I had some nice responses to my request for experimental fic (though I could do with more! Please!) And the one I've liked best so far is this one, reccec by Cathexys:

Walking Shadow by [livejournal.com profile] pogrebin.

This is phenomenally impressive. I haven't been this compelled by a story without sex for... a long time! I really liked the chronological shuffle-structure, the flashbacks and flashforwards, and I absolutely loved the sideways jumps to Cinderella. The prose is glorious: not a word wrong.

It had me spellbound. And what I especially loved was that she managed to marry experimental luscious prose with a hard core of very-well-thought-through plot. It all makes sense and, at some point, it all came together for me -- disjointed on the page, together in
my head (I loved that).
