Fan Comments

In [one] story in the purple zine, not only do they have tea with their adopted daughter's stuffed animals, but at one point in the story, Doyle decided to cut off a bad guys penis and *mail* it to the man's boss.

It's the juxtaposition that [is] horrific to me..... [1]

Now, keeping in mind how I feel about sweet romance and strolling hand in hand into the sunset (unless it's a space story and the sunset will fry them dramatically and tragically, of course), one of my most hated zines in the entire fannish world is the one known as The Purple Pros(e) Zine. Don't know the real title of the zine, but it's the Purple Pros(e) Zine that has the story with Bodie's sister the Sister, the orphans and Our Lads putting on voices for their stuffed animals' tea party.

I'd been telling her about The Tea Party (complete with soft-boiled eggs and "soldiers", not to mention CI5 and other security forces hardmen going round roughing up people for Not Being Kind To Children) and naturally enough, she didn't believe. Quotes and descriptions went back and forth for *weeks* about this, off and on. You know, just when I'd lulled her into a false sense of security of thinking I'd let the subject drop, I'd tell her something else, she'd shriek in horror and dismay, and say, noooo, couldn't be! (this was before she really got into Due South fandom, which has cured us *all* of ever saying 'noooo, couldn't be!" But *that's* another thread!) [2]
