Reactions and Reviews

1994

Pella's last adherent plots to restart the Seskas and Hommiks using Vila, Tarrant and Avon's genetic material; Dayna and Soolin save them. Not bad. [1]

I liked "The Last Seska" very much; in fact, it's one of my favorites in the zine. I always thought the Seska had been written off far too quickly, so I welcomed Luxia and her little scheme. I actually felt rather sorry for her. Some of the dialogue is wonderful, especially Vila's grilling a malleable Avon on where he's hidden the good hooch! It might have been interesting if Dayna and Soolin had actually accepted Luxia's offer to make them Seska as well. [2]

2015

(A and T and V/essentially OFC) This is not a bad plot - although anything to do with the Seska is a bit Ben Steedy, though having Soolin and Dayna around (being superior to men/rescuing men, but not in a shit way) really helps. Very non porny (i.e. it's a porn plot but we fade to black when the sex starts!) - which is also something to mention about most of the stories in this zine, or at least of the ones that I read. Which is fine, actually, and I think old fandom should do more of it (where appropriate) - but it's interesting. [3]
