1 less cat

Bro found the outside cat that's been missing for days. Under mom's car, which won't start. We knew he was dying. Many of the outsiders have an untreatable terminal illness, but neither of us have the heart (or feel like spending the money) to have them put down. Goodbye Zipper. A few photos of him in happier days are at the bottom of this page.

Ways to HEX 'Blake' (another old email)

HEX is an acronym for 'Happy Ending eXpediters', B7 fanficcers who take depressing stories and go on to redeem them into hopeful endings. *WARNING* Don't attempt to HEX anyone's stories unless they volunteer them. Don't even ask to do them. But you can play with canon HEXing all you like.

(  The episode 'Blake' is the HEXers favorite. Here are some I recall reading/ writing. )

Author Reviews (old email)

A member of the adult B7 mailing list read confusing rules for a story archive and at first thought it said a STORY could be rated by the author (what it actually said was that a review could be rated by the author- which sounded to me like a good way not to get any reviews). She thought it would be funny if authors rated their own stories, particularly if you did it when first posting it, and then at intervals later.

( I thought it would be funny, too. )
