What I Did for Love is a Blake's 7 story by by Madelyn Darring & Coral Court.
from issue #7.5, Leah Rosenthal, from "What I Did for Love" -- "Alas, it was a passion doomed to die unflowered. Vila was adamantly against any relationship, no matter how Avon pleaded and begged. "No slash," he cruelly sneered at Avon, savoring the sound of an Alpha heart breaking. "After London completely ignored me in 'Rogue', I've sworn off men forever.""
It is a humorous story, and it includes some commentary on the controversial Nearly Beloved)
It was published in Southern Comfort #7.5.
Reactions and Reviews
1994
Silly parody; Blake plays 'find the banana' with 'Romper Room rejects,' Avon pursues a Vila that insists, 'no slash, how many times have I told you,' and Zen installs a vibrator in the pilot's seat to make Jenna easier to get along with. It has some cute lines, "Avon's face was etched in a mask of dark pensive foreboding that hinted at the despair tearing at his soul. Deciding that a mood such as this was destined to be shared, Avon decided to head up to the flight deck and ruin everyone else's day while he was at it." [1]
2015
Interestingly the ending (Avon gets a sex change to be with Vila) feels like something of a comment on 'Never Love a Stranger' - but I assume it's just written simultaneously. Not that funny - Blake being a peodophile is not funny. [2]
