Horizon Newsletter

Horizon Newsletter is a gen Blake's 7 newsletter that contains primarily nonfiction but also fiction, poetry, and/or fan art. 
It has a sister zine, a collection of the interviews in The Horizon Interviews, which reprinted fourteen interviews that had previously appeared in this newsletter. It also has a sister zine of fiction called Horizon and a letterzine called Horizon Letterzine.
The earlier editions were all photocopies; the publisher started having them professionally printed with #16. 
This newsletter was founded by Sharon Eckman, Diane Gies, and Pat Thomas.
==Full of Interviews==
This zine series had many interviews with the actors, producers, and other people officially involved in creating Blake's 7.
Some of those interviews were reprinted in The Horizon Interviews, where Diane Gies added some commentary.
There were plans to print more of them, but it is possible The Blake's 7 Wars put a bit of a brake on them.

* The Michael Keating Interview, conducted by Diane Gies and Heather Lulham (February 20, 1982 at a fan's home, also in attendance were Pat Thomas, Maggie, and Sharon Eckhart) ("I was actually crying [in that scene in "Orbit"] and they cut it because they said it was too real. I was actually crying because he was the one person I would, OK - not trust 100% - but he was the one person that I could kind of rely on, after being with him for a long time and I actually got quite emotional about it. They thought it was wrong and I suppose they're up there and decide what to burn and we're down here. They thought it would become horrific otherwise and they thought that wasn't right for the programme. They wanted more of a comedy thing out of it.")

Horizon Newsletter 21 was published in October 1988 and contains 88 pages. It was edited by Diane Gies.
The zine is online here.
* this issue notes that the "ridiculous '28-day video law' ... whereby the Government was planning to make it illegal to keep video recordings of ANYTHING for longer than 28 days, was abandoned, although they are still planning legislation concerning video recordings (and audio)."
* the editor offers up a plan for fans feeling disgruntled at having to wait a long time for newsletters to be published in order to get news: "send 4 ordinary sized stamped, self-addressed envelopes PLUS a cheque or PO payable to Horizon for 50p.... This will entitle you to 4 newsflashes... We will be issuing them whenever anything we think will be of interest occurs, but certainly 2 and possibly more will be sent out between newsletters."
* the editor reports that the mess regarding this club's US agent has been straightened out, but not after losing money (several hundred pounds) -- it was due to the fan in the US totally dropping the ball on correspondence and sitting on checks and orders
* a fan writes that "And just to pre-empt any future comment, I must make it clear now that the amazing resemblance between "fly Late Lamented Friend" by Fliss Davies and a story which is scheduled to appear in Interface 12 of the same title is purely coincidental. All I can say is that, obviously, great minds think alike. (Except I wrote the situation the other way around and, subject to Yvette Clarke's scrutiny and approval, there will be further adventures of 'Avon and Blake (Deceased)' to come.) Meantime Fliss, congratulations on such a great idea, but please be assured that I'm not a plagiarist!"
