Reactions and Reviews
The last Nova story [in the zine] is "Prime Suspect," and it's a 6 page really weird PGP story. There is some nice interplay between Blake and Avon in this story. I can't remember now if they even kiss in this story. But that's okay. I don't need explicit sex or even any sex to like an A/B story.[1]
The other one that I don't like that much, mostly because its based in conceits I don't care for/things I don't think need to have wacky explanations - Avon shot Blake because of Anna, Blake didn't contact Avon for two series because he was sulking. Also - (in this fic) Avon's been raped as a child again (why always this??). The way the fic plays out with Blake meeting all of Avon's crew in turn is semi-interesting and the writing is strong, as always, but yes. There's a reason I keep forgetting what happens in this one.[2]
Another fic that I mostly forgot soon after reading. Blake playing detective was fun, and the resolution was deliciously wacky - but what I love about Nova is that she’s not afraid of wackiness. Orac bashing is probably the only sort of character bashing I can stand, and no, that’s not because it’s not alive, it’s because it’s such an asshole. (I like Orac anyway).[3]
