A Submission Request

From a flyer in Blake's Doubles #2:

THE NAUGHTY BITS -- an adult zine with DOCTOR WHO, BLAKES 7, and BUCKAROO BANZAI as main focus-but other genres will be considered. No slash, please-it makes my Great Dane hiccup. Anticipated publication date is Spring/Summer 1989. I'm looking for stories and art that are unusual, slightly off the beaten track. Angst, humor, Delta-bashing-you name it, I want it! When submitting stories and art, please send copies, not originals, as we all know what lurks within the bowels of the U.S. Postal Service. I also ask that all written submissions be typed-my wife, who is an RN, can read anyone's handwriting, but I am not so fortunate.

Reactions and Reviews: Issue 2

The plot: Liz Sharpe and Pat Nussman are mysteriously transported from Chicago to Domo and outbid Servalan for Avon, and Pat gets to sleep with him — no explicit details, though! In general I find this kind of self-conscious story very witty and enjoyable, though I've also seen some that I didn't like - example: The Visitors by Mary Moulden, in Alternative Seven #7). [1]
