Summaries

From Media Monitor: "A Professionals fanzine featuring Agent 6.2... An exploration of the evolving relationship between Gavin and Murphy."

From Agent With Style: "In the intriguing tales in this zine, Atropos explores the backstory, needs and desires of this most mysterious of CI5 agents, who never tells anyone his first name!"

From Bill Hupe: "This pros "/" zine features agent 6.2 First there was Murphy's Law, now welcome back for a hot second helping of Murphy from Satyr D'Nite Press. A loving set of interconnected tales firmly planted in the CI5 universe. Doyle, Bodie and Cowley abound but the primary focus is always on Murphy. Illustrated."

Comments from the Author

I sent some of my Professionals universe, Murphy stories to Kath and Donna at Satyr d'Nite press. They'd edited one of my stories before and I'd really liked what they'd done with it. So I sent a whole parcel of stuff to the States with Jane in February. They wrote back and offered to publish them in a zine all of their very own! Well, as you can imagine I was really chuffed and really excited. Then I got the second letter saying that in order to be financially viable they'd need to get the zine out for MediaWestCon, which meant that their deadline was May the first. That in turn, thanks to the erratic post across the Atlantic, makes my deadline - yep, you've guessed, the 20th or 21st of April! I have been working really hard on the nine stories for about the last six weeks and the end is in sight. It's very satisfying seeing something like this take shape. At first I was convinced I couldn't do it but because the deadline was so tight I couldn't sit around angsting because I couldn't do this. I just got on and did it! I have half a dozen more scenes to finish in the last story (the one that I didn't think I could rework at all two weekends ago) and then sit back and bite my nails until I get the finished zine back and start spotting all the things I could have done differently!

Reactions and Reviews

Stories seem to feature M/Other male, B/C, M/B. Doesn't seem to be much of Doyle anywhere!
