art to show, can I look at your art?" And I had some drawings with me, and showed them to her, and she said, "How would you like to illustrate for my zine?" And I was like, "Wow, sure!" So she sent me a story, and it was my first time ever finding out how that aspect worked, you know.
