Way back when, I was an UNCLE fan. I got caught when TNT started playing all the eps in the late eighties, and bought a few zines. "City of Byzantium" by Eros knocked my socks off, and I really wanted to write some UNCLE. I had met a few people, and they wanted to publish some zines, and so I wrote a few incredibly short, just-long-enough-to-get-a-comp-copy stories that were published in a zine called "Exposures", under my 'Alys' pen name. The zines are bad -- they had no editing -- but there was usually a story by Eros in them, and that made it all worth while to me.
(Besides, at the time I had just started writing and really didn't have a clue what I was doing. My skill level was just about average for what else was published there.)
And all of that is to warn you about this. I tried to leave it much as it was, but I did fix the epithet thing, and I did muck with the POV. Still, the concept is tried and true. Everyone needs a virgin sacrifices at dawn sort of story.
