Editor's Comments: "The Calling"

From a flyer:

To edit, you need to read the story carefully, watching for any misspellings, missing commas, etc. but when I proofing [sic] The Calling, it was so good, that I found myself getting lost in the story. I'd have to go back and read it again, but I really didn’t mind. <G> It’s a story that I wouldn’t mind reading over and over. It deals with the special Watcher/Slayer bond and is an alternate universe story taking place after Becomings.

Editor's Comments: "Anywhere But Here Series"

There is a return of the GASPer’s Anywhere But Here series where the readers put themselves into the main character’s place. Keina’s two stories The Ties that Bind and Reach Out and Touch, and JBG’s Dishes. Feel free to imagine yourself in their shoes (or out of them). <G>
