Once and Forever is an undated 79-page V/C/Other het fiction anthology by Catherine Edwards. The zine is on heavyweight stock & spiral-bound. It contains nine stories about Catherine/Vincent and friends.
Some of the stories in "Once and Forever" are continuations of stories that appeared in the author's other B&B fanzine, Overtures.
The Editorial
I've always tried to make it a policy to not write an editorial when I didn't have anything to say. I'm trying to remain true to that policy, so I'll just say my piece and sign off.Like many of you, I've come to love the Beauty and the Beast characters like they were members of my family—fictional members, but members nonetheless. Writing stories about them has been one of the most enjoyable pastimes of my life, and sharing those stories with you, my readers, has been just as wonderful. This zine was, in many ways, a very emotional experience for me — saying hello to new friends, saying goodbye to others. Writing Once and Forever took me from All about Eve to Full Circle — all the way back home again. I hope reading it does the same for you.
Safe journeys.

Reactions and Reviews
From the Crystal Rose Lending Library:
Series of light-hearted Classic stories, some of which refer to characters and situations from Edwards' "Overtures" zines. (It is not necessary to have read "Overtures" first.) In "All About Eve," the reader learns more of the story of Eve, the woman Catherine was consoling during the pilot episode. In "The Play's the Thing," the tunnels put on a community play. "Training Wheels" is the humorous story of Mouse learning to drive. "Fighting Fair" details Vincent's first time watching "Casablanca." Other stories continue the story of Pascal and Ruth Ann (a character from "Overtures,") the aftermath of a pillow fight, and the wedding of Vincent and Catherine's daughter. [1]
