Issue 1

The Mendaris Connection 1 was published in May 1991 and contains 105 pages.

The editorial:

Welcome to the first installment of the Mendaris Connection, a full length story printed in two parts mainly because my stapler couldn't cope with the whole thing in one go! This story is set in third season B7. I don't want to give away too much of the plot, but those of you who enjoy a good "wallow" should enjoy this one, as should those of you who have a thing about the relationship between Avon and Cally, and who also like it when Tarrant is being a bit of a pain. Plus for you fanatical Avon fans out there, a mysterious man from Avon's past puts in an appearance....

If you want to know more... buy the zine!

The editorial:

Welcome to the second installment of the Mendaris Connection, a full length story printed in two parts mainly because my stapler couldn't cope with the whole thing in one go! This installment is a direct sequel to part one, and picks up the story after the Liberator's departure from the alien space station in the Mandivan Zone. I could do a quick re-cap here of what occurred in part one, but I don't want to spoil things for those of you yet to read it! This installment ties up one or two loose ends from the previous one, sees the Federation make an attempt to capture Liberator, and sees Servalan bite off a little more than she bargains for in the Mendaris Star System. If you want to know more - buy the zine and read on!

To those of you feverishly scribbling away at your own "epics" and looking for somewhere to get them printed, please feel free to send your work to me at the address at the bottom of the page. If I like your story and it is in excess of 50 pages, I may well print it as a zine in its own right. I will gladly consider shorter stories for inclusion in my - I hesitate to use the word "regular" since my production schedule is anything but "regular" B7 zine Rebel, of which there are currently several issues in print. Remember, you get a free copy of any zine in which your work appears! Keep Fighting the Federation! - Tasha
