Author's Notes
"A Freedom Party ex claims to be Blake's forgotten love. Is he what he seems?... Strictly for Blake freaks and/or those into rebel ideology. [1]
Reactions and Reviews
This is an effective way to use an original character: fill in the gaps in Blake's past and show us more about Blake's desperate need for love and memory. The twist that Yevgeny isn't what he seems is very well done. [2]
I like the way you have been publishing a little 'funny' after the LoCs. It's good that you have 'adult' stories as well as 'sex' stories in TOS, if you grasp my point, for example 'The Haunting' didn't really grab me but certainly was intelligent and thoughtful in its approach to rebel 1ion/terrorism. I wonder if the PLO and IRA would see themselves as the Blake's Seven of this time? Bryn's stuff is always thoughtful. [3]
"Strictly for Blake freaks and/or those into rebel ideology" sounds like the exact kind of story I would love to read and indeed it was. It treats both the romance and politics in the story in the same specific dark and melancholic way that I find very fitting for this show, and it gave me the same feeling that I often have when reading about some revolutionary groups and societies of the past: you know for certain that it will go to shit, but you want to believe it wouldn't. The OC is damn good - and I definitely appreciate well-written OCs - and your talent in writing female characters also shines, I really enjoyed this Jenna and her friendship with Blake. Overall, it was the story that got me interested in your fics, and it was definitely worth it, because you are one of the most original and talented people even in the fandom that has an unusually high number of original and talented writers.
