From a submission request in Zine Scene:
The much-demanded sequel to the all-fifth-Doctor zine should be ready to go to press this fall with lots of delectable fiction. There'll be crossovers with Campion (by Jennifer Adams), Kill the Dead (by Jeff Morris), and Costner's Robin Hood (an Ayren Tabeth story by MaryAnn Johanson). We have Turlough fiction from Liz Shaw and Margaret Ruble and much more. Will contain some adult material.
