Reactions and Reviews

Here's another oldie from the same group that did "They Were Only Stunned". This one appears to have been written during the second series, judging from the stories and the ads for other zines. The photocopy I have also has a second cover or title page with a 4th- series publicity photo of Avon, but I'm assuming that was something that was put on later (either for a reprint edition, or by an owner of the zine); the typeface doesn't match. On that second cover it's explicitly described as "a 'get-Avon' zine." I continue to be amazed at how the desire to hurt the computer expert cropped up so early and so often! (I didn't describe "Consequence" as "A-hc" because in that one the hurt is pretty evenly distributed among the characters.)
