Author's Notes
"After the tracking gallery on Gauda Prime, science undoes a murder - for the murdered, not for the murderer...."[It was printed in the zine, "Rites of Passage"] with a dedication: For my dear friend Pat, to whom this story is deep in debt. Pat asked me to a non-slash zine and I set out to write about love with sex absent for once: the challenge, to use that word love, by the end. I'm still happy with this. [1]
Reactions and Reviews
"The Thirteenth Hour" gives the sadly battered heroes a plausible reconciliation PGP.[2]
A long, gorgeous story that has immediately gone on my list of absolute favourite PGP stories. A marvellous study of My (badly battered but still wonderful) Heroes and their deeply felt but obliquely worded bond (*all* of the passages of dialogue between Avon and Blake should be read slowly and carefully - they are wonderfully layered). Again, it's written from Avon's POV (different from Pat's but equally well done); it also features more of the other characters, with a splendid Vila, soured, still angry but still loyal, brief but sharp portrayals of the Scorpio crew, and a good, intelligent, sympathetic Deva (I often think he gets short shrift for being the *other* computer expert in Blake's life). And while her complex and intricate style may not be everyone's cup of tea, I find it perfectly suited to this quiet but deep story. I really love this one. [3]
This is one of the truest analyses of GP I've met.I've read and enjoyed this fic so many times, I love your style. There's always something new to pull out of your works.
I don't know if there are any more not posted, but if so, please share!
- Julara, thrilled to hear this still has a value to you. Actually, this story is one of those closest to my heart these days.
- I did, a couple of years ago, put up just about everything even arguably worthy of being archived -- and that I have a document of myself. : Stopped only when I felt I was scraping the bottom of the barrel. Missing is a post-GP standalone zine, Derelicts of 60,000 words, which I don't have a paper copy of to type up -- but that was written years & years before this GP story and I never thought it too terrific anyway.
- I'll keep in mind your encouragement to post, if I ever find other stuff to resurrect. Or write now, who knows??
- Thanks so much for commenting.[4]
