Reactions and Reviews: Issue 1

This zine contains two Pros stories, both by Kathy Keegan. In the Mood is not really my cup of tea - the lads are too far out of character as I see them in the episodes for me to relate to them very well, and I can't help but read them in an Australian accent too! Birds of Ill Omen I found slightly easier going, but again, not quite the lads as I know them. There is also a piece of "B/D fantasy" art by Baravan, which was unfortunately not in the copy of the zine that I saw. Otherwise, "Full Circle" is made up of stories from eight or nine other fandoms, none of which I have read, however, as I'm strictly mono-fandom! As far as I know, the Professionals stories at least aren't officially available outside this zine, so what the zine is worth to you may all depend on how big a Kathy Keegan fan you are!"[1]

Issue 4

From the editorial:
Just a few words from me this time... because they're mostly explanations and excuses anyway! This is the first time I've ever did a zine that was about six months late. The reasons for that lateness are mostly down to luck. Ask Dame Fortune why, oh why, I chose this of all years to float a small business with my brother? Nut Hatch was on a bit of a roll, and in my complacency, I thought, what the heck, it's like paying for itself these days (and I wince as I say this) took my life savings and invested almost the lot in the new business... And Nut Hatch promptly decided to lobotomize itself. We took a big, big loss at MediaWest. No one is to blame, but we sent about 80 zines, mostly copies of a gen media zine, and they just did not sell well. I'd depended on those sales to print the new zine (this one), and the fund didn't materialize. WIth all of my own money invested, I had nothing to fall back on, save for sales of existing shelf stock! And that was the moment where zine sales decided to hit an all-time low. It gets worse! In a shrewd (?) attempt to get printing costs down, I 'bought in' with Karen, a part-share in a copier. It was supposed to enable me to lower our cover prices, and so help to boost sales. The reality was it broke down every 5000 copies, and with paper, toner and repair bills, the copy cost was up to about 13 cents per page!... The next issues are going to be later again, because of the very, very slow rate at which zines sell these days. Yes, yes, I'll continue to do the zines, but if I'm to fund them, first my little business has to stop being a money pit, and get into profit. Either, that, or folks out there have to start buying zines again, which given the current bite of the economy is a tall order.

B/D Outtakes

Full Circle B/D Outtakes is sometimes known as Full Circle Collected. It was published in 1995 and containing 280 pages of Pros fiction from other "Full Circle" anthologies.

  • In the Mood by Kathy Keegan. It began as a bet between Bodie and Murphy, that Murph could seduce Ray Doyle. But Ray gets the truth from Murphy one way and another, and what follows might have been revenge but, in the tangled-web fashion, goes its own sweet way. Strange how romance begins.
  • Birds of Ill Omen by Kathy Keegan. Bodie and Doyle wake up in the same bed after a wild party. Their hangovers are boundless and they don't recall a thing of the previous night. That's bad enough, but what really wreaks havoc is that this morning, Penny and Samantha remember being proposed to last night! All at once the lads are engaged to be married ... and they don't remember a thing. Help!
  • Pandora's Toybox by Shawn Gedge - crossover with Lethal Weapon.
  • For Personal Reasons by Madelaine Ingram. Cowley sends Bodie after his partner when Doyle resigned from the department. 3/7 finds himself in the midst of a scenario he never imagined ... a Yuletide story to bring out again at mid-winter!
  • Blood and Iron by Barbara Jones - crossover with Highlander (movie). Connor McLeod is back in England, this time to buy a home in the wilds of Scotland. Bodie and Doyle are invited to visit, and they eagerly travel north ... so, uninvited, does the Kurgan.
  • When the Blue Wave Rolls Nightly by Trish Darbyfeld. Bodie and Doyle enjoy a first-time encounter -- with a waterbed!
  • Boundaries by Dee. Not-so-random happenings awaken Ray Doyle to just how his partner feels about him, and the lid is off. It's wonderful ... until it goes wrong. Misunderstanding and discord threaten to split the partners, perhaps forever. It's one of those times when the patience for which Bodie isn't often celebrated, but should be, is a key to survival!
  • The Human Factor by Barbara Jones - crossover with Highlander (movie). A new gun runner is at work in England, dealing in superior weapons, supplying warzones in Africa and SE Asia, and banking in Zurich. He's a gentleman, if you stretch a point: the Mercedes, the Belgravia penthouse, the emerald rings all fit the profile. Only one thing. He's seven feet tall, and he just might be head-hunting in London this season, as well as making a fortune in illegal arms. Where is Connor MacLeod when you need him? Bodie and Doyle wonder if they're biting off more than they can chew this time. They're about to take on the Kurgan -- alone.
  • Flareup by Jane (published in Full Circle 4). Ann Holly is back in town, and she's in big, big trouble. Who else shall she turn to for help but Ray Doyle? And just when Bodie and Doyle thought life can't get any tougher, it does.

Proposed Highlander Outtakes

The editorial in Firesigns and Other Stories mentioned that a Highlander Full Circle Outtakes zine was planned. This zine was never published.
