But my one real beef with _Trekkies_ is that (as is so often the case) it treated Trek fandom as if it was the only media fandom in existence. > This, after seeing a full-page article in the local newspaper on the topic of > slash fanfic on the web.

Okay, I tried answering off-list, but since there's obviously interest to more than Penny... this is my previous-generation Hogwarts story "Life Is Something That Rhymes With Quidditch". Actually, I have Penny Dreadful being mean to Severus Snape, a 3rd year student in her Defense Against the Dark Arts class. I have since realized that I shouldn't just use the name becuase it's cool, but give Penny a say in whether that's all right. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 10 Aug 2000 20:00:40 -0700 From: Helen Krummenacker To: blakes7@lysator.liu.se Subject: [B7L] Re: blakes7-d Digest V00 #226 Message-ID: <39936C58.333@jps.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Bernie, that was terrific!

It's on http://www.blackstar.co.uk/zone/blakes_seven There's a short description of the show and five pictures and I think the Avon fans will like theirs. Travis is also there but, alas, it's the one with the squirrel killing mutoid. Don't forget to move your mouse pointer over the different seasons to change the picture on the right in some far more interesting ones.
