From the Zine

'Rosebuds' presents stones from unusual sources, dealing with couples you may not have considered before, or genres you may have missed. Perhaps these 'darling buds' will bloom into fully fledged fandoms for you - we hope so.

The play on the word 'rosebud' is deliberate and made your editors smile at least, since the word is often used to describe a fundamental orifice in slash fiction!

Any errors in the German herein is our fault entirely and not the responsibility of our indefatigable translator, Katherina Korge. Thank you Katherina. we really couldn't have done it without you.
