Cross-Currents is a slash 164-page anthology of multifandom crossovers. It has art by Anja Gruber.
From the Editorial
CROSS-CURRENTS is a multi-media, cross-universe "/" zine. That means each story involves characters from at least two tv show or movies interacting with one another. There are 20 different fandoms represented herein (not counting the plea from Napoleon Solo to James Bond on page 2!), many more combinations than I’d hoped for when first planning this zine.
Interest in this first issue has been high. I hope it continues and hope to have a second issue out eventually. This will only happen if you, the readers and writers, want it to happen and write for it. General guidelines are that characters from at least two tv shows and/or movies must be involved in each story; no undo violence; any rape story must be justified to the nth degree. Any questions, just write to me and ask. No deadline for a second issue is set; I’ll play it as it comes.
I am, of course, interested in feedback from my readers so please write and let me know if you enjoyed the zine, what pleased you, what did not (and I'm not interested in hearing about my typos... blah, blah, blah...).
I have to apologize for the absence of the sequel to Burning Blue, the PROS story from DYAD #15 I fondly refer to as the "RoboBodie” story, by Max Curry. The story will appear in either the second issue of CROSS-CURRENTS or in a future issue of DYAD and will involve the PROS with The 6-MILLION DOLLAR MAN. The story was finished on time but it’s long and there simply was no room in this issue. Sorry, Max.
