Reactions and Reviews
So Easy to Give (A/B) -- Sebastian: A piece from Sebastian's early period, far less bleak than her later work. This is a simple PWP about Blake seducing Avon after a party, and in any other hands it would be a hopeless fluff. The quality of the writing makes it work, and makes it suggest a mood as well as just sex. Excellent illo by [Bryn].[1]
Predatrix’s review, already posted to Fanlore, describes this, 'Melancholy' (see - below), and whatever the one is in Other Side 3 as being from Sebastian's ‘optimistic’ period. I’d disagree – I think they’re from her unfocused period (except the OS3 one, which i love! More on that later). I absolutely adore ‘Bittersweet’ and ‘Cat’s Cradle’, which have cracking dialogue and a fantastic depiction of Blake and Avon as people who can’t live with or without each other. Yes, they do end up not together really in either CC or Bittersweet, but I don’t see that as pessimistic particularly, because they could still meet up again in easier times... (but probably Avon will just shoot Blake by accident...) [2]
I like 'So Easy To Give' for its authenticity. It's simple but just complex enough, and lyrical without being 'poetic'. And believable, which may be the main thing. [3]
My other favourite piece [in the zine] were Sebastian's “So Easy To Give”, which has a haunting melancholy flavour... [4]
