Jabberwocky

You may be looking for the 7th Sector novel with the subtitle "Jabberwocky."
Jabberwocky is a series of alternate universe Blake's 7 stories, all set in the same universe and written by Sheila Paulson. The story is an alternate series 4, although it shares some traits with Post Gauda Prime stories.
The stories are mostly gen (with Avon/Cally as a strong component), but there are also a few adult het and slash ones (written under the name "Paula") as well, for the pairings Blake/Jenna, Blake/Soolin, Tarrant/Vila and Blake/Avon. It is not necessary to read the adult stories to understand the gen stories. 
==In Print Zines and Then Online==
Stories in this universe were printed in specific Jabberwocky zines, as well as in a number of other mixed zines. 
 
All Jabberwocky stories (including the adult stories by Paula) have been made available online at Hermit.org. Rather pleasingly, the first Jabberwocky story seems to have been the first B7 story loaded onto the archive, while the last Jabberwocky story is the last.Stories Sorted by Index Number (Approximately Date of Addition to Library) on Hermit.org
==1986 Author's Note==
The first story, "Link-up," was printed in 7th Sector #3 in 1986. In that zine, Paulson wrote:

==The Stories and Where They Were Originally Published==
The Jabberwocky stories were originally published in parts, which generally appeared alongside other unrelated stories in anthology zines, such as Gambit. There are the following exceptions: the first story Link-up was originally published on its own as Seventh Sector 3, the second and third stories (Mind-Rape and Healer) were originally published together in a standalone zine by Janet Walker. The 14th story (Malodaar) was also originally published as a standalone zine by Janet Walker.
The first thirteen gen stories up to Malodaar were published in Jabberwocky Collected.

===Jabberwocky Collected===
In 1993, Janet Walker published a collected edition (Jabberwocky Collected) of all the Jabberwocky stories (with some new material?) up to but not including Malodaar. It also introduced two new-at-the-time stories, "Lifeblood" and "Revenant." 
This edition was apparently very rare, even at the time.
See Jabberwocky Collected.
===Malodaar===
Malodaar contains one story (Jabberwocky part 14). It was published in 1995 by Janet Walker. It is the first edition of this story and was published as a companion to Jabberwocky Collected.

==Judith Proctor Re-Prints== 
In 1996, Judith Proctor reprinted all the Jabberwocky stories in 5 zines, having been given permission by Paulson to produce a British edition of the saga. Proctor comments: "I produced the stories in several volumes to try and enable people to reduce overlap with their existing zines. For instance, if you have all issues of Gambit, then you won't need volume 3 of my collected edition."Jabberwocky, by Sheila Paulson and where to find it
