The Way To Go Home (Blake's 7/Real Ghostbusters) by Sheila Paulson venkie@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 to believe. And I wasn't really comfortable with the advice to the B7 characters to be more "touchy-feely" because, well, they just aren't that kind of people (especially Avon!). On the other hand, there were moments of wit, cool wierdness, action and definitely a lot of niceness, so if you feel like some niceness, and want to find out what happened next, then you wouldn't be wasting your time.
So... what do *you* think?

It's been a few months since I read that one, but I didn't enjoy it as much as 'Limbo'. The protagonist, whose name I've forgotten, becomes Mary Sue--she's a rich heiress (there was no plot reason for that) and also some sort of time/space nexus to attract the B7 crew back although she's now in NY City. This is a Ghostbusters crossover, and I didn't remember enough about those characters, but I did enjoy the humour and good-natured banter among them.
