This presumably being the same John kenneth Muir whose Dr Who tome was
killed for copyright reasons- looks like he's two for two so far, so I
wouldn't hold my breath...

I've seen SIO. I think it resembles B7 in that both
invest screen time in depicting human relationships.
Isn't that refreshing. SIO even has sexuality. SIO
is not so strong an Action Drama as B7 and the humor
is confined so far to the cute little robots.

Sheelagh says she's willing to do a short run of Liberatored (tape 3 with Paul,
Gareth and Micheal which has currently sold out) if there's sufficient demand.

If you're interested, please contact me.  The price would be the same as the
other tapes, but only if there are enough people to make it cost effective.

An out of context paragraph from Rec.Arts.DrWho (on the subject of "Are the
comic strips cannonical")-


"I'm not even sure that DWM has the ambition any more. The Cybermen and
revived Dalek strips were both interesting ideas but failures. The former
was hindered by its general incoherence (as if Alan Barnes were having
trouble with the grammar of one-page episodes) and the daft decision to
present Adrian Salmon's wonderful black-and-white art in colour. The latter
was a reactionary idea anyway, came across as very outdated and made the
mistake of concentrating on stock, depthless human Tarrants
(characterisation Terry Nation style!) rather than the Daleks. Segments of
the original TV Century 21 strip come close to masterpieces of pulp
surrealism - 'Duel of the Daleks' and 'Shadow of Humanity' especially - but
the rest drop into shoddy xeroxing of Dan Dare whenever anything with legs
ventures onto the scene (this is an accusation you could level at every
other British sf strip of the 1960s mind you, but that's no excuse!)"

Any comments/reactions?

Linda's contacted me because she's had a sudden spate of people asking her if
she's getting out of fanzine sales.

She doesn't know where the rumours started (though the sheer volume of them
suggests that someone is spreading them with great enthusiasm).

I got a query myself two days ago on the same topic and didn't even need
to bother checking with Linda before denying the rumour.  I know the rate at
which she's adding new titles to her list!  It seems to be a rare week in which
at least one new title doesn't appear.

Indeed, Linda's message to me said that she is well, has no intention of giving
up doing fanzines and could people please pass this on to anyone they hear the
story from.
