Twin Set was a 2-page, one-shot apazine published in August 1954 by Ken Slater for OMPA mailing #1 and FAPA 69. There were 130 copies

It was the first output of Slater's new Roneo 500 duplicator and on the first page the initial letters of each paragraph form an acrostic 'SF&FANTASY' in red with the rest of text in black. Page two includes commentary on the technical success of page one, together with a report of the (hoax) Twerpcon. Slater's reference to the convention happening on 'June 31st' may be a clue rather than a typo.
