Susan Cutter is a prolific Blake's 7 fan author and poet who was most active in the mid-to-late 1990s and early 2000s.
Her writing was awarded multiple Fan Q and STIFfie awards.
Fanfiction
Susan is best known for her adult stories, which feature a hugely inventive range of pairings, both het and slash (favourite pairing is perhaps Avon/Tarrant), as well as gen.
The story ('A Dream') is responsible for Sarah Thompson's coinage of the term "leafy het" to describe "the very strange dream sequence in which Dayna is ravished by the topiary bear!"[1]
Unusually, her writing frequently includes good roles for Dayna and Soolin, and she has also been praised for her original characters.
Most of her work was published in fanzines, including Angelfood, Dark Fantasies 6, Diverse Doings series, D.S.V. 3, Fire and Ice 4, Forbidden Star 2, Pressure Point, Southern Comfort 10.5, Southern Seven 11, Tales from Space City series, TTBA, and others.
She also published work on the Space City and Freedom City mailing lists.
Little is currently available online, but Susan has one story archived at Hermit Library and another at the TTBA archive.
