I, Mutoid
by Steve Rogerson 21 Nov '01

21 Nov '01

Emma asked me to post this for her: I, Mutoid, a small, specialist fanzine focussing on the lives of mutoids, is now available. It's now marketing time. This is my first zine and I have no idea what to do here, so as a kick off I've done this.... The zine is 90 odd pages long of which 85 are pure stories. Table of contents - I've been very brief because I know some people like surprises, please email me if you would like more details on anything in particular. Awakening by Nickey Barnard - S4 Soolin focused story Recycling by Oliver Klosov - drabble Relative Programming by Ika - further adventures of Siv Holland The Best Laid Plans by Jackie - S2-4 story featuring Travis An Eye for an Eye by Executrix - S1 featuring Travis and Servalan The Weak One by Oliver Klosov - drabble His Brother's Keeper by Betty Ragan - S1/2 Vila POV Pretty Mutoid by Oliver Klosov - drabble Unmodified Needs by Delmonica - S3 (or maybe 4, mental block) mutoid POV Interview with a Mutoid by Steve Rogerson - PGP mutoid POV Memory is an Encumbrance by Julia Stamford - S1/2 with lots of nice Avon moments Kie-Eyre by Executrix - the inimitable style featuring lots more Travis. Warm Hands, Cold Heart by Oliver Klosov - drabble The Mutoid's Tale by Firerose - daily life for a mutoid Relations by Penny Dreadful - umm... I always struggle to encapsulate Penny. 'Where do mutoids come from' might do it but it's about more than that. Chronicles by Emma - v short social history of the mutoid, kind of AU-ish, or not, depending on how paranoid you are. With the exception of the drabbles, all fiction is unpublished on the net or elsewhere. The zine is side bound, not spiral or thermal or anything posh, because if I did that I couldn't have the funky neoprene black front cover which is on the first 40 copies only. Black card back cover. Cost: #6 plus #1.30 P&P UK = #7.30; $12 USA. It's a sparse, functional layout i.e. no fancy bits; it's more mutoidy that way, and cheaper, too. (I susbsidised the covers myself so it won't be any cheaper after the first lot have gone.) Email emmapeel(a)calvino.freeserve.co.uk for more details of how to order. Content is adult in that there is swearing, violence, mentions of body parts and such, but not 'adult' like 'playboy tv' is adult. It turned out everything I received by submission deadline was gen for older readers, sort of. That's the best way I can think of to describe it. If there is anything that offends you that you do not want to read, let me know and I will tell you if there is any in it. Anyway, that means I'll be needing an over 21 age statement. The stories are all ace. And the front covers are bendy and warm. And I like it. Thanks for letting me hijack the list for this post, Calle! love, Emma -- cheers Steve Rogerson http://homepages.poptel.org.uk/steve.rogerson Redemption 03, 21-23 February 2003, Ashford, Kent Celebrating 25 years of Blake's 7 and 10 years of Babylon 5 http://www.smof.com/redemption

Seeing as Una and I both have our Hopeless Causes up and selected, thank you all :-) anyone want to join in a tad of ballot-stuffing?

Voice From the Past ...
by Sally Manton 21 Nov '01

21 Nov '01

I thought more about this after reading Lisa's post promising the screen captues for this and Animals. Yes, okay, there's a lot of things bad about it. Thinking about it, however, I've realised that what bugs me most - that keeps me fretting at the edges of this one - is what it's not, rather than what it is. The possibilities lost to the godawful writing could have been wonderful; taken perhaps over two episodes we could have had: - a *real* look at a part of Federation politics largely, and Blake and his people getting involved with dissenters in positions of some power; and possibly - had it been written to give the whole thing a possibility of success - far more impact when it crashed; - the ambiguous murkiness of collaborators/dissenters in the person of Ven Glyn, another possible Anna Grant, albeit with the ambition to be Eminence Grise rather than President: playing a dirty game with Blake for motives that do (or don't?) put him on the side of the more grubby angels; - a deeper and more profound look at the impact of Blake's mindrape and its hidden, unsuspected, ongoing danger and damage; also what the shattering knowledge that he's still being controlled and abused could do to him, the way it could impact on his relationships with his crew (especially Avon, yes, well, what do you expect from moi?) and perhaps a look at the way he could fight back again - and the way he *must* have been damaged by it as he heads into the biggest fight of his life. Given the promise of the original ideas, Voice from the Past *should* have been up there with Star One, City and Blake. Instead, it's right down there with Kairos, Dawn and Ultraworld, saved only by the scraps of the political theme that should have been so much more, and (for those of us who like it<g>) the Blake and Avon and even Cally bits. But, being essentially frivolous, I still like it. Most of it. Some of it ... okay, okay, the bit right up to the asteroid and the appearance of The Bandages That Walk :-) _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp

A mass watching? (Looking for other things in the video shops - the videos of B7 seem to be *very* few and far between now.)
