Anyone know if the tunnels Dayna and Tarrant ran though during Ultraworld

I just realized that perhaps I should introduce myself since I''ve just
joined the Blake's 7 mail lists. :)
Hello!!
My name is Louise Kincade, but my friends call me Sugar.
I've been a Blake's 7 fan for over 10 years; ever since I first saw it on a
PBS station in San Jose. I think that was about 1987. The beautiful,
absolutley fabulous Avon is my favorite. (For me) it is Avon who is the heart
and soul of Blake's 7. But I love all the characters. Each of them brings a
"something special" to the show. And it is the characters that makes Blake's
7 so endearing.
For several years I believed I was the only person in America who even knew
what Blake's 7 was, then a couple of years ago (to my great joy) I discovered
the internet with all it's SPECTACULAR Blake's 7 websites. And thru the
websites I found all that lovely fan fiction (which I am still in awe of).
Some of my favorite zines are Liberator Fantasies, all the Fire & Ice, all
the Avon Calling, Forbidden Star II, NOVA, Checkers, Desperado, Judith
Seaman's Ghost and Program, anything from Ashton Press.
Some of my favorite stories are "Bittersweet" by Sebastian, "Metamorphosis"
by Sheila Paulson, "Instruments of Darkness" by Corona Polvanthus, "A
Marketable Commodity" by Pat Nussman, "To Live Without Regrets" by Susan
Riaz, the stunning "The Pattern of Infinity" by J. Kels, and so many more.
It's so difficult to really pin down a favorite; it's all so sensational.
Oh, dear, look at me; I'm really chattering on.
Blake's 7 is a dynamite show and I'm thrilled to find so many who share my
love for it.
Sugar

> And here's everything else....
Well, if that doesn't sound like a challenge to create new crossovers or
parodies. In that vein, here are four. The first is with something
already listed, but it's an idea I'd been wanting to do for some time.
-----
Curiouser and Curiouser
Travis screamed.
Travis screamed until he was hoarse. Then he gave up and watched the
swirling colours until he fell asleep.
Travis landed on a soft, grassy hillock. He looked up, but only saw clear
blue sky.
He climbed to his feet and laughed. "Ha, Blake!" he yelled. "I'm alive!"
He paused when he heard someone coming.
A white rabbit wearing a waistcoat and spectacles bounded over the hill.
"I'm late!" it complained. "I'm late!"
Travis immediately grabbed it by the neck, strode to the nearest tree, and
repeatedly slammed the unfortunate animal's face into the bark.
"Now you're late."
-----
The Last Babysitter
"Welcome back from Auron, Madame President."
"You were right, Jarriere," Servalan said. "One clone did survive." A
small girl entered, and Servalan knelt down. "Mindy, I have to go crush some
rebels, so Jarriere will watch you."
"Okay, Lady."
Servalan frowned. "No, it's Servalan or Madame President. Or, if you're
really good, Mummy."
"Okay, Lady. Iloveyabyebye!"
Servalan stood. "Jarriere, watch Mindy. If she gets one scratch, I will
have you executed."
Jarriere's face lost its last vestige of colour. "I will take very...
where'd she go?"
Servalan looked around, but Mindy was gone. "Find her! And remember, not
one scratch!"
-----
Nightmare's End?
Surrounded by troopers, Avon raised his gun and...
Avon woke up screaming. Moaning, he stumbled from the bed and trudged into
the bathroom, unsurprised to hear the shower running. Then he opened the
door, startling the two people inside.
"Hey, Avon," Blake said, "have we reached Star One yet?"
"Umm..."
"Oh, hello," the other man said. "I'm Bobby Ewing."
Avon woke up screaming. He tumbled clumsily to the floor and froze. Someone
was definitely using his shower. He crawled into the bathroom and threw open
the curtain.
"My shower's busted," Gan explained, "so Blake said I could use yours
instead."
-----
Rosebud
The eyepatch floated to the floor, and the old woman's lips breathed,
"Travis."
"Charlotte Palmer Khan!" a deep male voice intoned. "Few names have
inspired more terror! Few faces have... what are... noooooooooo!"
The director fumed as Federation troopers stormed the studio. "This
production is closed!" a sergeant ordered.
"On whose authority?"
"On mine." The troopers stepped aside as a figure in white swept into the
room.
The director blanched. "Supreme Commander," he gulped.
"This travesty is an ineptly veiled attack against me. Such disrespect
will not be tolerated."
"What makes you think..."
"What is Khan's estate called?"
"Servalanadu? Oh."
-----
A drabble is a work of exactly 100 words (not counting title).
Drabble Tracker: 186 total; 10 B7; 2 "Animaniacs"; 2 "Dallas"; 1 "Alice"
K. M. Wilcox
Be glad my idea for "Cally McBeal" was just too big to turn into a drabble.

I agree with you about Servalan, but would say that the trend in
strong female characters in science-fiction really started with that of
Princess Leia in 'Star Wars', a character seen by people of all ages. While
a princess, she was a tough cookie, able to insult Tarkin and Darth Vader,
able to stand up to torture, and able to fight once released. I always
loved her telling Han Solo that he was now to take orders from her!<g>
