Reactions and Reviews
"Kerrano" by Willa Shakespeare is the longest story in the zine at over 50 pages. You are told right away that this is an a/u story based on Edmond Rostand's Cyrano de Bergerac, a story which I dearly love. However, I'm not that crazy about the B7 version of the story. This might have been much better shorter. Avon is the main character in this, and I am not an Avon fan. As for A/B, they don't even kiss until about page 48 of the story, although Avon has sex with other people during the story.[1]
Right - so, some complicated feelings about this too. Essentially, it is too long and repeats too much of the show. When it veers away from the show it is astonishingly lovely. But you have to get through thousands and thousands of words of stuff you already know to get to that. The conceit is amusing, but not amusing enough. But stick with it - because the ending is a lovely Willa Shakespeare special (i.e. full of feelings and good dialogue and sex).[2]
