Reactions and Reviews: Issue 1
Here's something I had been looking for for ages. There is also a second issue, but I still haven't seen that. Unfortunately I didn't actually have time to read the zine and so can't comment on quality, but it's nicely produced and looks fairly promising. I did solve one little mystery pertaining to adult zines. I'd been told that C. K. Smith (author of Moondisc Melancholia/One Waits, two novellas published as a standalone zine) had done an adult Avon/Soolin story, but I couldn't find it. That must be the "Epilogues to 'Tis the Season," offered separately by mail from the author, according to a note after the story. [1]

Reactions and Reviews: Issue 2
This was a very strange experience, because as I read the zine, it dawned on me that I had read it before!! In particular, I remembered the story about Servalan's nanny. It must be one of the ones that I read early on, when I had only just discovered B7 and was borrowing zines from several different friends and plowing through them at breakneck speed. The cataloguing project was not even a gleam in the eye at that point, and if anyone had suggested that I do such a thing, I would have been horrified at the thought of so much work! A little at a time, that's the secret, and one that I will apply to other projects in the future. I also vaguely remember the cover, a nice drawing of Tarrant lying in the wreckage of Scorpio. This has always been one of my favorite images of the dear boy. Hmm, maybe I should do favorite "hurt" moments for each of the crew, for my part of the gush fest. :) [2]
