Hi, long time no post. Sorry sadly v that but one reason it's I've been reading through a big cache of old fanzines that showed up for a while...most very defunct but one wasn't and so taken down, fair enough. But I have a big appetite for the fanfic. Some is just SO GOOD. I'm hoping to find Suzan Lovett stories, 5 of them, in The Road To Hell ..idk if that's a zine. Especially I would like to read Circle of Fire and Doppelganger... Can anyone help me? I know some were in a Powerplay zine So grateful if you can! |

Powerplay Vols 1 & 2 and Those Who Favor Fire are the zines you want if, like me, you like the zines themselves. There is nothing enduring about the interwebs. HOWEVER, you don't have to look far if you want to read online: https://web.archive.org/web/201602231...index.html Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Thanks so much! Yes I prefer online, all those zines are defunct. Someone uploaded a huge collection on internet archive but it was taken down because a couple were still going. Sad, though, because many were seriously obscure And copyright or no, these works are often great and they should be preserved. There's nothing like B7. A four series show, dead these 40 years and it still packs a convention. Edited by SupremeCommanderDiane on 11-07-2024 02:26 |

Many if them circulate on ebay every day and some are even available as new prints from some of the publishers. I haven't looked with that specific intention in mind recently, but I think I saw some Powerplays whizz past my eyes on ebay the other day. I prefer the paper copies because of their tactility and because, as you've seen, internet archives can be taken down. But I love the illustrations, too, as part of the experience. Together, text and illustration hold a big part of the history of Blake's 7 fandom. Also, enquiring after them often puts one in touch with previous fans and zine sellers who have their own interesting tales to tell. I have seriously large collection myself which is recorded but which I really must produce a handy alphabetised list of one day.  Given chances of doing that in the near future are slim, I'm sorry to say that digitising the zines themselves is a way-off dream. Sorry about that, otherwise I'd send you copies.
