Introduction

BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE!

Here we are again with a second incarnation of Blue Eyes and Blue Jeans. We have several of your old favorite authors and a large supply of new ones included. Isn’t it exciting that, after all these years, new people are still drawn to create stories about S&H?

Speaking of “drawn” (she segues shakily), we have three excellent artists represented in this zine. Linda, the cover art is fantastic! I wish all the readers could see the originals in their full-sized glory. J.J., your striking portraits are a great addition. Evelyn, welcome. Your rendering of “The Guys” is excellent!

We hope you’ll enjoy this zine as much as the first. Lynn has sent more of her truly exquisite poetry. Mary Louise continues the adventures of “Golden Boy” and his curly-haired counterpart in an as-yet-to-be-named universe. Emily has sent a tale with a twist that might remind you of a controversial scene from an unnamed television series. We’ve all heard of “insurance salesmen” stories, but no one else could write one the way Eleanor and Letitia did! Linda once again exhibits her knack of looking at the world from a very unique experience.

Some very talented writers are making their S&H debut here. Telana handed me some stories at ZebraCon to “look over and tell me what you think.” Within hours of reading them, I was on the phone to long distance information getting her number so I could plead to be allowed to publish them! Flamingo lives up to her reputation in another fandom as a great writer. (Plus she’s loads of fun to gab with over the phone.) Fee’s offering is as entertaining as her personal letters, and take my word for it, those are a delight. We have a warm “feel-good” story from Ginger, who was a pleasure to work with. I wrote Carolyn on the off chance that she might “possibly have something in mind” for a story. Back came “Pearls Beyond Price.” I know you’ll love it. Isobel—in addition to being a very bad influence—knocked my socks off with two excellent stories—the very first she has written. And just when I thought the zine was complete, I received a contribution—a very pleasant surprise—from Lari. Thanks!

To all of you contributors: “There will be another zine. Please, let’s have more, more, more from all of you!”

The “Alternative Universe” principle—most SH writers respect the events of the series as ‘canon’ when creating a story. The only difficulty with this approach arises when one wants to write a love story set anywhere prior to “Sweet Revenge.” To most fans, the characters of SH don’t lend themselves to the premise that they shared a casual sexual relationship while continuing to date, yet the guys were competing over women right up until the end of the series. Options are to make all stories post “Sweet Revenge,” or to be a little flexible in viewing a particular story as an entity separate from the series timeline. In this sense, while we have remained true to the series’ events preceding the events of the tale, some of these stories might be considered alternate universe.

Well, this had gone on longer than I had planned (which is why the print’s so small). Please send LOCs to me or to Heidi, who can be depended on to pass them on. Enjoy!
