We’re pleased to announce the production of the GAUDA PRIME SOCIAL CLUB FANZINE - ISSUE 2!

We’re back to bring you another bumper issue of Blake’s 7 goodness! You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll wonder why you’re still here a year on my god has it really been a year? A YEAR?! WHAAAA

Well, sit down, stop screaming, uncover those ears and listen!

We’re looking for your best, most tantalising works to showcase in this highly respectable, legitimate publication! Fic, art, filk, games, memes, interpretive dance step guides - so long as it can be printed on paper, we want it!

*******

The details:

Just like last year, we will be making a digital PDF and A4 print copy of the zine (print copies will be available through Lulu.com around the $15USD mark not including postage as is print cost only - no profits are made through these sales! See The House Always Sins March 2021 for more details or to get your own copy - highly autographable collector’s item!)

No word limit - hooray! We are happy to take any sized submissions, within reason. Go on, test our reason.

For non-fic written submissions, keep in mind that your layout should fit on an A4 page.

Gen/slash/het/whump/gore/vore/fluff/crack - whatever you like! The only things we will NOT accept are any works with racism/sexism/ableism/LGBTQI+phobia/pedophilia or underage content or anything else along these lines. If you are unsure, please ask us! The editors’ decision on this is final.

Please, no character bashing. We are here to enjoy all the weird and wonderful creatures in B7. Yes, even Jarvik. Whump is okay. Whump is vital.

Crossovers and related media HIGHLY ENCOURAGED! This year, we are opening up the floor to any submissions from smaller, related fandoms. This is an open invitation to drag out that old Star Maiden’s fic you wrote in a shameful drunken haze last Christmas, or dust off the Morgan’s Boy/B7 crossover that you promised you wouldn’t start writing while you were making a fanzine that shall not be named here for privacy purposes. We will be a bit more strict with this rule: your fic/art should feature the B7 actor from the show in question (we are a B7 fanzine, after all!). Again, if you’re unsure, just message us!

Extra details for visual submissions:

Please make sure your submissions fit an A4 layout or smaller. The print version of the zine will be using a bleed, so if your submission is a full-page piece, the edges may be slightly trimmed. To avoid this, you are welcome to submit a print-friendly version of your art (or just don’t draw any super-important details too close to the edge of the pic ;) ) For reference: A4 is 3508px by 2480px, or 3579px by 2551px with the bleed we'll be using.

No screenshots or copyrighted images - the likelihood of being sued/taken down is very low, but let’s keep it as safe as possible. Manips that are sufficiently different from original material are welcome! (Not sure? Check out the rear cover of The House Always Sins. We haven’t been sued yet, so that’s probably fine!)

Other types of submissions such as filk/games/etc. are welcome and encouraged too - be as creative as you like!

All works should be original and not published already online or elsewhere. Collaborations/remixes/translations are welcome! But please make sure to provide confirmation that you have okayed any such works with the original work authors as well before submitting. We WILL be asking for proof!

Our deadline for submissions is February 28th 2022, for a release date of March 31st 2022!

Any questions or anything you want to talk over, please don’t hesitate to send one of us a message! Happy creating!

Krantor was running an Iron Chef style cooking show in a basement in Freedom City. The room was dark, lit only by the lights coming from the flowing water features that lined the walls and the glowing basins by the cooking stations.

I had a haircut like Servalan’s on one side of my head, long hair on the other. I can’t recall who I was competing against, but Krantor (the judge) had his money on me. We did very little cooking, and within a minute of the competition starting, my opponent was hurling tortillas at me mercilessly and with surprising skill.

We then morphed into different AU versions of Avon, my opponent insulting me in French(Avd) and I screaming back in German(Mgs) (which, for some reason, were the languages we’d written these AUs in).

Once I’d beaten my opponent in our Euro-tortilla fight and Krantor declared me winner, that awful dumpy woman from The Way Back came along with her husband (John Savident’s non-Egrorian role) and tried to tell me that my crew had been cut off from the FC Iron Chef event due to flooding on the roads and I questioned how the hell someone could be cut off by flooding in SPACE. 

When the dream changed (and I partially woke up and then fell back to sleep again), I could download all my dreams into text and images, which was frankly AMAZING because these notes I wrote down in a stupor this morning were almost illegible. I posted my dream to the mod channel in @gaudaprimesocialclub and was genuinely confused when I woke up this morning and it wasn’t there.

A BRAND NEW (NSFW) BLAKE'S 7 FANZINE brought to you by the really nice riffraff at the Gauda Prime Social Club Discord server!

In honour of Gauda Prime Day, we present a song: Gauda Prime Apartment Complex

Featuring vocals by @foreignobjecticus, guitar by @bunn1cula and lyrics by @sothatsagoodthing. Based on Mariners Apartment Complex by Lana Del Rey.

Lyrics:

You took my sentence out of context At the Gauda Prime Rebellion Complex I ain’t no Federation tool

I’m the man, the legend, the master Yeah I know, my face is a disaster But you’ll still follow in my shoes 

And what you’ve done in the years since I’ve seen ya You almost look like a die-hard believer Maybe you’ve forgiven me my sins

So kiss me now and say that you’ll join me Finally you found us, you found me I set all this up, waiting for you

We’ll find a way, just take my hand You look confused, and honestly you seem a little mad What’s with that gun? Don’t point it here, that’s where I am

BANG–BANG–BANG

They mistook my acting for evil I fucked up, I know that, but Deva Can’t a guy just do the best he can?

Catch a dude and sell him for money Think about it, it’s really kinda funny, How could Avon ever fall for that?

How could he think that I’m a deceiver? I’ve put on weight but I’m still a leader! And the bastard shot me where I stand!

But maybe now he’s here he’ll join the resistance Can’t keep us apart, no matter the distance Come on Avon, give it one more try

Do you lust for the sensuous thrill of a softcover sliding against your fingertips?

Do you relish the intoxicating aroma of freshly printed Blake’s 7 fanfic and art on pretty nice paper stock?

Not sure what went wonky but it might have been an old invite code. Here's a new one!
