Time to rec fic
Oct. 8th, 2003 11:49 amSome fics I have enjoyed reading recently:
beccaming, Kinderreim
Gorgeously beautiful. Shifts of style that make beautiful flowing sense. On growing up, nostalgia for times gone forever, the difficulties of engaging. Dom/Orli.
L.M. Griffin aka
norringtonsez, Men of Our Words
Glorious Commodore Norrington/Jack Sparrow fic. Heaps of spelling errors but great dialogue and, for me, an example of slash at its purest. Wonderful instance of how fps can weave in and out of canon and how to make two completely convincing canon-characters get to a slashy point without losing credibility. Delicious!
Updated, betaed version here.
sheldrake, Blood
How to take a vampire and put him in a bookstore and make the whole thing not only believable but also pastichy and po-mo andpathetically sad all at the same time. AU at its finest. Dom/Elijah/origchars. (And I swear this bookshop is in Ipswich.)
sheldrake, Artifical Fiction
A default-icon ficlet. Origfic that kept me rivetted and laughing so hard I choked on my celeriac. Strangely sueish as well.
cupiscent, The Answer
Intelligent celebration on Mary Sue -- and when have you ever read a celebration of Mary Sue? What's more, it's Slashy Sue as well, so doubly yummy but also awful, just like the best Mary Sue. Dom/Orli/Keira. Het'n'mix.
natasha1805, A Lonely Impulse of Delight, Part 8
Ah, if you have not cottoned onto this wonderful Memphis Belle WIP yet, this is the time. I just sigh with the first-time, innocent loveliness of it all. Slow and real and something to look forward to.
