About the Series

When one of our fandom friends, Holdt, became terribly ill and had to be admitted to the hospital it was only the beginning of a difficult and fearful time for her and her family. The idea to help was born on one the yahoo groups Holdt belongs to and, like wildfire, it spread through fandom and helping hands were offered to put together these fanzines to help Holdt and her family so they can make it through this difficult phase of their lives. You will be treated to 3 slash and/or 1 gen zine packed with lots of wonderful stories and art, contributed by some of the best known writers of the fandom in both the slash and gen genre. In addition to the zines you will find a link in them to a vidding project we set up for Holdt to send her our love and to make more people aware of her situation and let everyone know how to help. Most stories rated 18. 12 pt Book Antiqua, .75 margins.
