Reactions and Reviews
Author's Note: This is a warning to anyone who cares to heed it. The "POV" in this story, as usual, bounces around with as much determination as those tennis balls at Wimbledon — to borrow a slick phrase from a reviewer. In my S/H stories, everyone has balls! This is a great series and it is worth reading. I am just surprised that they hadn't been rec'ced before this.[1]
Pamela Rose, who wrote Alternate, added a sequel later, called The Other End of the Line--if you liked the original character in Alternate, you can see what happened to him--and Starsky and Hutch, of course--afterward.[2]
"The Other End of the Line" by Pam Rose is my favorite in the zine. God knows that Pam refuses to write by any of the rules that writers have used successfully over the past however-many-centuries that people have been writing fiction, and the problems that creates for me as a reader bugs me no end. Her strong suit is characterization, and try as she might, she doesn't seem to be able to screw that up. Pete intrigued me from his first appearance in "Alternate" when it was first published in the Phone Booth Stories, and I was pleased to see his further adventures in WYK. The thing I like best about Pete is that he is true to himself up to the last word in the story. He's realistic, charming, conniving, and adorable. I couldn't help but love him. The artwork in this zine was a treasure. [Jean C.], as always, is one of my favorites. But the added bonus of Maureen Burns and Carol Davis really made the zine special.[3]
