original crew of the Liberator
by jacquispeel＠netscape.net 20 Feb '02

The DSV's crew could be Altas and slaves but there would be occasions when crew members were out of direct contact with Zen (or its equivalents), and the slave Blake meets is certainly capable of independent mental activity. (I assume that the designation 'Deep Space Vessel indicates that it was a research vessel: Zen's statement that information must be acquired not given would be consistent with this. Was the 'image device' Zen used on the persons from the London a means of keeping revolting … [View More]

Kathryn wrote: "So... what do *you* think?" I quite enjoyed Limbo, though it's not one of Sheila's best. There were, I thought, two main problems with it: a] I don't think it *entirely* escapes Mary-Suedom, since there is that (for *me* annoying) business the The Heroine having all the emotional answers (to Gauda Prime and Malodaar) and giving way too much advice to both Avon and later Vila. b] tied up with that is a tendency to 'show *and* tell' rather than 'show instead of tell' - … [View More]

I'm sure David wouldn't do this, but it would be a pity if anyone else doing a novelisation showed their prejudices for or against a character." Like I would, probably :-) While I quite like the idea, I have to say I prefer writing my own scribbles where I can edit out people I don't enjoy writing *and* write in my … [View More]

Review: The Way To Go Home
by Kathryn Andersen 19 Feb '02

19 Feb '02

(As usual, this review can also be found at my Net-fic reviews page <http://www.katspace.com/reviews/netfic>) The Way To Go Home (Blake's 7/Real Ghostbusters) by Sheila Paulson <venkie(a)aol.com> at <http://members.aol.com/Venkie/rgb/rgb.htm> This is a sequel to "Limbo" but doesn't work quite so well. It's more self-indulgent and doesn't have the same kind of unifying theme as the previous story. The characters are too insightful to be true, I just found that a bit too hard … [View More]

Review: Limbo

(As usual, this review can also be found at my Net-fic reviews page <http://www.katspace.com/reviews/netfic>) Limbo by Sheila Paulson <venkie(a)aol.com> at <http://members.aol.com/Venkie/rgb/rgb.htm> This story has a number of things in it which would send many a fan running for the delete key even before they'd tried to read the story. It has an original female protagonist. It's set in the 20th Century. It's told in first-person. And almost the only other Blake's 7 … [View More]

I read this story some time back, and I have to say I liked it a lot. The ocf didn't strike me as too Mary-Sue-ish, she was handled very well, IMO. Mind you, I haven't come across many of that type of story to compare it with. I particularly liked the way the widow's dog, which was her husbands ad only really tolerated her for his sake, attached itself to Avon, and the way he pretended not to care and then fondled it under cover of the table. Might say more later, but it's time I went to work.… [View More]

(snipped nov. of S1 E11 & 12 and David's Gan on Star Queen) Nico I'm not sure about this one. My Gan has a different background, but I wouldn't impose that on a novelisation of a series episode. I too would like to do one some time when I'm not too busy, but I won't add anything from my universe, IOW tell one of my own stories. David It is a fair comment. I yield and defer, and delegate the novelisation to someone else. Nico I also noticed that Jill was very even-handed in her treatment … [View More]
