Lancer at 55: Images of Scott

. . This special LANCER55 post is chock full of images. We all have them tucked away in corners of our PCs and tablets: screengrabs, or copies of publicity shots, or images carefully scanned from old TV articles and magazines. To celebrate the anniversary, we’ve collected as many good pictures of Scott as we could

Lancer at 55: The Hacienda and the Huntze family archive

. Normally in February we send you a note about all the Valentine’s Day stories we have, a reminder of the love stories and sweet romances those Lancer boys keep falling into. Not this year.

Mid-Month Memo 17: Lost Authors – Preserving Their Legacy

. We have a new specialist title page on the website, dedicated to preserving the legacy of authors who have been lost to the fandom over time. It’s a sad fact that writers come and go, and their stories become ‘orphaned’ on mailing lists and FB groups.  Many stories on this page were rescued from

November gives us two opportunities to share themed stories with you: Veteran’s Day/Memorial Day on 11th November, and Thanksgiving on 24th.

Mid-Month Memo 14: Hallowe’en

       Another opportunity to remind you of our specials collections lists of titles, where we list stories around particular themes. Our collection of Hallowe’en stories comes second only to the Christmas set – there’s something about the holiday that brings out the ghostliness in our writers, it seems! Enjoy being scared and spooked by the

Mid-Month Memo 11: Romantic Valentine’s Day Stories

Do enjoy them, along with your chocolates and champagne… (The)

Giving Feedback To Lancer Authors

For the second time in a month, an author has pulled their stories from the archive because they are getting no feedback from their readers. Their stories are being read – we can see that from the statistics the website software collects, and those statistics show that this particular author’s entire series was being read
