UFO Slash

I am not in a position to use cut-and-paste to refer to the original
comments.

BUT: the fan-fiction genre known as 'slash' has no bearing or relationship
to the actors playing the characters (and writers in this genre know
this). And poorly written or not (reviews and critiques should be sent to
the authors, not the host and it's rare that smut isn't badly written)
slash represents a particular view of the CHARACTERS. If someone were
writing about Mr. Billington sleeping with Mr. Bishop - then the actors
and their families would have the right, indeed an obligation, to request
that it not be done since such an allegation, even in fiction, would be an
invasion of privacy and construed as slander.

However, Billington and Bishop DID NOT OWN the characters of Foster and
Straker. And slash (homosexual) stories concerning the UFO characters
existed long before the SHADO Library went on-line.

As to second season (series) UFO scripts expanding on a homosexual
relationship between Straker and Foster - as has been pointed out, no
scripts were written since the series was cancelled. While possible, it's
extremely unlikely that anyone was even working on story outlines for a
second season. And the issue of homosexuality would simply not be on the
radar. EVER.

As to what the original script writers were thinking while writing the
characters, only they know and chances are they don't remember - it was,
after all, a long time ago.

Look, the sexuality of the actor's is none of our business. What people
write in fan fiction is just that, fiction. But let's not turn Susan's idiocy
into rant on being gay. That to me makes this thread evens more disgusting,
making it seem like being gay is a BAD thing. I really hope that this group is
more tolerant than that.

BTW Marc, you DID ban her, right?

Oh dear, has SHADO acquired a "troll"? :-/ :-/


A good piece of advice might be - *DON'T* feed the trolls....!!!!! ;-D

Yes, this is good advice, and advice that I should follow myself!

Folks, getting upset about what our SHADO list troll posts is
exactly what he/she wants. They enjoy seeing message after
message in response to their posts (like this one!). And the
more upset the reply is, the better!

The best thing to do with a list troll is to ignore them. And
if someone needs help with this, as list moderator I will happily
delete replies to the list troll. Hopefully we won't have to
go into 100% moderation mode for this (where all messages must
be reviewed for approval), but it may come to that,,,

On that note, I wanted to let you know that I am going to have to go "no
mail" due to heart surgery next week. But I wanted you and the rest of the group
to know that I have enjoyed learning more about the technical aspects of the
show, along with interesting sense of humor in this group. I have also been
given that chance to interact with people who not only seem to be more
technically proficient than most fans, but have a deep connection to characters in
the show.

Happy Everything You Celebrate, and I will be back in a few weeks.
Peace! Wendy

Yes you will if only for my dumb jokes.

Don't forget that the hospital gown is supposed to be tied at the back.
I made that mistake once and will never live it down.

I got out of the Hospital last night. My room had an indoor window and there
was no way I could get to the potty without being seen. So you guessed it, I
"mooned" them. I only wish my husband has been there to paint a picture of
Moonbase and an interceptor on my tushy.

Hope the surgery goes well, and you have a speedy recovery. You will be missed. So hurry up and get better, and get your butt back here! : )

That woulda been cool, Wendy! You could have even had a re-creation of Paul Foster and The Alien traversing the crevasse on a rope, from the episode Survival!!
