Hi, I'm a new member of the list. I might be interested in the magazines,
but don't know much about them.
I'm in the States, and got access to B7 only through PBS which edited the
darn shows and confused me totally until I started seeing the unedited
versions through the video.

What do you mean Pat "snagged from the ebay" ?
I've got the original here, had it for years...
Bye the way, it does have a stud missing...
First one to guess where correctly, gets to rub there hands over it... :)
A few more interesting/boring facts about the said leather top, are that it
is actually very dark midnight blue leather and it appears that young
Tarrant didn't have Avon size shoulders, as if you look on the inside
there's a pair of shoulder pads made from the front tabard of Avon's red
leather outfit.
The red leathers exist, both (very tight) trousers and jacket, I've had the
two costumes together, the pads and the red leathers match perfectly, both
colour and quilting..
Sorry if this is a bit boring...
I've got another seven Avon costumes here if anyone wants to know anymore
interesting/boring facts...
I was the person who organized the Exhibition at Deliverance 98, I managed
to get together over 85 costumes, and many of the original models and props
from the show.
I used to work at the BBC Visual Effects Department and still have many
friends who worked on the show, so if you want to get any more information
on the above, let me know.

Interesting possibility, and just goes to show how different people view
things differently. I would define dignity, or at least pride, in that
situation, to be picking up even a pebble to try to jam a gun with a
lucky throw. To dive forward, in the hopes that the troopers would aim
too many guns on me and be distracted from the others, who might find an
escape. I can hardly imagine anything that would strike me as less
dignified than going to my death passively.

Funny, Blake is the only one I can't see surviving. It's nothing against
him. The emotional impact of that final scene was just too much to
invalidate it.
OTOH, I see Avon surviving simply because I see him as _having_ to deal
with the emotional aftermath of this (what? you want to let him off
_easy_?). That's one of the reasons I really liked Kathryn's story
"Winning is the Only Safety" since it shows an Avon who _can't_ die and
escape from what he did.

Personally, I'm inclined to going down fighting, but if they saw this as
psychologically taking away something these Federation guards thought
they could get from them, I could see the point.

Content-Type: text/plain;

