I've had a LiveJournal, vilakins for a while now, and have posted quite a bit of very short fiction to it and elsewhere on LiveJournal (LJ), including the weekly challange community b7friday.
I've also set up a guide to Blake's 7 on LJ and am also co-moderator of some other B7 communities on LJ
![]() | b7fic, which provides links to Blake's 7 fiction on LJ and other sites |
![]() | b7recs, where people can post recommendations to Blake's 7 on-line fiction |
![]() | b7discussion, where people discuss any aspect of the series |
![]() | b7fanart, for Blake's 7 fan art |
Most of my LiveJournal stories are between 100 words (drabbles) and 500 words (or slightly over). I shall try to update this page regularly, but there will always be an up-to-date list on my LJ memories page which also lists favourites from other people and fandoms.
These stories may be short, but the challenges are a great way of forcing me to write characters and situations I mightn't otherwise choose.
