3. ELEMENT OF DANGER by Vaxen

4. ELEMENT OF REALITY by Vaxen
   The fourth entry in Vaxen's ELEMENTS SERIES revisits the alternate universe the original series and others since then have depicted where Star Trek regulars have exact doubles with VERY different personalities. This time around Voyager goes on the alert when the Janeway from that alternate universe kidnaps their Captain intent on finding a way for her own crew to get home. What the Captain finds is a Voyager ruled by fear, intrigue and brute strength where her friends have turned into enemies and one Annika Hansen is little more than a servant. Fascinating premise in an emotional storyline. DO NOT MISS! - 7 pgs., 1/24/00

6. **ELEMENT OF INNOCENCE by Vaxen
   The sixth entry in the ELEMENTS SERIES has Janeway, Seven and the Voyager crew doing double duty as baby sitters - a task made a taaaad more complicated because the bundle of joy in question happens to be a teenage Q. Vaxen delivers a delightful little story here with charming characterizations and some scenes guaranteed to leave you with one big grin. Very cute. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! - 10 pgs., 1/24/00

**FEAR AND HOPE by G.L. Dartt
G.L. takes a break from her JUST BETWEEN SERIES to write a delightfully entertaining first time story set just after the episode HOPE AND FEAR (review and synopsis of the episode by a Trekkie named Jim Wright available at http://www.treknews.com/ deltablues/hopeandfear.html) which finds the captain of Voyager offering to assist Seven in her efforts to understand humanity, and getting MUCH more than she bargained for when the young Borg loses her heart for the first time to...some member of the crew ;-) G.L.'s uncanny ability to capture the characterizations we see in the TV series, seamlessly integrating them into somewhat different situations is once again evident in this story which gives us a very vulnerable portrayal of Seven of Nine in a story with just the right mixture of drama, humor and passion. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - 25 pgs., 11/28/98

**FOUR-PIPS CLUB (THE) by Tenderware
Fanfic fans will sense something DISTINCTLY familiar in this delightful new offering from Tenderware which has the Captain discovering a secret ring of...writers among her crew - all apparently writing elicit stories about her. Unnerved to no end by the discovery, Janeway investigates further only to soon find herself intrigued by the stories and even moved by them - particularly one series of tales penned by a mysterious "AH" who shows a poignant vulnerability and insecurity despite seemingly knowing her commanding officer quite well. Funny and sweet - this is a romantic fantasy come to life. DO NOT MISS! - 19 pgs., 8/18/01
