Reactions and Reviews
1980
Less ambitious [than Beginnings ] but equally fine is ‘Still the Same,’ an account of what happened four years, six months and twelve days before Vanessa came home to roost in ‘Hutchinson for Murder One.’ It’s marked by Mel’s usual clean style and neat construction, by her clear reading of human motivation…. Another 10. [2]
...[I did not enjoy] Still the Same. I'm not sure why either; it's just as good as the writers in any of the zines. But it just wasn't my cup of tea. What can I say? [3]
"Still the Same” by Melanie Rawn is superb too. Vanessa is incredible and Hutch still caught up in her as much as he hates it -- and Starsky, quiet class!! [4]
1981
‘Still the Same,’ an early-partnership story; four years, six months and an odd number of days, according to the author, did not refer to the time since the Hutchinson’ divorced but since the Hutchinsons last drew blood. The story is intense, vividly described, multitextured, with several almost invisible plot currents running. One bit of Mel’s skill especially worth noting is how she makes use of her point of view: the story from Hutch’s pov portrays Starsky as being deliberately obtuse; from Starsky’s own pov his real sensitivity blazes out and we gather hints why he hides his spirit this way. The contrast is almost extraneous to the triangle plot, but it gives a lovely richness and sense of craft to the story. [5]
