==Description==
In her online bio (likely 2010) on her webpage (now offline): 
==Why the Press Ceased==
From a 1993 flyer: 
In 2007, Vendredi Press ceased publishing because, according to Deb Walsh, it was becoming harder: 
The editorial in the last issue of B7 Complex (July 1988) is a bitter one, referring to drudgery, bootleggers, whiners, and assholes: 
From the publisher's website, circa 2010: 
In September 2010, Walsh announced a plan for a series of small size, short press-run commemorative zines, to mark various milestones in her fannish career, planned to culminate with a final zine in August 2012, on the 35th anniversary of her first zine. New Zines? This, however, did not occur.

Vengeance Most Fowl

Wallace and Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl is a 2024 stop-motion animated film directed by Nick Park and Merlin Crossingham. It marks the return of the beloved duo, Wallace and Gromit, in their first feature-length adventure since 2008's A Matter of Loaf and Death. The film premiered on BBC One on Christmas Day 2024 at 6:10 PM.
==== Plot Summary ====
In Vengeance Most Fowl, Wallace's obsession with his inventions leads to the creation of a "smart gnome" named Norbot. However, things take a dark turn when Norbot develops a mind of its own, orchestrated by the returning villain, Feathers McGraw. Gromit, ever the loyal companion, must step in to save Wallace and prevent the sinister forces from taking over.
==== Characters ====
* Wallace (voiced by Ben Whitehead) is an inventor and cheese enthusiast whose dog Gromit is probably the brains of the pair. They live at 62 West Wallaby Street, Wigan, Lancashire, a house which is packed with strange machines. Their adventures are usually set in and around Wigan; the main exception is A Grand Day Out which visits the Moon. Wallace runs a succession of small businesses based on his inventions, most notably window cleaning (A Close Shave), pest control (The Curse of the Were-Rabbit), and a bakery (A Matter of Loaf and Death). He's absent-minded but has a kind heart, although he tends to take Gromit for granted most of the time; he falls in love several times in these films. At various times he has been framed for robbery, cursed, and targeted by a serial killer. He's an enthusiastic cheese eater, if not an addict, and his one attempt to stop eating it, for health reasons, goes disastrously wrong.
* Gromit is a dog who happens to be an expert handyman, knits, reads advanced textbooks and newspapers, and understands English perfectly though he never speaks. He is occasionally blamed for the actions of others, and has a general air of long-suffering patience. He also likes cheese.
* Feathers McGraw: Penguin and master criminal. (The Wrong Trousers, seen briefly in A Matter of Loaf and Death, Vengeance Most Fowl)
* Norbot (voiced by Reece Shearsmith): The "smart gnome" a new invention from Wallace turns evil.
* Chief Inspector Mackintosh (voiced by Peter Kay): Previously in The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005), now promoted to Chief Inspector.
* PC Mukherjee (voiced by Lauren Patel): A new character assisting in the investigation.

Vengeance is Mine (Starsky and Hutch zine)

Vengeance is Mine is a 346-page gen Starsky and Hutch novel by Emmie Busch.
It is an epic story in which the guys are more married than usual in a gen-like way. This story also includes an example of the Cartwright Curse.
It won three Torino Awards, the first in 2000.
Summary from the author in Black Bean Soup v.3 n.9: "The brutal murder of Hutch's fiancee draws the guys into what becomes a manhunt for a cunning serial killer. Meanwhile, Starsky's quest for the perfect investment property leads them to a neglected Victorian house and a new living arrangement. The peace and quiet of their new home is disrupted as Starsky is victimized by anti-Semitic propaganda from a neighbor, and finally violence, and the threat of an old secret from Hutch's past looms. Lots of h/c and emphasis on the strength and loyalty of S&H's remarkable friendship."
