From the Editorial
There are a couple of brand-new writers in here. Lizzie and Claire Dobbin. Let's encourage them, we want more.
Joey's art, a Jane M cartoon, strange Sci-fi, fairy tales, this is quite a gathering. And there's something from James Walkswithwind... we've missed you in Pros.
Thank you all who commented on Priority A-3: you know exactly who you are. :) I hope I learned from your suggestions...
Submissions are being accepted now for more zines to come in the new century. Hurt/Comfort, AU's, cross-overs (sell us on it), NO Death Stories. Happy endings with the lads together a must. No Bodie/Cade, Bodie/Cowley, Bodie/Anybody-But-Doyle.
For anyone who wants to read more about Bodie and Doyle (and Cowley, sorry Dorinda!) there are numerous places to go. Please email us. We'll be more than happy to help you out.

- The Victorian Kitchen Gardener by Lizzie ("'Lust' seemed to be the order of the day today. Percival's sermon was, as always, interminable; children fidgeted throughout the church, and Doyle wished the subject weren't quite so appropriate. He also wished he could manage more successfully to keep his eyes away from the pew opposite. They seemed to have developed a mind of their own and slid in that direction whenever he failed to concentrate hard enough, which, in the circumstances, was often. He noted with interest, though, that each time it happened the object of his fascination was always staring right back at him...") (1)
- In a Nightmare Dreaming by Erica St. Jeanne ("" - you never remember to take breaks - " Doyle's voice s napped "Don't just sit there like a dummy. I can't get a damn thing done over on Surveillance with you off-line, so you've got to pull yourself together. Check on our guest, see if he needs his hand held, get yourself something to drink" "Why don't you go?" Bodie asked, irritably rubbing his bristly head "I'm busy," Doyle griped, and his hands went on doing simultaneous dances on the several keyboards piled about him as if he were playing a church organ. Swearing, he bent closer to the images flickering across a duty desk monitor, then leaned back, stretched, and raked his nails distressingly through wild auburn curls. "At least check on our big-noise guest.") (37)

- Number B3737. Thank You by Ele ssar 53 (""Yo dn't rely on my word anyway. You went on, you continued to break me apart, study me." Zax turned away to hide his disgust and underlying hurt, slamming a fist into the desk top. "Even after I told you who, what, I was - " he broke off, then concluded bitterly, "It's always knowledge first" He turned his head and glared accusingly over his shoulder at B3737. "Isn't it?" "I had to go on, especiallyafter you told me - " Zax, unwilling to listen further, moved to exit B3737 was up out f the chair and at the door before he could reach it. He grabbed him, spun him around, shoved him against the wall and held him pinned there using his greater mass to hold him still. They glared at each other, Zax trying to use his power to hurt the man holding him so he could escape, run away from yet another person that had betrayed him.") (53)
