From the Editorial by Elaine
Two years ago we did "Don't Give Up On Us, Baby", which was chock full of wonderful romantic S&H first-time stories, in the "Who You Know, What You Know, & How You Know It" tradition (that was the previous zine we produced in 1983). Last year we produced "Leave A Light On For Me", which concentrated more on established-relationship stories. "Dance With the Devil", which you now hold in your hand, contains a nice variety of romantic stories, but with no specific theme this time. As always, though, they all have happy endings, because that is the way Lucy and I love to read them. Okay, call us hopeless romantics! We have wonderful stories in this issue and get to visit some old friends. "One More Time" is a sweet story by Lucy from Dobey's point ofview. Lucy, the most prolific writer I've ever known, also has an interesting variety ofother stories in this issue, some long and some very short, but all powerful. We have two stories from wonderful writers new to us this time. "Happily Ever After" by Windrain shows us our heroes as older men, dealing with the powerful ramifications of a parent's death. "After Hours" by Morgan LeFey gives us a chance to meet Sugar again after all these years. I always loved Sugar! We also have wonderful artwork in this issue, and we gratefully thank our artists for allowing us to use their illustrations. The visual impact of illos in a story cannot be underestimated.
From the Editorial by Lucy
As exciting as real life has been, my passion for Starsky and Hutch has not dimmed. This zine is a bit different for us. As Elaine mentioned there was no theme this time, but a variety to the stories gives it texture. From canon based, all the way to present day, it is still a celebration ofthe love and commitment Starsky and Hutch have for each other that is timeless and enduring. So much like the friendships this avenue of entertainment has allowed me personally. When I think about it, and look forward to ZCon this year, I'm reminded that I've known some of you for decades. And though we've lost some ranks in recent months, the friendships and love is still shining. And I, for one, am better for the light.
