Was there any interaction between Orac and Slave? Can't remember. But why would Orac want off? He can hack into other computers and chat from wherever he is.

Or maybe Servalan put out a general message that the crew was trapped on Terminal, so even if they survived the booby-traps, the bounty-hunters or Amagons would get them.

fanfic etiquette query...
by Isobel Hamilton 13 Nov '01

13 Nov '01

Hi, *delurks* I have a B7 fanfic question. I've been browsing about a bit reading fics here and there, and I was wondering. If you were to read a fic on a site, then find another fic on another site that was *extremely* similar to the first one you read, just with tiny changes, posted by a different author, would you do anything about it? And if you did what would you do? (I know if it were me I wouldn't want someone copying my work and passing it off as theirs..)

I know I mustn't clutter up the list, but perhaps as it is fairly quiet Calle won't mind me saying how pleased I am that things seem to have gone relatively smoothly for all our friends travelling around in the last couple of days.

Nina asked: "Just got up and saw the news -- is everybody in the NYC / Newark area OK? Did the British contingent at Econ get out or is everybody stuck in Newark?" I got back safely. My flight was delayed 90 minutes because they couldn't remember where they'd put the plane, but it made up some time and got back less than an hour later than expected. -- cheers Steve Rogerson http://homepages.poptel.org.uk/steve.rogerson Redemption 03, 21-23 February 2003, Ashford, Kent Celebrating 25 years of Blake's 7 and 10 years of Babylon 5 http://www.smof.com/redemption

Orac wants to get > off the > planet and so sends a message to the effect of 'Hey Dorian, guess > what I've > got here, don't forget the clothes - sizes as included in message' Well, this probably belongs on the list of totally lame story ideas, but I had an idea (hoping no one goes comatose from boredom). First, assume the cave was some kind of psychic enhancer, deliberately created by one of those lost civilizations (the Seska being a distantly related offshoot). Then, suppose that at least one of the telepathic lifeforms the Liberator offended was able to make use of it. Dorian, whose use of it was largely instinctive and imperfect, suddenly gets the bright idea planted in his head that it would be _wonderful_ to go get the crew and bring them here. Doing the last repair job on Orac, Dorian also (very conveniently) removes the protections Avon put in to keep Orac from being taken over by telepathic lifeforms. Then, Dorian very conveniently gets himself killed. After this, Avon in particular starts making a series of bad judgement calls (and never quite notices Orac's safety devices have been removed). Obvious lines of action (like telling anyone who wants to know how to make the pylene cure) never occur to them. Orac, who has previously shown considerable survival interest, keeps everyone nicely preoccupied while ships are getting in position to attack Scorpio (with well remembered results). Of course, I'm assuming the whole purpose of this was to push Avon over the edge so he could be manipulated into killing Blake (or, if opportunity presented itself, one of the others [like, let's say, Vila]) for equally complex plot reasons. Yes, I admit it. I've always thought Occam's razor should be used the other way. Go with the _most_ complicated solution.

That would be a real shame, IMHO - part of what I love about zines are the illustrations and some of the lovely cover art. I would hate to see those go the way of the late, lamented LP cover. Besides which, I suspect that there's still a significant portion of the zine audience that's either unable to afford the technology or unwilling to learn to use it. Nina
