Author's Comments
How much can you say about someone else's characters? You can put them into other universes, make them into other characters, but when they are no longer recognizably Bodie and Doyle, you've lost the half of your audience who only want to read Pros, and you might as well put new faces and bodies on them and try to sell the story somewhere. Sometimes, I get irritated by the constraints. That's about the time I start yelling 'alternate universe, alternate universe!' I have to say that I've been very, very gratified by the way readers are beginning to take to Eddie and Sasha. Nearly everyone who has read "Fas de Deux" has made a positive response to the characters. [1]
Reactions and Reviews
1988
[comment by [D V S]: 'Pas de Deux' does not suffer from this aura of detachment [that Samurai does]. The new characters, Eddie and Sasha, are well drawn and interesting. More fascinating, however, is the hinted-at relationship between Bodie and Doyle and the clues as to who these men are in this universe. If Fanny will take her time and write with the skill she has developed, this series would be her best work yet. [2]
[response by the author to [D V S]: I'm sorry you didn't like "Pas de Deux." My caveat at the beginning of the story was intended to warn off readers like yourself who want "to read Bodie and Doyle, not two other characters." Let me be perfectly frank with you and anyone else who had a similar response. Don't bother to read any more in the Fox and Wolf universe. You won't like it. [3]
1993
... a lovely strange set of stories by Fannie Adams where Bodie spent the years 14-19 as the lover of a Japanese hit man in Japan. Though nominally B/D most of the stories focus on Doyle's ex-lover Eddie and the modern dancer he falls in love with). I got a copy of the last third from [B], and promptly made copies for other friends. I don't know how many steps it had gone through to get to [B], but my copy is already fairly fuzzy. Any chance that you'd be willing to give an electronic copy to me so that I could make it available on e-mail? (I just realized that this presupposes that you did type it on a computer, and looking at the type face in my mind, it looks a lot like it was type written. [4]
