On the last page (pg. 17) after the last story, is this, which I assume is from the editor: "Afterward: Somewhere in depths of space, beyond the blue event horizon, outside Known Space, on the other side of the final frontier lies the "Rebel's Return", if you make a close orbit of Space City, turn second left of Freedom City, following the Yellow an asteroid belt on the edge of an interdimensional rift where, capacity for alcohol and bad puns, you will find "the Rebel's Return". Welcome friend. What are you drinking?
I remember... T'was in the Spring of '80 when one of the perpetrators of this fanzine wrote to another on the subject of pen names, one of which had led to another via the medium of the SF bar stories of Sprague de Camp and Fletcher Pratt. (No. No. Those are real names.) Hey, came the inspired reply. Why don't we write some B7 Bar Stories, It's author then proceeded to forget her 'brilliant' idea until, two weeks later, in the bar of a certain spiritual twin of "the Rebel's Return', (not all that far from Farringdon Tube Station) yet another soon-to-be regular of Lil's establishment produced the Format for the Tales...and the first of the bar stories was written that night. Oh, what have we done? Don's answer that. There are still many Untold Tales of the Rebel's Return and I am sure that you, friend, can help record them for us - puns, in-jokes an' all. If you find your way there, and someone should tell you a story, don't let the rest of us miss it. Send your communication to: The LPF [address redacted].
