Revolution is a zine novel by Madelein Lee. It is a four-way crossover between Star Trek, S&H, Pros and a fandom known as Tris and Alex: Tris and Alex are two rock gods with a remarkable resemblance to Robert Plant and Jimmy Page, a resemblance I know about because the covers have very lush art by Suzan Lovett :)

I borrowed this zine off a friend some time ago, and when I saw a copy for sale on zinelist, I jumped for it. It's got 191 pages and just under 500 words to a page, so it's 90,000 or more words. Whee!

( So, how do you mix four fandoms together? )

Liaisons II is a multi-media slash zine published by Up The Rebels Press in 1993. I presume it is out of print. It has 210 pages. There are four Pros stories, totalling 32 of those pages. Three of them are online: the remaining one is only six pages.

( Oh, and there is a very pretty cover... )

Full Circle is a multi-media slash zine published by The Nut Hatch Press in 1992. The Nut Hatch is gone now, so I presume this zine is out of print. I bought it second-hand via zine-list. None of the stories are (as far as I know) online. It has 164 pages. There are two Pros stories, totalling 25 pages, and three crossovers featuring Pros or an AU Bodie and Doyle, totalling 29 pages. So that's 54 of the 164 pages, or a little less than a third. Still, that's a lot of words...

( Words about those words )

Okay. Hope I can pull this off.

I have participated in DIALJ Christmasses twice before, and both times I have posted reviews of zines, specifically of multi-media zines with Pros stories in them. I did this because I thought that there was likely to be more discussion of Pros-specific zines and so I'd fill in some gaps.

But in fact there has not been that much zine discussion of any nature since then after all. Not that I can find, anyway. This is sad, because there are some cracking zines out there, and some of them are pretty easy to get hold of, whether you borrow or buy them. Some, alas, are trickier. And it's nice to know something about them so that you know whether you want particular ones, or how much of an effort you might be willing to go to for particular zines.

( So, for my day today... )

Okay, this is pure fluff. My excuse is, it's been a long, emotional day and I needed fluff!

Hello! Are you having a good day today? I hope so ;)

Here's the rest of the story. Summary from yesterday: Bodie and Doyle are at Wholefoods on High St. Kensington. Doyle leaves Bodie sipping coffee upstairs while he goes to shop for a loaf of bread but ends up on his knees with a knife at his throat.

( What happened next... )

Okay, this is your starter. There will be more tomorrow if lj likes me any better than it does today (which is not much). And I'm useless at titles, so this one might change. Let's see how tomorrow's offering progresses *g*

Eep! It's my day! Panic as I prepare to somehow screw up posting .... *g*

First of all, an apology: a handful of people have seen an earlier incarnation of this before, so to all of you - I'm so sorry this isn't new. To everyone else, well, ahem. This little revenge story is not particularly seasonal. Though you could consider gift-giving to be involved, if you're very generous and squint a bit ...

Today I am posting something I thought of for a *really* long time: a collection of Pros art. Unintentionally there might be missing some artists, so if you point me to names I will gladly add their works.

Since there isn't much of Christmas art in it, I will at least start and end with some christmas-sy.

cloudless_9193 is the first one.

( Have fun with a lot of art! )

This is a sequel to my last year's DIALJ contribution, Benevolence (linked). I think it's quite different in tone, however.

Whew! I am finally going to post these! A bit of an explanation: for the DIALJ Christmas 2011 I wrote a short story that was meant to be followed immediately by a companion story. However, Christmas 2011 was a bit fraught, being marked by a lost dog (fortunately found, miraculously in time, beside a very busy highway) and my mother's fall on Christmas Eve that led to a broken wrist and the realization that I couldn't care for her, at her stage of dementia, at home anymore. That was followed by a year of moving her into a nursing home, worrying, planning, and (the next year) selling the family home and moving into an apartment. Therefore, not only was the companion story never written, I didn't write at all for the last year. This post marks, I hope, a return to regular writing for me.

I am posting both stories here, since they really do need to be read together. The first you may well have read already, so I'll put it under its own cut. The trailer that, er, trails, applies to both stories. I am rusty at the writing and the posting, I'm afraid! But I hope you will enjoy these stories of Christmas with the lads. Happy Christmas to all who celebrate it, and all the best for everyone for the new year!

Happy winter solstice!

I'm all upside-down and over the ocean this year, and my world is not entirely my own, and yet again I haven't managed to finish off Two Go Adventuring Again in time for Christmas. I've been flapping all day, trying to write something, and I've finally managed a wee offering in a rather late response to a prompt from

starlite876 last year.

Just looking for something else in my journal and found these, from some time ago, friends-locked. With apologies to my friends list who may have seen them already, but here they are. Three drabbles.
