From the editorial:
Welcome to the first issue of "The Sherwood Tunnels" yes, I know it's #5; 1-4 went under the name "Who's Blake" for those who may never have picked up my fanzine before. To celebrate a name change I went a bit crazy and this is the biggest issue I dared print, I foridged [sic] the planet to find the most talented writers and artists in fandom for your reading enjoyment.[much snipped about the authors and stories]
Well enough of my rambling, please don't forget those LOC... I need input. Issue 6 due out fall/early winter so please submit now before it's too late. Any fantasy media considered... surprise me. I am looking for stories on a edge... fresh ideas ... romance, adventure, danger or just plain fun. Remember no slash or trash, so please if you have never submited [sic] to me before, now is the time -- believe me I don't bite. I am also taking pre-orders -- $5.00 to reserve your issue. Thank you for your support and see you in the winter or at Tunnel Con, I'm really looking forward to meeting all you "kind folks in the flesh."
REMEMBER!!! Cancellation is only the beginning.

The editorial:
Finally ...another issue finished. I so hope you enjoyed the collection of writings and art that was included in issue 8. It's been a very busy year, but I can't think of anything that I actually managed to get done? Oh well, what else is new. I have a wonderful group of friends to thank, as without them there wouldn't be a book.
Janet P. Reedman who kindly loaned me her word processor as well as sending me the wonderful story, and of course continues to offer her support towards my writings. You are a true friend, and I hope you will find what you are seeking across the ocean.
To Arlene G. Olivier for the pieces of art, I know [personal information redacted], Lucy & Daisy, thanks for the last minutes [sic] stories. Frances for the art and wonderful cover. Denyse Bridger for' your writings... and friendship. Ellen Squires for her last minutes editoring bf 'Blood runs dry' (isn't that a horrible title, sorry I couldn't think of anything else) If you enjoyed the story with Adrian and Brandan please let me know. This was my first attempt at creating my own characters and I am cur10US what everyone thought.
A big hug for everyone who send me their words and pictures, without you I wouldn't still be doing this. There are many times I need to be reminded why I still continue to put these books together. I must also thank Bill Hupe and Peg Kennedy for being willing to take over the printing and distribution of the books. I don't think there would have been an issue 8 without there kind offer. So everyone if you want any back issues, please write to Bill Hupe but if you want to summit or have views to share, write to me. I still hope to hear from everyone, I need to hear from you.
Well, that's it for now. As I mentioned before, please keep sending me submissions, anything goes, there has been a few very 1nteresting contenders in the wings lately. I would love to see more Nick Knight/Forever Knight, how about, Highlander? Kung Fu? Time Trax? Deep Space Nine? More crossovers, and of course don't forget, Robin of Sherwood, Star Trek Next Generation etc...
