Thanks for doing another fabulous news letter, babe - you're a total star. The cabana boys are on their way...

Thanks for this! By the way, I saw this recently, don't know if you noticed it:

http://otw-news.livejournal.com/216372.html

Sharon Wheeler, in "From Secret Police to Gay Utopia: How a Professionals Slash Writer Disrupts Readers' Expectations" focuses on The Professionals (1977–1983) and provides a close reading of an alternate universe fan fiction series.

The actual article is in this: http://journal.transformativeworks.org/index.php/twc/issue/view/13

Oh, I didn't saw it! How I managed to miss it, being subscripted to OTW news AND being a volunteer there, is beyond my understanding.

But I'll be blame the booz, because it always ends then, anyway :P

Thank you! And I totally will fix the newsletter adding that linh as soon as I hit Post :D

[hutchynstarsk.livejournal.com]

No blame!!! :) Thanks for adding it.

I'm sure some people will be interested since it's a well-known and well-loved story. :)
