Changes (Sentinel zine)

changes is a 202-page slash Sentinel novel by Jean Kluge, written as a "sequel", a fix-it or responsefic, to Myrna's story "Ever After." Both "Ever After" and "changes" fit into the category of disability fic.
It is a controversial zine for both its subject matter, and for past discussion regarding fandom and profit. See Controversy: "Changes" and the Profit Discussion.
"changes" begins after "Ever After" ends, and slowly unspools the story of Blair's eventual recovery, making substantial use of the fanonical Sentinel/Guide connection.
==A Change in Publishers in 2001==
==Available as a Download==
The zine was made available as a download in 2009 for $20 and also October 2012 by Jean Kluge for a cost of $7.50. "Please note that the cost of the e-zine download helps to pay for the web hosting costs for this website which allow me to make the e-zine available."
==Controversy: "Changes" and the Profit Discussion==
When a 2009 email from Bast (the zine agent authorized to sell Changes) advertising its availability as a PDF file ($20.00 download or $24.00 CD mailed anywhere in the world—the higher price includes agenting fees) was forwarded to the TSstoryfinders Yahoo!Group in February 2009, a discussion both on-list and off regarding the question of selling fanfiction for profit was prompted.

==Summary of changes==
==Author's Notes: Contains a Long Summary of "Ever After"==
From the print zine: 
==changes is a Response Fic to "Ever After"==
In "Ever After" by Myrna, Blair is incapacitated in the line of duty. The story is slash, positing a relationship between Jim and Blair which necessarily shifts from romance to caretaking after Blair becomes incapable of adult decision-making. "Ever After" was originally published in Come To Your Senses #8, and then posted at the 852 Prospect archive once the zine had "timed out." "Ever After" was controversial within the fandom at the time.
Kluge set out to ameliorate the sadness she felt at the end of "Ever After."
==Other Response Fics==
One fan wrote a story as a reaction to the Professionals story with the same theme (Gentle on My Mind) and included Jim and Blair in similar circumstances. A Magical Christmas by istia is: "a crossover with The Sentinel and a mild parody of the Gentle On My Mind series of zine novels about a brain-damaged, childlike Doyle and his (squicky!) relationship with his guardian, Bodie... I wrote this story in a frantic, incredibly fun two-day rush as a birthday present for a friend. I was later told there's an actual story about a brain-damaged Blair, but I've never seen it; I was never in the fandom, just watched most of the episodes. I threw in Jim and Blair just to double the fun and because my friend enjoyed them at that time."
