Why this must be read:

Plan 9 is a very funny, very sweet parody that works equally well read straight (as it were). It's an AU in which the crew, having abandoned the Liberator during battle, are captured by an Andromedan spaceship whose crew are suspicious about the propaganda used to encourage them to fight. They want a sample of humans to take home to testify - but since the trip is going to take several human lifetimes, the crew are expected to provide the next generation. What with one thing and another, this leads to some very hot sex between Avon and Blake. It's all the hotter because the story focuses on both the physical and emotional aspects.

Great smut, an entertaining story, and a worryingly plausible explanation as to why the Andromedans invaded. Plus some very nice characterisation, including a very likable version of Tarrant being bullied unmercifully by Orac...

It's a long one, at 59 pages in its original zine publication in Fire & Ice 4, but well worth it. It's now available online in the Hermit Library.
