Look how many new ones were published in this last year. They're listed somewhere on my web site. Several different publishers too. > > Tiger M > Great name! I can't believe there are too few submissions! It's still possible to get submissions. Fire and Ice will probably have two issues this year as there was so much material. The trick if you don't get submissions out of the blue is to put in a lot of leg work. > Mind you, I note that a lot of my fave authors have had nothing new out since > I've been away - Sondra, please write something?!

That's the best way to do it. It means you end up with stories you like (and sometimes you get a wonderful one from a stranger as a bonus - I still remember getting my first story from Nicky Barnard) Judith -- http://www.hermit.org/Blakes7 - Fanzines for Blake's 7, B7 Filk songs, pictures, news, Conventions past and present, Blake's 7 fan clubs, Gareth Thomas, etc. (also non-Blake's 7 zines at http://www.nas.com/~lknight) ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 3 Jul 1999 10:14:07 +0100 (BST) From: Judith Proctor To: Lysator List Subject: RE: [B7L] Another door closes Message-ID: Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; CHARSET=US-ASCII On Fri 02 Jul, Trevor Gensch wrote: > That is so sad.

If i knew they were around I would submit something! Chronicles. I think Andrew Williams is editing that now. Kathryn Andersen likes to get B7 stuff for her multimedia zine Refractions. judith -- http://www.hermit.org/Blakes7 - Fanzines for Blake's 7, B7 Filk songs, pictures, news, Conventions past and present, Blake's 7 fan clubs, Gareth Thomas, etc. (also non-Blake's 7 zines at http://www.nas.com/~lknight) ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 03 Jul 1999 05:55:05 PDT From: Sally Manton To: blakes7@lysator.liu.se Subject: [B7L] Fandoms crossed over with B7 Message-ID: <19990703125508.25581.qmail@hotmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed From Sarah’s list, a couple jumped out at me... ???!!!!??? I don't think I even want to *think* about the latter...but thanks for the list, Sarah. I notice though, 'It’s a Wonderful Life' isn’t there - I can't *believe* it hasn’t been tried at least once (the premise seems to have been copied just about everywhere else). ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 3 Jul 1999 08:57:39 -0700 From: "LaughingRain" To: "b7" Subject: Re: [B7L] Zines Message-ID: <005b01bec56c$c8cd7340$c8709cd1@behemoth> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit And AVON 17 is by me!

The next trip will be 4th September. We meet up at Wareham station at 11.00 and make our way to the quarry for a water pistol fight. If anyone fancies joining us, drop me a line. Be aware that a half hour walk is involved, but there are some great sea views and some wonderful caves for ambushes with supersoakers.

The web certainly has a lot of positive uses, but it is of necessity transient and immediate. Zines has a much longer life and I have several that I have kept for many years. I shall certainly look into the cost involved in doing one. If anybody knows anything relevant that could help then please feel free to get in touch. I must admit that I am no great fan of crossovers, which seem to be very popular on the list at the moment. Perhaps that is because I was no great sci-fi fan before B7. Certainly in the 70's, most female television characters spent most of their time being infuriating, useless and generally tripping over or fainting all the time. I fail to see how fainting whilst a huge monster is coming towards you is the least bit useful - I'm sure I'd at least TRY to run away and I'm completely sure I wouldn't trip during the first 100 yards! B7 changed all that - not completely, but radically. Servalan was the best female character I've ever seen and I'm sure that B7 was ground-breaking. There would not have been the strong female characters, like those in "Alien" for example, unless someone had started the trend. Now, completely away from B7, I wonder if there are any US fans who could help me with a favour. My 2 year old son is a huge fan of "Blue's Clues", which is shown on cable over here with a different presenter. There are CD-Rom's available in the US, according to the web booksites, but they won't let me order them by credit card, because of legal restrictions of selling them abroad. Is there anyone who has the time to get them for me? I would, naturally, send payment and postage first. I think the restrictions are probably because of the different presenter. However, the show is not very popular here and I doubt they will become available. I have a very distressed toddler and any help would be appreciated!
