Reactions and Reviews
"Perchance to Dream" by Theresa Kyle--Wow, what do you know: A plot! A *case* plot, even! It's a classic 'locked door' mystery: A young gay man is found naked and dead in bed in his locked apartment. Everyone including Starsky thinks it was suicide. Everyone except Hutch. Fair case plot and a pretty good story all the way around, the first-time scenario is actually secondary to what all else is going on. [1]

- ^ In 1997 Michelle Christian posted this review to the Virgule-L mailing list. As with most of her Virgule-L reviews, Michelle gave permission for fans to forward the review to any fan or mailing list that might be interested. The review was sent to the Starsky & Hutch mailing list, Venice Place where both the editor and her friends expressed deep dissatisfaction with both the content and quality of Michelle's review ("cavalier, dismissive, negative"). While the topic of reviews and feedback was not new to either mailing list (in fact many of the list members on both lists had been subscribers to Starsky & Hutch and Star Trek letterzines of the 70s and 80; letterzines which had thoroughly debated the topic), Michelle's review sparked multiple discussions over whether reviews should focus on the positive while deemphasizing the negative, whether average readers had the right credentials to offer up reviews and whether the wildly divergent expectations fans had of reviews - and each other - would ever find a meeting ground.
