Wouldn't it be interesting to keep a record of how often this cave
appears
in B7 fanfic? There seems to be a need to isolate two characters within
some
confined space (preferably primitive, natural setting, rather than artificial one) so that they'd be forced to interact in a manner which otherwise wouldn't be conceivable. It almost inspires one to write a
parody
of the 'cave' sub-genre.
And it's own sub-genre, the 'stuck in a lift' story, which even 'Star Cops' does, so I can't complain.
I get tired of A-B dynamics and want to read stories focusing on some other aspects of the series. (Yes, there
are
other aspects!) It would be nice to have some kind of lightship for
guidance
in the sea of written material.
So, could other people please tell me: what are your Top Ten B7 stories?
In no particular order, although the first ones constitute my top five:
1. Nickey Barnard, 'Haunted' in 'Pressure Point'. 2. Penny Dreadful, 'The Killer of Dole Nu Lin' in ttba. 3. Executrix, 'Purple Haze' in ttba. 4. Alison Page, 'Radioheads' at http://www.aquitarfiles.org.uk/. 5. Alison Page, 'The Young Lady's Home Companion' in 'Stadler Link'. 6. Freda Hyatt, 'The Human Factor' in 'Standard by Seven' #10. 7. Russ Massey, 'Irregularity' in 'Refractions' #2. 8. Ana Dorfstad, 'Hoist on a Dark Petard', in the Enarrare B7 Special. 9. Loulou Harris, 'In the Labyrinth' at http://www.aquitarfiles.org.uk/. 10. Judith Rolls, 'A Peculiar Alchemy' in Horizon #20.
