The Nimoy Factor was a Star Trek: TOS and Leonard Nimoy fan club founded and run by Diane Steiner.

It was a member of LNAF.

Its main activity appears to be the fanzine of the same name, The Nimoy Factor.

From 1972:

Hey, bubeleh, is there something missing from your life? There sure is, unless you belong to The Nimoy Factor. What are you missing? Only 5 fantastic issues a year, filed with fun and facts, fiction, poetry, cartoons and other silliness, artwork and articles about that special guy, Leonard Nimoy. If you like Len (and who doesn't) and Spock and Paris and Tevye and... well, this could go on forever, but you get the idea. Can you live without "The Nimoy Factor" when you can enjoy [it] for just $2.50 a year? That's four zines and a big yearbook -- each graced by some of fandom's best. Issue #1 features Ruth Berman, Greg Jein, Karen Flanery, Music Green, Alan Andres and many more. Need I say more? [1]

Diane Steiner wrote in 1973:

I heard that "The Nimoy Factor" got a mention in the "Monster Times." Would someone tell me what was said. "Monster Tines" is really hard to find here and I don't subscribe to it, obviously.[2]
