You can killfile me if you like, but if you can judge a man by the quality of his enemies, well, I've had a look around Ashton Press' website and I've rung up some of my slash-reading friends, and I'd consider it an honour to be killfiled by a purveyor of sexually explicit fan art, which uses the likenesses of the principal B7 actors without their permission, with evidently no thought for the distress which it might cause them.<<

If I wasn't laughing before, I am now.

So am I. Are you aware that you've just answered the same post twice?

I invite anyone on this list to actually 'look' at the Ashton Press website, and find any sexually explicit fan art or slash fiction. The first thing you'll notice is Annie's statement that there will *be* no adult or slash fiction posted on her website, and there never has been.

Never said there was. It's for sale, though, isn't it? And as for the illustrations, well, I doubt Avon, Blake and Vila are in bed together to keep warm.

And at least make up some slash-reading friends who sound realistic, Shane. In the 30 years that I have been in media fandom, I have drawn literally hundreds of illos and cartoons...and never once have I drawn genitalia.

Sorry, but did I say I was referring to _your_ artwork? And as for genitalia, the representation of genitals is not all it takes to make a picture sexually explicit.

And, if you'll reread the paragraph above (misrepresenting people again, Leah. Oh dear...) you'll note that I said the word "purveyor." Get out the dictionary again, and find out what that means. You work for Ashton Press, don't you?

This makes me, perhaps, the tamest of any B7 fan artist to be published in adult zines.

For someone who's tame, you're doing a lot of snarling.

As bombast

Damn good word, that.

goes,

No, I'm staying.

this deserves some kind of booby prize.

"Booby"'s got two meanings in Britain. The other one is of a spoilt, crying child.

Ooh! I said the word 'booby'! Call the actors!

Why do you keep on bringing the actors into the discussion? You're obsessed.
