Summary

This zine is the first in a trilogy that rewrites the events of the 3rd season from the point where Vincent jumps on the car in his attempt to rescue Catherine. In this story line the rescue is successful and he brings her Below to recover. Her amnesia keeps her from remembering him or their life — together, or the fact she is pregnant. Vincent decides she is better off without him and removes any trace of himself from her life Above. Events build from there and take you through their reconciliation to the birth of their child.[1]

Zine History

Judith is a New Zealand fan who found the show when it first aired there in 1988. Her zine, How Shall I Hold My Soul, the first in her SND, 6-zine arc, was written in the early 1990‘s. She sold her zines snail-mail back in the day, but slowly lost touch with fandom over the years.

In 2013, through Facebook, Judith reconnected with several long-lost BatB friends who showed her the way to Winterfest Online. She has also returned to writing fan fic, with new stand-alone stories posted in The Library, and is now at work on zine #7 in this SND series.

The Crystal Rose Lending Library owns copies of only the first two zines in the set. WFOL Finally Online is pleased to present this hard-to-find series in its entirety.
