So I wanted to head off anyone else who may have been about to make the same offer from doing extra work.

(The commedy Paul Darrow is currently filming.) Ironically Paul isn't in that episode. Sheelagh Wells is doing make up on the series.

Now putting the Aussie B7 zine on the endangered list... The postman just delievered a flyer to me from Nikki White.. Part of it read: MULTIVERSE #30 "At last a new issue of MV and it is the FINAL issue.. Yes, folks after 20 years and 30 issues, I've decided to put MV to bed for good. Contributions have all but dried up in the past few years, hence the delay so why flog a dead horse?" On the good news side Nikki went on to say: "However, I will continue to produce, Centero, my discussion zine." Let's hope that the couple remaining Aussie zines stay viable for a long time to come.. Maybe a resurgence is possible, after all, JJ Adamson is once again producing UFO zines here in Australia.. We can always hope!

B7 cast news in from Horizon: +Stephen Greif+ has just finished a pilot for a new radio comedy series called 'Quando, Quando, Quando' in which he plays six parts!! He's also been doing a lot more voiceover work, including for Iceland's TV and radio ads. +Gareth Thomas+ was unable in the end to join the Fab Cafe in Manchester's 1st birthday party (29 June) as he was called in for filming that night on 'Heartbeat'. Diane has kept the emails/SAEs of everyone who responded to the Newsflash/website bulletin asking for tickets to the party as Fab Cafe are hoping to have a special 'Gareth night' at the Cafe in the future so you'll be first in the queue for tickets. Gareth is also going to be playing a Police Sergeant in Ep. 1 of 'The Strangerers'. Alas, like in B7, Gareth is in episode 1 but Paul isn't!! +Jan Chappell+ will shortly be filming 'Wildflowers' for an American TV company. +Sally Knyvette+ recently did her first Video Presenting job on a videeo called +Cafe Spice Namaste+ for Cyrus Todi Walla, a well known Indian cook who owns the Cafe Spice Namaste restaurant in Battersea, London. The video will be sold over the internet. Sally has also been working on some audio books. +Josette Simon+ is starring as Queen Elizabeth in +Don Carlos+ at The Other Place, Stratford-on-Avon (in rep) for the RSC until 7 October (Box Office 01789 403403) as well as continuing in rep as Titania in +A Midsummer Night's Dream+ for the RSC at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre (BO 01789 295623). +Jacqueline Pearce+ Jacqueline is performing a one-woman show called 'A Star is Torn' at the Edinburgh Festival this year. More news in the next few days but Jacqueline and her director are planning to offer Blake's 7 fans something very special if they'd like to go along to see her. The show is on for 3 weeks, but a special date or two (Sat 14 or Sun 15 August) will include a special meeting with Jacqueline after the show (it's a lunchtime show - starting at 1pm) This +must+ be booked via Diane Gies - email her on diane@horizon.org.uk Full info will be available very soon. If you can't go on the special Group Outing days the show is still well worth seeing, but Jacqueline can't guarantee to be available after the show on other dates (though that first week from 10 August will be better than later in the run). +Free colour photos!!+ Horizon has exclusive At-The-Recording photos from the recording of episodes 1 and 2 of the new CD SF Comedy series +Soldiers of Love+ Anyone buying Part 1 - Genesis through Horizon will receive a free photo with their CD entitled "So when DID you last see Kerrill?" of Micheal Keating & Colin Baker, and anyone buying Part 2 - Deathtraps will receive with their CD a free photo entitled "Hollywood Calling" of Michael Keating & Gareth Thomas.

It's not that one or the other is necessarily so much more important, but that, in fanfic, the show's myriad elements are separable. If one wants to explore the Blake/Avon character dynamic in a different setting, one can cut everything else away. Of course, if one wants to write a story about life under the Federation, one can use minor or wholly invented characters without even mentioning the Liberator and its crew. Alternatively, one could do the opposite of what's above and do a story with: Fox Mulder as Roj Blake Dana Scully as Jenna Stannis Walter Skinner as Oleg Gan Alex Krycek as Vila Restal The CSM as Kerr Avon Gibson Praise (the chess-playing psychic boy) as Cally The late Deep Throat as the voice of Zen and Frohike, Byers and Langly as (the three personalities of) Orac or perhaps not.

