Re: [B7L] Zine lists coming up

Thanks for posting the zine lists, Sarah. Sarah also wrote: >1) There is roughly about four times as much gen as erotica-- and the >latter category includes not only slash but heterosexual publications like >Horizon's zine =Ultra=, as well as mixed zines that include many gen >stories. This is an interesting statistic. At risk of waking the [[...]], might I ask how is your zine database organised -- would it be easy to analyse trends over time wrt the proportions of gen, slash, het and mixed ? Tavia

Things you might hear in a B7 episode
by Ellynne G. 31 May '01

31 May '01

Was just browsing through a children's book (Broken Sky #6) and came across two lines that would fit perfectly in a B7 story (which is not to suggest anything else in the story, which is strongly Anime inspired, would). "Err . . . so explain to me again why I got volunteered for this when I got one of the long straws." And, in another scene a character is facing a difficult decision while claiming not to _really_ care about the people involved, not _personally_. "The combination of solitude and denial did wonders for his concentration." Well, that is Avon's MO.

Hi honeys, I'm home!
by Una McCormack 30 May '01

30 May '01

So I'm back. Had a fantastic time. America a fine place full of lovely people, cheap food, excellent coffee and the International House of Pancakes. Jet lag apparently non-existent. ST: VOY finale about as good as you might expect. Managed not to have Buffy spoilt. B7 clip warmly welcomed at the Society for Cinema Studies conference (I showed a bit from 'Star One'). Had sent out the whole tape of 'The Keeper' and 'Star One' to a friend who was switching them to NTSC for me - alas, she watched 'The Keeper' as her introduction to B7. I gave her the tape back and told her to go and watch 'Star One' as well, out of fairness to the show! Una

Jarriere and Animals
by Harriet Monkhouse 30 May '01

30 May '01

OK, I was thinking it was a while since we had an Adventure of Jarriere. This one is in honour of Una's return, though an exchange between Marian and Joanne is partly to blame. "Animals" by Harriet Monkhouse [Dayna runs into the Bucol-2 bunker, followed by a Furry Figure.] JARRIERE (dropping a glass of whisky): Dayna! DAYNA: Oh, Jarriere, you don't know how glad I am to see you! JARRIERE: Let me look at you! My wee pupil Dayna, bonnier than ever! [They are standing so close that their noses almost touch, but the Furry Figure interrupts their touching reunion with a howl.] DAYNA: Jarriere, what *is* this animal? Is he dangerous? JARRIERE: Och, no, he's a big softie. Now, let me pour you a scotch... DAYNA: But you haven't explained... JARRIERE: Hey, lass, you haven't forgotten that I'm a leading genetic engineer and neurosurgeon? I'm creating a new race here - I thought I might call them Jarrigochs. DAYNA: So, this creature is... was... human? What did you cross him with - a zebra? JARRIERE: Ah, the black and white stripes... no, he did come with those. DAYNA: And the silver face? JARRIERE: That too. OCH: Pa - ta - ki! DAYNA: He's trying to say something! JARRIERE: Ah, he wants a biscuit - can you get him one from that box over there? The lad who brought Och over from Freedom City when the Supreme Commander cleaned it out - what was his name, Twose? Toise? - he brought me several packets of them, said they'd keep him happy. They're really not bad - have one with your whisky. [As everyone nibbles on a pataki cake, Jarriere and Dayna snuggle up on a sofa, and Och begins to purr.] JARRIERE: Actually, I crossed him with a big white cat. -- Harriet Jarriere: [Shakes his head] - Gambit
