Reactions and Reviews

Higher quality production than usual for Frisky Business, with one sweet Due South story 'The Straight and Narrow' by Jeannie Marie (to the best of my knowledge the first ever printed in a zine), and definitely worth the purchase price, especially if you also enjoy X files (good story by Cody Nelson) and a few other fandoms.

The only place I've seen E/R fiction advertised is in the Frisky zines; try there for a listing. I've only read one (Beach Blanket Frisky, maybe?) but it was long, had plot, and wasn't at all bad. [2]
