Hi Clare

Although I'm sure Paramount will reply directly to your post soon, I will go ahead with mine.
If you feel that Paramount's strip and our ongoing discussion thread is 'unsavoury' then you have every right to express this on the forum (but please bear in mind it is only 'your opinion' and not anyone else's). You do not have to read our posts, or read any of the strips that Paramount temporarily posts on this thread. You can ignore the content completely and proceed to post & read the other threads on this forum (which I implore you to continue to do so as I have enjoyed both reading & replying to your thoughts in the past as you come across as a very passionate & dedicated fan of UFO :)

Also if you remember my earlier posts I stated that I always support all those fanfic writers & artists who try to keep the brand of UFO (ie: a 50-year old TV show) alive. I even posted a glowing review for one of these fanfic stories (ie: UFO - How it all ended ) on this forum to encourage UFO fans & newbies to check out more UFO fanfic etc.

The UFO strip that Paramount has created (which received a lot of support from both male & female UFO fans alike in its production) is both an original & amazing piece of work, that also includes other franchises such as Dr Who etc. It is brilliantly rendered and really captures the iconic look of the UFO show. There is nothing too 'adult orientated' within the content of the comic strip that wasn't conveyed to some degree within the UFO show itself. Both Paramount, and the other fanfic artists & writers have kindly shared their work with other UFO fans for free (whereas Fanderson are charging a lot of money to fans for their publications).  Paramount, along with the other fanfic writers, should be praised for their work in trying to keep a 50-year old show alive. In short you really do not have to read the UFO strips/ fanfic if you do not like them, but please do not discourage these writers from sharing their work with other UFO fans with your comments.
