I grew up being really into Trek, but once it got to be darn near universal (not to mention so commercial) it got really annoying to me. Of course, changing from a starry-eyed preadolescent into a cynical adult probably had something to do with it too - B7 came along just at the right point in my life that I could really related to it.

Nothing like going to Chicago once a year and meeting 500 like-minded friends. I know that's not on the same universal scale as TREK, but it was a good taste. Leah

Re: Zine lists coming up

Tavia, very interesting data-crunching! Thank you for some hard statistics. I agree with what-- Joyce, I think?-- said: this should be posted somewhere, perhaps on Judith's site. Another quick note on websites, for any writers out there who had stories in now-out-of-print zines: there are now at least two web archives looking for gen B7 stories, Judith Proctor's Library (all kinds of stories) and the Hammer to Fall and Bang and Blame (PGP) archives on the B7 Writers' site (gen only; adult and slash stories are at Liberated). Judith's site also has a listing system for finding B7 stories of whatever kind you prefer, on various sites; so if you have stories archived on your own web page, please list them with Judith so other fans can find them easily. Also, if your golden oldie exists only in print form, it might be possible to scan it for web posting; e-mail me provately if you're interested. Sarah

Web site update
by Minnie 31 May '01

31 May '01

Hi all I just wanted to let you all know there has been an Nova update at http://www.darksites.com/souls/horror/blakes7/index.html Some new stuff including many more pictures (still a few to come later, including Vila, the Liberator and Blake clones and next gen). But Im still open for suggestions and ideas. I have also put up some of my limericks and tried to put up a joint round robin (with Starkiller ) but that diverts to a page that isnt mine. This will be fixed asap. Starkiller has also helped me set up the page in a more user friendly style. This will improve with time. Big thanks to Starkiller. :) Feedback, feedback, feedback Min.xxx

It's such a shame that the BBC didn't have people of enough discrimination to realise what a peerless and priceless asset the dear little man would have been to the crew at *any* time in the series (or even as the star of Series 5). _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

This one, to my irritation, took a while... Regards Joanne The Thief's Lament (Way Over Yonder In The Minor Key; lyrics Woody Guthrie, tune Billy Bragg/Wilco) I was made to go by that great bully And then a little girl pulled a gun on me She took me to a man mad as can be 'Cause there ain't nobody who can steal like me She said that I lie so badly But to that door I was the key Only way to get what they want, you see And there ain't nobody who can steal like me Ain't nobody who can steal like me There's no other in the galaxy There's no other in the galaxy Ain't nobody who can steal like me I thought someone had heard my plea When I knew that she had followed me There is no one as sweet as she And there ain't nobody who can steal like me With just my girl for company I thought this is the place to be T'was then I saw I'd found my fee And there ain't nobody who can steal like me She thought that we were home and free I wish that it was meant to be My little girl's now lost to me Still there ain't nobody who can steal like me There's no other in the galaxy There's no other in the galaxy Ain't nobody who can steal like me Now I have flown so far away And I know I won't forget the day I had to let my girl go her own way 'Cause there ain't nobody who can steal like me Ain't nobody who can steal like me There's no other in the galaxy There's no other in the galaxy Ain't nobody who can steal like me _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

I suppose Mission Impossible (although I didn't see it or the series), Star Trek (although they get it wrong every other film), and Beverly Hillbillies . . . made money. The first couple Superman films weren't exactly travesties and I suppose Batman was pretty on target. Let's just try and be hopeful, here. _Maybe_ they'll get it right. _Maybe_ the past year was spent listening to fan concerns and making revisions. Maybe Travis really knew how to aim and Servalan actually did have as much dress sense as she thought. It's possible. Maybe. And, no, I did not have my mind and opinions reconfigured by Federation Psycho-surgeons before writing the above. And if they can just get it _half_ right, I'll be happy. So long as it's the right half. Ellynne ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO! Juno offers FREE or PREMIUM Internet access for less!
