Especially nice to hear from Sondra and Carol after such a long time. Pat Patera I suspect you are right about the web, but it's still a shame that there are so few zines. I don't think it would feel the same to read stories off the net somehow. It's also a strange thing that B7 gets so little coverage in sci-fi magazines, etc, when it's so much better than anything else! Tiger M Great name! I can't believe there are too few submissions! Mind you, I note that a lot of my fave authors have had nothing new out since I've been away - Sondra, please write something?! And where has Judith Seaman gone? is she still writing. Perhaps if I do go ahead with trying to do a zine I will have to beg all my favourite authors for submissions (that means you too, Neil!!!). Anyway, thanks for your message. My health has been dicey for too long for me to mention - but I do hope yours improves! Carol Mc So wonderful to hear from you! I'm very much afraid that you were one person who so kindly kept on writing, when I was totally unable to answer! Please accept my apologies now! I would love to re-join "On The Wing" when I have time - thank you for offering to accept me back. However, I think I will be looking into the possibility of this zine first and may be decicating quite a lot of time to it. I do have a few Tarrant stories in mind though... Haven't written for a while, but I'd like to try again. Thanks again for all the kind words - talk to you all again soon.

Among other things, it's very hard to curl up in bed with a cup of tea and a computer monitor.;-) Seriously though, many fans do not have internet access, even if they have e-mail. Also, I've seen some excellent fanfic on websites like The Aquitar Files and the archive at the B7 fanwriters' site, but there isn't too much B7 fanfic on the web. Another problem I've often encountered with netfic in various fandoms is stories that are um, less than good. One thing I like about paper zines is that anything that gets printed has to have gone through some kind of editing process. This isn't true of stories posted on personal websites. A text editor and spell checker is no substitute for a knowledge of the English language and it shows in some of these stories. As for B7 not getting much coverage, I can only speak for the situation here in the U.S. B7 was aired on public television stations, which generally meant that the viewers had to scream and cry (and send in lots of pledges) to get the local station to air the show in the first place. Often, it was aired at very inconvenient times, like 11 p.m. on Sunday night. To my knowledge, it hasn't been repeated in my area since it was originally aired in the late eighties. I only knew about the show from hearsay until a friend offered to copy some episodes for me in exchange for some anime I had given him. This was about two years ago. In the U.S., very few people even know about the show. Also, B7 isn't flashy or action packed, like most Hollywood shows, which are what get attention and coverage here, unfortunately. I agree that it is superior to just about anything else, but try to convince TPTB at Time Warner of that. > Tiger M > Great name! I can't believe there are too few submissions!

Could you pass on the message to the B7 List for the Staked Blake folk that the reason that the buffyb7 list has been silent is that welkin (my PC and the machine that was hosting the list) is having its power supply replaced. I am typing this from my laptop (and as I was away in Sydney all week, haven't had a chance to launch a message before). I can't post this to the List myself, because this email address isn't subscribed. If all goes well, I will get my computer back on Sunday. If it doesn't, then it will be at least another week, since I will be away again.
