Forbidden Zone

Forbidden Zone is an explicit slash and het Blake's 7 anthology.
thumb|At the time the zine was published, many fans objected to the existence of slash fanfiction. This page combines the typical age statement warning along with a dedication: "Forbidden Zone Issue One is dedicated to the liberation of fantasies and resistance to those who would suppress our dreams." The themes of liberation and resistance were core elements of the Blake's 7 canon. The main character of Blake' had been falsely accused of child molestation and imprisoned in an effort to quell the resistance. |left
