As Smooth as a Waltz

As Smooth as a Waltz is a Professionals gen anthology of fiction, non-fiction, clippings, ads, photos, and LoCs. It was published by Anne Marie Caluwaert in Belgium.

There are at least four issues. 
In a 2007 posting to a fanzine mailing list, "As Smooth as a Waltz " was described as a letterzine.
In a 2010 Livejournal community posting, it was described as being made up of black and white "photocopied articles about Lew and some gen fanfiction about Bodie and Doyle". The zine was published in Belgium in the 1990s.

Murphy got out of the car and turned toward Bodie. "I think he wants an explanation," he said, pointing to the r/t. Bodie pulled a face. "He can't have heard the shots," he said indignantly. ... Ann kept her eyes on her shows, tears slowly staring to run down her face. "Thank you, Ray...." she beneath her breath. Her voice trembled under the strain of keeping her grief to herself. Doyle made no attempt to reply. He left the office, running down the corridor and just catching the lift taking the last group of agents to the car park. Ann looked at the door and at the feeble light wich through it. "I'm really sorry, Ray, I love you," she whispered through her tears.")
