Re: [B7L] The Gospel
by Sally Manton 28 Feb '01

28 Feb '01

Natasha wrotes: <Agreed. Blake's not my favourite character, but I find him the most intriguing and difficult to understand.> With Blake, the usual hero/villain/anti-hero boundaries don't work. Heroes aren't supposed to kill as dispassionately, to be as calculating (when he has to), to have that ice-cold streak - to be willing to take all that blood on their own hands (nor, on a lighter note, to be that autocratic and obstinate and bad-tempered :-)). Anti-heroes aren't supposed to … [View More]

This really, bloody hurts.> No, no, Fiona, please DON'T feel that way - I don't think anyone meant that that's what you were doing - as I said, I KNOW the serious posters do not intend to make me feel anything of the sort. And lot of the time I enjoy a great deal of the same discussion, without the "ummm, that's me we're talking about" feeling creeping in. I'm not for one minute *blaming* anyone for the way I sometimes feel, any more than I … [View More]

Did you order figures at Redemption?
by Judith Proctor 28 Feb '01

28 Feb '01

Did you order some Blake's 7 figures from us at Redemption? Unfortunately the pad of paper which we took the orders on has gone missing. I know what was ordered - if you ordered any (or know either of the two people who did) please contact us.

Firstly - sorry Tavia, I should have said from what B7 fiction I've read, which I admit is limited. Secondly, the reason I was wondering was also partly the idea about Blake's death. It was, what if he had died dramatically in Star One or even in Blake. It would definately have changed the serious, OK I think for the worse, pessimism and dystopia were definate pluses in Blakes 7. Much better stories then happy go lucky series. However then Blake would be dead, but I dont think people would … [View More]

Much as I like to avoid 'me too' posts, every now and then I can't resist and you really deserve one for this, Betty. FWIW, I didn't see anything wrong with Fiona's questions either, but then I love analysing … [View More]

Oxfam
by Judith Proctor 27 Feb '01

27 Feb '01

I'm still totally bushed from Redemption, but I'd like to say a big thank you to everyone who bought books from my Oxfam stock and also to those who dontated books. We took over 130 pounds for Oxfam and have had several boxes of really nice books donated which I'm sure will raise further money for victims of the Indian earthquake and others in desperate need.

On Domes
by Tavia Chalcraft 27 Feb '01

27 Feb '01

I did a few calculations for a story on how many people would plausibly fit in a dome. Assuming: (1) a dome radius of around 1 km; (2) a slightly 'cut-down' hemisphere (there must be a word for this but I don't know it); (3) space-filling vertically to fill; (4) 50% of the space filled by industrial or communal uses (parks, transport &c); and (5) a space allocation per family/couple roughly equivalent to a two-up, two-down terrace house on average (this felt conservative to me: … [View More]

hmm, sorry if you get this twice; I hit send, then noticed an error....... > >> Hi, I'm de-lurking to make a sales pitch for our magnificent t-shirts (modelled by numerous folks last weekend at Ashford).
