Harry? No thanks. After Jenna vaporizes him for calling her "bird" and

I will take Leela, Romana 2, or the air hostess with a voice which never
bothered me, Tegan. Not only could she stand up to the Doctor when she needed
to, she was the only Fifth Doctor companion (OK, Nyssa sometimes) who didn't

Not necessarily. B7 is at least set in the 28th century - plenty of time
for the Federation to go bad, and various other bits of background history
to happen.

Thank you very much indeed, I'll be giggling inanely all day long now. I
haven't seen the original, so does anyone have an adress for that one? Did
Zaphod Beeblebrox meet Servalan? If he did, I'm sure there were fireworks,
although I'm not sure which kind.

I see the landscape, but don't tend to concentrate very hard
on it (this is someone who can suspend disbelief all the way
to Cygnus Alpha if she wants to). That's part of the problem.
They *do* belong in the B7 universe, I accept them there
and *don't* have to think too hard about the backdrop. Put
them in a crossover, and the background starts assuming
more importance than I want it to. If that's appalling

And then looked at the original message again and discovered that it
specifically stated that B7 was *not* in that crossover. <chanting one

Oh well, nothing for it but to write my own story where Zaphod meets

????????
Not to argue -- *really* -- but isn't that a bit like saying you
can't have a round world if people believe it's flat? Having a
multiverse doesn't imply that people in each universe *know*
that there is a multiverse.
Apart from that, just because something hasn't been mentioned
in the show doesn't mean it's unknown within its universe. Aren't
you the one who's always saying that fanfic should tell us more
than what's inherent in the series?

This whole thread has been fascinating -- previously I've only
known that I like some crossovers and not others, but could
never have said why. I think for me it boils down to tone;
I prefer the silly ones to be silly and the serious ones to be
tonally matched and at least as plausible as the series are; and
I do like the 'fish out of water' or 'through the looking-glass'
style as well, as long as the characters *realize* that something's
wrong. ("Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore.")
Generally I don't like multiverse unless it's Dr. Who; I prefer
merged universes. (I don't like Trek/B7 under any circumstances,
because I think the tones don't match at all -- except I've been
wanting to read the DS9 one that presents the B7 characters
as legendary Bajoran heroes; I can see how that might work.)
B7 has both darkness and humor, so I think it lends itself well
to crossovers of both types; it has that in common with Buffy;
as I can suspend disbelief for each of them separately, I have
no trouble thinking of the B7 universe as a future version of
the Buffy universe.
Fun thread. Thanks everybody.

Journalistic and antagonistic questions, not. Sincere interest

he can be a bit of a pedant, and more easily flattered than
he'd like to admit.

Oh, they are playing my favourite B7 song on the radio again. 'Avenging
angels' by Space. Please listen to it if you get the chance. It's not the
best song in the world by any means, but it is just so evocative to me.
'calling all
avenging angels
angels
kick-ass angels'
I simply can not listen to it without seeing Vila and Avon materialising in
silver suits, back to back, with their weapons at the ready. Looking so

In Tolienesque terms, adding extra universes to that in B7 is a bit like

would rather map roughly-charted territory in more detail than venture out

Diary of a Nobody? Neil, Neil, where do I order? When can
I order? That's one of the books I'd rescue if my house was
burning down...
It should be out in the next four to six weeks. I'll announce it on the
list (with prices and stuff) when it's ready. Other contributors include
Marian Mendez, Christine Lacey, Jenni-Alison and a -brilliant- piece by
Nickey Barnard. Nothing by me, though.

Love and Hairstyling
Set after "Warlord"
"Zeeona's dead," Tarrant told the others.
Avon nodded. "It's for the best."
"Best?" Dayna asked. "How? For whom?"
"Me, for one," Avon said. "She looked like an old woman's poodle."
Dayna and Tarrant gasped, and Soolin nearly choked on her drink. "That's
how they wear their hair on Betafarl," she said eventually.
"That is no excuse. I couldn't look at her without wanting to offer her
some kibble."
Tarrant barked out a laugh. "Now Avon counsels on unattractive lovers?
How soon he forgets."
Avon clenched his fists. "For the last time, I was drunk!"
"Yeah, we both were," Vila added.

Thank you to all who responded to this. It was phases of the moon I was
after, and this has helped - no full moon during the two weeks, so Oz is
fully active, and a nice dark, no moon night early in the two weeks.
Plus the lovely mystical addition of a first crescent on the solstice
(or as near as dammit) ? it was established in the first ever Buffy
episode that first crescents are significant at the Hellmouth.
What astounded me though was this knowledge that moon phases are the
same the world over. I'd never really thought about it but just assumed,
cos it is all about angles as to how much of it you see lit up at one
time, it would vary depending on where the observer was on earth.

