Amusingly enough, his character was ACO Howard, which put him at the same rank as Gareth's semi-regular character ACO Bulstrode. The picture is under Michael Keating in 'Who's Who'. Carol's trip report to England is now loaded in its complete form. It can be accessed from Syeven Pacey in 'Who's Who' or from the section on Convention reports. The 'fan club' section of the page now has a photo of the Lysator building and Calle's explanation of the origin of the name. There's some new filks, mostly by Chris Blenkarn, but also Harriet's Basil Brush filk (Travis Space Commander). There's various minor updates on the fanzine pages. The video section is working, but is not yet in it's final form. We've now got links to on-line sources for all the Blake's 7 tapes in both PAL (European) and NTSC (American) format. Please note that we CANNOT tell which design of cover you'll get as some of the tapes held by the on-line bookshops are old stock from the previous release. We'll be adding an episode guide to this section before long. We're also working on links to suppliers for Dr Who videos and other popular SF shows. (We got frustrated by the bookshop's habit of listing videos alphabetically or by number only with no episode title, so we're working on getting a more informative listing. We've not yet done everything we want to do here, but even it the current form, we hope it will be of some use.)

But we still don't know for certain how it got from the System to Blake, only that it was drifting abandoned after an unexplained battle. It might have been stolen (from the System) to the future and then sent back again (double manoeuvre slightly complicated, but the System Blake and co visit appears to be in the present). The intermediate owners would then be responsible for the provision of that extensive and very un-Altalike wardrobe.

I'm not familiar with those. I learned about drabbles on alt.drwho.creative and found a niche (As of today, I've written over a hundred of the things, including 89 Who-related.). Incidentally, these three B7 ones and the dates listed give a partial timeline of my experience with the show. I wrote the first after seeing "Deliverance" for the first time (I've made it a point to only watch the eps in order.) and the second after "Weapon". This third one, then, heralded the completion of my task; I've now seen "Blake". K. M. Wilcox I also want to do some longer stories with Jenna the Vampire Slayer, but that might be too silly. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 26 Oct 1998 23:41:43 EST From: AChevron@aol.com To: blakes7@lysator.liu.se Subject: Re: [B7L] Re: Three drabbles Message-ID: Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit In a message dated 98-10-26 22:45:36 EST, you write: << I also want to do some longer stories with Jenna the Vampire Slayer, but that might be too silly. >> Not at all!

I'm not familiar with those. I learned about drabbles on > alt.drwho.creative and found a niche This was something I suggested in the summer. Most of the response was on the sister list to this one, space city. 49 words (7*7) seemed an appropriate arbitrary figure. It was very impressive how people managed to work within the restrictions, but also produce something which was very distinctively their own. My idea - which is not dead only resting - was to make a web site of these 7*7 snippets. The idea was to randomise them. The Java I used spoiled the formatting though and many people had used formatting to good effect in their snippets, which I didn't want to lose. I thus got into a bit of a dead end and got stuck. If .. this is very much cheating .. but if anyone has enough spare time and inclination to help me with this I would of course be very grateful.
