First Post

Hello. I like Vila and Gan, especially their friendship with each other, but also their friendships with other crew members. I do like Avon a lot too! I like all the seasons of Blake's 7, though possibly the first three more than the last one (though Soolin is cool and I'm glad we got to meet her). Sometimes I wish Gan hadn't been killed when he was, but then again, I'm not sure he would have fit in with Tarrant and Dayna, or with Avon being in charge, and the writers, I think, often didn't know what to do with him. Which makes me sad. But at least I have Vila and Avon for all the seasons!

I'm not sure yet how much I'll post here. I'm still checking the site out. Hopefully I'll post more later, and track down some B7 comms to join. Perhaps some fans will like me too?

I don't think Sally wrote that many fics, but they're all very good.

I still haven't read all my zines as I know I won't be getting any more. I don't remember that KITT one (I once sat in KITT!) and it's a pity so many are lost. Sometimes the authors digitise their stories and put them online like Mireille has been doing recently, but I think her stories are all set in S4 or after. Also, the stories from Hermit are now on AO3.

I don't like S4 either and really dislike S4 Avon. I can make up reasons for his behaviour but that only explains, it doesn't excuse. I do enjoy writing Vila and Avon banter (S1-S3 of course) because I can just hear them in my head, and that means the others don't get as much screen time. I really like Gan too, but they gave him so few lines, he doesn't have the distinctive speech patterns of the others - but oddly enough, I can hear his voice with Vila. I do think they were friends.

You're right about Games: not a bad ep, though Stratford Johns stuffed up his last lines making the end nonsense. Those Scorpio clip guns had a stun setting, and did you notice that Vila shut his eyes when he fired - and that the guard wasn't there later? In my fanon (I think I put it in Vila's Emails) he was practising but still couldn't look, and the guard woke up and left.

Volcano is another weird one, but Vila's great in it. He'll step up and act when no one else is able to, but I admit that he'll leave it to them if he can. :-)

You've acquired some great icons!

He's a lot brighter than he'd like people to know!

In the meantime you could get more icons and rotate them round the slots you have. :-)
