Pros Fic Reading Challenge - Read a ProsFic this Week

[macklingirl.livejournal.com]

I just finished the zine Tenderloin by Vicky L. Martin. (don't know for sure but don't think it's online.)

I must admit I had some problems with this story. Not with the style in which is is written, but with some inconsistencies, like the time someone will think he's starving. And it is a very hard stuff and I don't think I'll read it again too soon.

What do you think? Do you know the zine and if you know it, do you like it? Or do you dislike it?

I haven't read this one - don't think I ever came across it being sold, although I kept my eyes open for it. It's not in the UK Paper Circuit library list, or in the current ProsLib list either. Sounds interesting, though maybe frustrating, so I'll keep my eyes open still!

I have the zine, but thought maybe I'll be lucky and find it online. I found it at the Wayback Machine. Wayback Machine meercat stories (http://web.archive.org/web/20080229052838/http://www.texastribe.org/meercat/homewriting.htm)

It's one of four Pros stories she's written. I'm going to save the other three too. Oh, there only part 1 and part 2 of Tenderloin, I think I'll send it via email. *g*

Sorry, no I've never read this story.

If you would like to read it, you can find it here Wayback Machine meercat's stories (http://web.archive.org/web/20080229052838/http://www.texastribe.org/meercat/homewriting.htm)

It's splitt into three parts and only part one and two can be found here. If you would like to read part three too, let me know and I can send it to you via e-mail.

Would love to read part three -
Found parts 1 & 2 so would like to know how the stories ends.

Thanks.

I had never heard of this zine until I went to look it up. I do see it's a gen zine. It's mentioned on fanlore but no reviews.

[macklingirl.livejournal.com]

Depends on how you read it. It could be pre-slash too.

Part one and two can be found here Wayback Machine meercat's stories (http://web.archive.org/web/20080229052838/http://www.texastribe.org/meercat/homewriting.htm)

Let me know if you would like to read part three too. I have the zine and can send a scan.

I don't generally "change in my mind" a rating given by a writer. It it's supposed to be gen, then it's gen to me, and I don't usually read it. I hae a hard time seeing slash if it's not really there. Old brain, I suppose! I have a huge box of slash zines at my house that I still haven't ever read. Recently I cracked open a Jane novel. I'll see how it goes. Thanks for the info and offer! I think a few other folks are interested in it. It's really nice of you to offer it.

I know what you mean. I didn't know that it was gen. I only took the zine out of my shelf and started reading and it was very late that I realised that it wasn't a slash novel.

Everytime I look at my shelf I see The Hunting Book 1-5 looking at me, whispering "read us, read us now". I think after the Big Bang I should start reading it.

I have not read The Hunting series but I did read all 700 pages of Magikal! Go for it!

That's one I don't know and till now don't have. I think I should go and look if there is someone who wants to sell it. :-)