[Cue much rejoicing] ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 29 Jun 1999 23:30:12 +0100 From: Julia Jones To: space-city@world.std.com, blakes7@lysator.liu.se Subject: [B7L] prints from Val Westall Message-ID: Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 It has occurred to me (after requests at cons) that perhaps one reason people prefer to buy the gen prints and originals of Val's artwork is that the het and slash ones are a little...well, indiscreet in A4 size. Accordingly, I have mastered the art of making A5 and A6 prints. I will be putting a catalogue up on the web in due course (at least of the ones that are clean because they're either gen or the artistic rather than erotic nudes), but in the meantime any of the greyscale art from _Tales from Space City_, _The Endless Farce_ and _Vem Quest_ is available scanned at 150 dpi and printed on a 600 dpi laser printer in A4, A5 and A6 sizes. They can be printed on either matt card, or on the silk textured paper used for the art plates in _Tales_ and _Farce_, both in white. I'll be adding some other recently published pieces as I get the originals scanned. For the benefit of those unfamiliar with ISO paper sizes, A4 is the size roughly similar to letter size; A5 is the size you get when you fold an A4 sheet in half, about 8 inches by 6 inches; and A6 is A5 folded in half, about 6 inches by 4 inches, or postcard size. The postcard size is also available laminated using 500 micron pouches - this gives a heavy and very stiff plastic mount suitable for using as a fridge magnet. Postage and packing prices for orders for several prints get very complicated courtesy of Royal Mail, so I'm giving the basic price for the print itself, then a table of p+p costs to be added to the cost of the prints. All prices are in pounds sterling. A6 (postcard) - unlaminated, each print £1 plus P+P as follows UK 1-7 50p 8-15 60p Eur 1-3 75p 4-7 85p 8-11 1.00 12-15 1.05 Zone1 1-3 1.30 4-15 1.40 Zone2 1-3 1.40 4-15 1.45 A6 (postcard) - laminated, each print £2 plus P+P as follows UK 1-4 35p 5-7 60p Eur 1-2 60p 3-4 70p 5 85p 5-7 90p Zone1 1-2 1.15 3-7 1.25 Zone2 1-2 1.20 3-7 1.30 A5 unlaminated, each print £2 plus P+P as follows UK 1-2 50p 3-5 60p Eur 1-2 90p 3-4 1.00 5-6 1.05 Zone1 1-6 1.30 Zone2 1-6 1.40 A4 unlaminated, each print £3 plus p+p as follows UK 1 70p 2-5 80p 6-9 90 Eur 1 1.05 2-3 1.25 4-5 1.40 Zone1 1 1.50 2-3 1.65 4-5 2.00 Zone2 1 1.55 2-3 1.75 4-5 2.10 10 cm strip of self-adhesive magnetic tape to turn a laminated postcard into a fridge magnet - UK/Eur 70p, Z1/Z2 80p I'll take US$ in CASH ONLY, but I'm not doing all that lot again - use a conversion factor of $1.65 to the pound and round up to the next dollar. I'll be going to the US in October and will be able to post at US domestic rates and accept money orders as well as cash for a couple of weeks. I can also supply prints of the colour artwork, but the cost of printing them is about to change and at the moment I don't know what the new price will be. p+p as above, prints some currently indeterminate amount more. A large part of the p+p cost for the unlaminated prints is the price of and postage on a card-backed envelope to protect them from being creased. If you order them at the same time as a zine, the zine will provide some protection, and you may choose to dispense with the card envelope *at your own risk*. I'll have to calculate the saving on individual orders. Yes, I'll also calculate p+p on orders of mixed sizes if you think it'll save you money.
