Flying a dead ship

[altariel]

For those who are interested, I have spent a happy few hours collecting together my Blake's 7 fiction and putting it online under the account name deadship, as in: "It takes talent to fly a dead ship." (I thought the title would work if ever I decided to write Firefly fiction.)

Not all of the fiction is publicly available - some of the stories first appeared in zines, and some of these zines are still for sale. If you're interested in reading the locked entries, leave a comment in one of the public entries, or friend the journal and I'll friend back.

If you don't mind flaky sets and flaky acting, you might well be fine with B7.

Oooh, flaky sets and flaky acting -- like in ST:TOS or (even better) "Space Patrol: The Adventures of the Orion"? :)

I have not seen Space Patrol, although a quick surf suggests I would like it immensely. B7 is very like Dr Who, only it all takes much longer.

Well, I haven't seen Dr. Who -- it is rather hard to get in Germany unless you immediately want to buy the whole series (or at least a set of episodes) on video. I suspect I might have the same problem with Blake 7.

It's hard to get B7 here in the UK these days; the DVDs are having something of an erratic release. Not sure if the videos are even still available.

I think there goes my hope of broadening my horizons as far as flaky space operas are concerned. I guess I'll just have to comfort myself by watching a ST:TOS re-run over Christmas. Chances are high that at least one German channel shows a few episodes. I'd like to see Tribbles again! :)

And there's the episode of Deep Space Nine that homages the TOS tribble episode: 'Trials and Tribble-ations'.

I have certainly heard of that one, but I have never actually seen it. I should probably persuade my Trekkie friends to do a video night together with me. Not that they'd need much persuasion...
