| title of story, novel, or novella: | Thin Air |
| author: | Amiroque la KiTzorra |
| your review: | This really is cleverly written. Amorique has managed to create a moving, poignant piece while at the same time staying in character. Although the writing style doesn't really 'flow' well in places, it really is an enjoyable read, and much higher in quality than a lot of other Angst fics. I like the idea of Vorik 'missing' his and B'elanna's near-friendship; and also the fact that he doesn't really understand his emotions regarding her. |

| title of story, novel, or novella: | Gleamin' The Tubes |
| author: | Veronica Jane Williams |
| your review: | I can tell you now, I am a huge fan of Veronica Jane Williams stories, especially the Desterium (I know that's spelled wrong) series and the matchmaker series that interludes with the Word-I- Can't-Spell series. Gleamin' The Tubes is a wonderful kids story, as well as adult. She describes Naomi Wildman, Elizabeth Paris, and Jamie Whatever so well. It is VERY interesting and fun to read. |

| title of story, novel, or novella: | The Steep and Thorny Way |
| author: | Tara O'Shea |
| your review: | Usually, I'm not a big fan of the "diary-as- story" idea - I tend to think that does a lot more "telling" than "showing", which can get *awfully* boring - but this short story actually makes it work. A simple series of personal log entries, told from the point of view of Noah Lessing, one of the survivors of the *Equinox* - this story brings what was only a rather minor, supporting character into stark, almost painful relief. I have to admit, I don't think I ever thought there was this much to Noah Lessing. What made this story really wonderful, in my opinion, was that there's no easy catharsis, no simple way out of it for the surviving *Equinox* crewmen... and that Noah Lessing doesn't think there should be. That's really the crux of it: for months, years, he stood back and did nothing in the face of genocide. His indictment of himself is, naturally, going to be the harshest of them all. Also a wonderful touch is the tip o' the hat to Mr. Spider Robinson. Those that have read him will know what I mean when they read the story. Ah, what a Place... Overall, quite a compelling story. I'd give it a 10... but then I never give anything above an 8. So figure out what *that* means. :) |

| title of story, novel, or novella: | Best Interests |
| author: | Lesa L. |
| your review: | Okay, I openly admit that I am a sucker for anything having to do with Meg Delaney. But Lesa found a very strong voice for the character, and managed to actually develop Meg a bit, rather than simply use her as a surrogate in order to comment on Voyager's senior staff. A nice little slice-of-life vigentte, and a very nice view of Harry Kim, as well. |
