BTW whatever happened to his film > about Messmer? hello Chris, "Mesmer" was on either very late night Channel 4 or a cable channel a year or so ago. He was gorgeous, and the Voice was just mmmmmhhh <drool>. Film was interesting, but slow paced, not something that would get main-stream cinema showing (especially not in our cultural backyard of Middlesbrough <grin>). I think that I taped over it, but I'll ask a fellow Rickmanite if she kept her copy.

Well, I got a reply to my football post, but didn't seem to get my original. Perhaps this is the disproof? Harriet

Re: role playing at Redemption

Nik Whitehead is running a B7 role playing game starting Saturday morning at Redemption. Those who were there in 99 might remember what it was like from then. -- cheers Steve Rogerson http://homepages.poptel.org.uk/steve.rogerson Redemption: The Blake's 7 and Babylon 5 convention 23-25 February 2001, Ashford, Kent http://www.smof.com/redemption

Ellynne G. wrote re Blake's refusal to let Vila treleport to safety in Countdown: >And, what would have happened if Blake let Vila go and he was clogging up the teleport just when Avon needed an emergency out?< That seems unlikely as the countdown was still at fifty and didn't go that fast. But it would be an argument for letting Vila teleport up immediately, so he couldn't clog the system later. It seems to be a good argument for having Blake teleport up also, to leave the system free for Avon and Grant when they would need it :-) Marian

A writer always has the option of choosing where to submit stories.< Yes, but it's difficult if you don't know what to expect from a certain editor. Hence my question. >Speaking specifically in regard to Ashton Press, it's one of my favorite places to send stories. I received my first ever fanfic acceptance letter from Ashton Press; I can't tell you how long it took because I don't remember. But it was well worth the wait. Ann Wortham has been an encouraging, helpful, gently instructive editor.

And I know that she's had many real life demands over the years that have seriously cut into her fan time. I'm very pleased that despite all of her trials and tribulations, she's still crazy enough to be willing to do more zines. < Thank you for the information. This means my failure to get them to reply must be put down to simple if continuing misfortune and not, as I was beginning to assume, to a deliberate policy on their side. (Well, a B7 fan is allowed a certain amount of paranoia, surely? :-) ) And now I'm really going to shut up about the subject. Marian

I asked >>Why didn't Vila just tell Blake to get lost and teleport anyway? Sally suggested: > Why doesn't Vila just take two steps to one side, say "well can *I* go > then?" and take silence (or the abstracted semi-shrug, semi-nod as >assent? Why not indeed? Its a technique I use at work all the time, as I suapect plenty of us do. Works just about every time. > Maybe he doesn't actually want to leave Blake alone. I am usually quite happy to suspend disbelief in a good cause, but I have my limits <g>. Cheers Chris

Me, Harriet, >>(as in 'put these four TV shows in numerical order'). >Would this be as in Moonbase Three, Babylon 5, Blake's 7, etc etc? Yup, only H said they weren't all SF shows. One was 'two of a kind' apparently, and he couldn't remember the others. (Take three girls? News at ten?) >Sounds like easy money to me... Ah, but think of the pressure Alison
