.. a little zine that I'm surprised I haven't seen advertised all that widely is called THE SMALL PRINT, also all "straight" PRO'S — I think the only place I've ever seen it advertised was right here in Mixed Doubles, in fact — and for such a small "unassuming-looking sort of zine, I was thrilled to find some of the best, most well-written straight PROs stories I've ever read. Anybody who hasn't read this zine should get their hands on a copy while they can! [1]

Back to the subject of Doyle's first kill (again?): the best treatment of the topic that I ever came across was "First Person -Singular" by Meg Wright. Very good indeed, for a straight story; I highly recommend it. It came from a zine originally but I don't know which one." [2]