The url for the B7 Fan Fiction Archive, where you'll find J.
Kel's "Pattern of Infinity" and lots of other goodies, is:
<http://www.oddworldz.com/b7fanfiction/index.html>
POI is in the section for "Series E."
I've now finished it, and wow! I really like it! If you crave a
looong juicy gen story, this one's for you. It's a full fifth
series of 13 episodes, each one of which is at least novella
length. At one per night, which I found was about right for me
given that I'm currently employed :), that's nearly two weeks of
reading pleasure.
It's too bad about the similarity in title to Ana Dorfstad's
story in =Enarrare=; I hope that won't cause confusion. Both
stories are very long, IMO very good PGPs, starring Avon, that
also bring back lots of characters and concepts from earlier
episodes; but the resemblance ends there. They are very
different in feel. If I had to compare the two, I might say that
Ana Dorfstad's story is more geared toward emotional effect,
though it also has a clever plot; while J. Kel's is more of an
"idea" story, though with very moving emotional content as well.
The archive notes describe J. Kel's POI as "lyrical," and I
agree. I can't think of many other examples of fan fiction that
I can really compare it to, but I wonder whether perhaps the
author is an Arthur C. Clarke fan. In a way this story reminds
me of some of Clarke's early, visionary works, things like
=Childhood's End= and "The Nine Billion Names of God."
What? you ask. So, does J. Kel destroy the Earth, maybe even the
universe, in an apocalyptic B7 story? Well... yes and no. It's
hard to explain. Read it and see.
And to think that I thought "The Chameleons" was hard to describe
without giving spoilers! This is even more difficult, but I'll
try to give some idea of what it's like.
The story opens seven years after GP, in chilly Servalan City
(formerly known as "Kalgerry," Canadians will be amused to note).
Lord Avon has become the lover and second-in-command of supreme
ruler Servalan. On her orders, he confers with the scientist
Geir, who has observed strange phenomena associated with the
artificial planet Terminal. He also meets a young Auron man,
Mykal Hodos, Geir's assistant. Mykal tells Avon that Cally had
another sister who is still alive, Molli, a Songmaster, who now
seems to be receiving telepathic messages from Cally herself, via
Terminal. We also learn that Servalan remains obsessed with the
Auronaar, and not just from guilt; Avon feels, however, that she
should be more concerned about the sinister, enigmatic alien
civilization that inhabits the object known as the Black Shield
(the source of the plague in "Killer," a modified version of
which was used by Servalan on Auron).
In Episode II, we meet Molli herself, in the company of-- Jenna!
Over the next several episodes, Molli, Avon, and Mykal escape
from Servalan with Jenna's help, and make their way first to
Kaarn, aka New Auron, where they discover an incredibly powerful
new technology guarded by an embittered, none-too-sane man; and
then to Lindor, where they again meet President Sarkoff and his
daughter Tyce, still resisting the Federation against
increasingly poor odds. At the end of Episode VI, tragedy
strikes; some of the characters are recaptured by Servalan, and
some die. (This was the last part of the series to be published
on paper, back in 1993, leaving those of us who had been
following the story in great suspense!)
However, thanks to the mysterious Entity associated with
Terminal, death is not necessarily final for anyone who has
visited the artificial planet. In the second half of the novel,
not only Avon and Jenna but also Vila, Dayna, Tarrant, and Cally
play prominent roles, with Blake himself appearing briefly. In
fact, the only regular characters from the original show who do
=not= reappear are Gan, Soolin, and Travis-- oh, and Slave, if
you count the AIs (and we probably should, since both Orac and
Zen feature in the story-- yes, the Liberator, or at least =a=
Liberator, returns). Avon is the central character, but many of
the others are featured as well; Vila in particular becomes a
major hero toward the end, performing some crucial actions.
By the end there have been some amazing escapes and adventures.
I particularly like the vividly described raid on a Federation
concentration camp in the Arctic, to rescue some very important
prisoners, in Episode XI (Tarrant stars in this section).
Meanwhile, the Lindorean fleet prepares to attack Earth; and a
terrible threat is hanging over the entire human race, throughout
the galaxy, as Servalan out-Travises Travis in her plans for a
Final Act. All the plot elements are neatly pulled together, and
every episode ends with a startling revelation or cliffhanger.
At this point I couldn't stop reading, and I stayed up much too
late in order to finish the entire story and find out what
happens!
I'm happy to say that the ending did not disappoint. The mystery
of Terminal, the threat of the Black Shield, the promise of the
new technology, and revelations about Servalan's background and
the nature of her relationship with Avon are all neatly and
satisfactorily dealt with. The end is a very B7ish combination
of triumph and tragedy.
Overall I rate this story very highly. My one complaint is that,
even though I know it has gone through at least two drafts by the
author plus editing by friends, I think it needs one more
proofreading (to fix things like "it's" for "its") and very light
copy edit (to make a few little changes like "flight deck" for
"bridge"). Maybe this can be done before the story appears in a
hard copy version, as I very much hope it will. There are also
some small formatting problems, such as the occasional skipped
line; but none of these minor gripes detracted significantly from
my enjoyment.
In general the writing style manages to be clear and
straightforward, but at the same time poetic. There are
occasional experiments in stylistic variation: sudden shifts in
POV or tense, a few dialogues in script-like form, etc. I
sometimes find that sort of thing annoying, but here I didn't
mind, perhaps because I was so caught up in the story. I also
like the quotes from various famous writers at the beginning of
each episode, which IMO are wonderfully apt and which also
provide the evocative episode titles.
At the same time, the hard science is good and hard, and the
author clearly knows what he's talking about; no bafflegab here,
but some fascinating extrapolations. I can't think of any other
B7 fan story that deals so well with Big Ideas of the science
fictional kind. How I'd love to see a film version, with the
actors as they were ten years ago, and a big budget for suitably
spectacular special effects!
Highly recommended, and I'll be very interested to hear what
others think of it.

Right. I just mailed "Live and Kicking" (the Saturday morning

to their parents that the show is being repeated. Well you can

"Innumerable connections with *Dr. Who*?!?" That makes about as
much sense as saying that *Star Trek* (TOS) has innumerable
connections with *Have Gun, Will Travel*. After all, Gene
Roddenberry wrote quite a few scripts for HGWT, a lot of the
people who worked on HGWT went on to work on ST, and DeForrest
Kelley played a villain in one of the episodes.
None of which changes the fact that HGWT is a Western and that
Paladin is nothing like James T. Kirk. :)

Good idea.
I'm trying the publicity people and the BBC website and I've written to Radio
Times.
I imagine the more people that write, the more likely they are to take notice,
though I'd always make sure that letters are friendly and polite.

All right, I will go ahead and ask the utterly predictable question -
are the trousers padded, or was that really all Darrow?

Go on, go on... Seriously, details on costuming and props are of
interest not just to the utterly obsessed, but to fanfic writers who
want to get the details right, and costumers. The Exhibition Catalogue
is certainly useful, but a detailed costume manual would be a jolly nice
thing (smiles sweetly).

And a jolly good job you did of it, too.

Inquiring minds want to know! <grin>

Just to add a vital detail - at the moment Linda can only take orders by
credit card for payment in US dollars, so if you choose another currency
option you won't be offered the credit card facility. There's nothing to
stop people outside the US ordering in US dollars with their card of
course, it just means they won't know exactly how much it will cost them
until they get the statement showing the exchange rate used by their
bank that day.
Judith's about to have credit card facilities (it will take a couple of
weeks to get it up and running), and this will be in available in
several currencies.

Just a thought, please feel free to shoot it down without a thought, but
given a desire to get new people watching, anybody else think it might be a
good idea to try and avoid obvious spoilers.
Just thought I'd mention it.
