The Zander Nyrond Fanfic Poll

A many years ago, when I was young and dribbling, as some of you may know, I practiced fanfic scribbling...

I finished two and three-quarters Blake's Seven stories. Two and a half of them were published, two in the second and fourth issues of a zine called Frak, and the half as a self-contained thing called Links. Today I resurrected both halves of Links from the depths of the LocoScript files in which it was hidden, and while I have developed somewhat as a writer since then (gods, I should *hope* so) it doesn't actually read that badly. There is no slash, and the story does not revolve around who gets off with whom (though there is some of that going on in the background): what I was trying to do was end the series the way I wanted it to end, and I think I succeeded without being too contrived about it.

It seems unlikely that the second half would be publishable now (is anyone still writing B7 stuff?) but it kind of irks me that I never got it all out there.

So...

Well, I was thinking of

There is no room for quibbling, when he was young and dribbling, he practiced fanfic scribbling, a many years ago...

But that may be too close to the original.
