Reactions and Reviews: Issue 1

Thank you for sending "Carousel Tales" so quickly. After reading only a few pages, I knew you were on to a winner. This fanzine has a nice mix of stories. I like reading about other members of the community as well as the V&C stories. Sandra Deville, as usual, rose to the occasion, and produced her best work yet. Congratulations to all.