Do you mean an SF convention or a media convention? If the first, I'd
suggest Boskone in February; if the latter, Visions in late November.

I didn't think she was a very good journalist. Did she ever file any copy?
Or ring in to explain to the news editor that she'd just popped off to the
other side of the galaxy but she'd be back before she set off so he needn't
tear his hair out because she'd write her 1,000 words on the way back?
I'm an Ace fan, but looking back I find myself very fond of Jo, who is now
generally reviled. I thought she was another of those "persevering in the
face of being scared" types, and with lovely eyes to boot. Can't picture
her legs at the moment, but I'm sure she'd get on with Vila.
And she did seem to be doing the job she was paid for.

Message-Id: <199906212013.PAA12121@pemberton.magnolia.net>
While at MediaWestCon, I picked up a couple of used zines. I already have
copies of all of them (and, indeed, I originally published one of them), but
these were in good shape and reasonably priced, so I thought I'd grab them
and offer them for sale to online readers who likely don't get to many cons.
They're all gen, BTW.
All the prices include US priority mail postage. If you buy more than one,
I'll need to refigure the postage if it goes over 3 pounds of weight, so be
patient. :-) I'm afraid I won't be able to take non-US funds, and shipping
them outside the US would obviously be more expensive--probably lots more
expensive. :-(
1. Roads Not Taken. Excellent condition. 20 stories, 245 pp., reduced
type, comb binding. Stories that branch off from televised episodes,
mixture of regular characters. Authors include J. Graham, P. Hartsook, C.
McCoy, A. Aldridge (part 1 of her excellent Jenna-Travis epic), R. Brothers,
lots of others. $14.00, including postage.
2. Roads Not Taken (yeah, I bought 2!). Excellent condition, except pp.
229 & 230 have a lower corner of text torn off. I will give you an
unblemished copy of that page, though I won't be able to bind it into the
zine. $13.00, including postage.
3. Zen & the Art of Rebellion 1. Out of print, and to my understanding not
likely to ever be reprinted. Good condition. 10 stories, 135 pp., comb
binding. Mix of characters, emphasis on Vila, Tarrant, some Travis.
Authors include T. Ward, C. McCoy, L. Breshears, L. Moto'oka, others.
$8.00, including postage.
4. Delta Blues. Also out of print and unlikely to be reprinted. Excellent
condition. 4 stories, 76 pages, comb binding. The Vila zine! The cover of
Our Hero by Phoenix is to-die-for. Authors are...well, mostly me, with some
filks and humor by Jane Mailander. $9.00, including postage.
Please email me privately if you're interested in any of these. Thanks!

Well, it's the fault of the ABC. If it hadn't kept
repeating Tom Baker stories (mostly) during an
impressionable period (late childhood-early
adolescence), I wouldn't have bothered about the
character. I like Leela and the second Romana as well,
for much the same reason. I only wish the ABC had
repeated Blake's 7 as much as Doctor Who - I wouldn't
have needed, as I did some months back, to enquire who
this Carnell person was.
It's fair enough what you say about Sarah's
profession, but then I've never been able to convince
myself that certain characters had any degree of
competence in their given professions. Mel Bush is one
of them. She always gave me the impression that I knew
more about computers than she did, and I know close to
damn all <shrug> Avon would sneer at her, but there
are very few he wouldn't sneer at, if the fancy took
him. I'm afraid Jo Grant, secret agent, is another
example. (Not that I dislike Jo - John Pertwee's era
got its fair share of repeats on the ABC as well.)
> I'm an Ace fan,
Not as fond of her as I was (at the time, the
character was about my age), probably as I began to
think that the character was declining. Not into
another screamer, but into neurosis of the week. I
suggested once, to the amusement of my brother, that
if the character had come back for another series, the
Doctor would've taken her to Metabelis 3 because she
had arachnophobia.
And I agree that Vila would've rather taken with Jo.
Regards
Joanne

There's a short story in SOUTHERN 7 #8 called "PROBABILITY FACTOR" that
has Servalan as Zaphod" "third favorite twin sister". And I seems to
remember another story where the B7 crew meet up with Arthur and Ford.
Avon lusts after Zaphod's sun(Don't Panic) glasses. And I think there's
another story involving Marvin. Anyone know the titles?
