Reactions and Reviews
Few of these stories have a solely sexual focus.Best stories are “Confined” by D.V.S, in which, with good characterization and surprisingly strong credibility, V is captured and sequestered by Alyce, a young woman who's decided C is unworthy of his love, and who is serenely confident that if she holds him captive long enough, he'll come to agree with her, and love her.
Also good is Sarah Connor's “Before the Dawn,” in which new lovers V & C find the bond won't let them escape a lust-driven mutual haze in which they can't sleep or take any interest in the rest of their lives...not, in this story, a delightful prospect, as some zine writers seem to find it.
Arwin Bauer's “Sents-ually Yours” is a first-time story set off by C's purchase of a new perfume which instantly strips [pun intended] V of all his inhibitions.
There's a recovery-of-C-by-magic story (Arwen Bauer & Guinn Berger's “Love's Price”), and a 3rd-season-was-all-a-dream story (Guinn Berger's “A Nightmare's Just a Dream with an Attitude”), as well as all-purpose Classic.
Karen Morgia contributes “A Time of Decision,” a fantasy story in which V is drawn into another world, where magic rules and he's a king's heir.
Also fiction by Andrea Dumasius, Jackie Kapke, Judy Keller.
Good poetry by Gloria DeLeon, Arwen, Pat Leslie, Arwen Bauer.
Excellent art by Sandy Chandler Shelton; also art by Dumasius, Kapke, Leslie, Teri Milliman. Quite a lot of clip art, borders, but the wordage remains substantial.[1]
