You mean _Trekkies_? If so, yeah, and it *is* a lot of fun. (It's out
on video, btw, at least in the US, and I think it's available on DVD as
well.) Of course, I may be getting that mixed up, and maybe you mean a
different show entirely. 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.

Wow. Makes me feel... weirdly exposed. :)
I've started _Enterprising Women_, btw, and it looks to have quite a lot
of B7 content...

Incredible... 2 compliments on my Aftermath one... I think I will try
another.
Shadow:
I live in brightness;
Men come to harvest brethen.
I find new friend, home.
(from the point of view of Cally's moondisk, obviously)
Harvest of Kairos
Feel the sun shine on
Your shoulders as you work. Burn.
No Van Allen belt.
(one of *many* hazards of sunbathing while you're doing construction
work in space. ::snicker::)
Project Avalon
Ice planet can not
Match the coldness of our dear
Servalan, thwarted.
(not trying for summaries on these, but the nature-related moment of
haiku)
The Web
A stellar fungus
Interrupts the show. Lettuce
Men walk among us.

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.

Once again, I find my received list a bit short than the contents
summary suggests. This time It got almost to the end before cutting off.
Are others experiencing this trouble?

I hereby and hereafter and forevermore grant all and sundry the right to
use my nom-de-net in fiction howsoever they see fit. I mean after all I
have been *actively campaigning* the Other List for ages now
to...um...well, be that as it may, in any case. Feel free.

This may not be news to some of you, but Blakes7 now has its own zone on
Blackstar, just like Star Trek, Buffy and South Park. 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.

I'm terribly impressed by a lot of these (having read them all in one
lump, they've blurred together in my mind, and I can't remember who
wrote what, sorry!).
Let's see...
Sarcophagus:
Death is bound to life
See their roles are all foretold
Watch the ashes fall
Deathwatch:
Single combat finds
brothers too busy to talk
near and yet so far
City at the Edge of the World:
Hidden treasure waits
A talented thief is rare
Doorway to the stars
Gah! There's too much going on in that one to summarize easily.
