notes, notes, notes
Oh my god! I got moved to the General and Adult Fiction Links at Anne's! hehe. I wonder if I should be pleased or dismayed. Nevertheless, an interesting development. *g*
Greetings, Cathy! Thanks for the email recap. It was also very nice meeting you in Burbank... did I give you a 'sonuvabitch!'? To me, mesascaper will always mean Ben's Birthday Bash. Thanks for that. The Burbank Con Fic Challenge went really well, it was intensely satisfying to watch all those writers in one place exercising their craft. The BBQ was in frelling heaven. We're dangerously close to transcribing the handful of stories and getting them posted. I look forward to sharing them with everyone, and once again thank all the authors who participated. I can't imagine what it must be like to hear, "take this tiny bit of information and write me something on it." But they all took it like troopers. It's an experience I'll always treasure.
Can't remember if I told the frog story, but I'm pretty sure I haven't told the 'we're the band' story. Orchid's now 3 hours later than the BBQ, almost her bedtime by the time the BBQ gets home. Time Zones Suck.
FARSCAPE:
And, whoa, yeah, really short snippet for a 'Future Tense Challenge' (where's that posted?) by Anna, and I gotta agree, future tense won't stand up to much narrative without the BBQ havin' an embolism.
BetanSurvey is allowing the BBQ to archive Golden Apples at Farscape Ally, so... rather than try and compile a haymow of links, you'll be able to read it soon, right here. One link. Yay me. And we're waiting... briefly for Atana to archive Waltz In Caanan at Leviathan before we track down all the links to the story (hint hint) *g*
SMALLVILLE:
If you hang around for long enough, you'll notice I have a habit of rec'ing the same fics over and over. This time it's jenn's turn (Smallville jenn). Okay, I may be a sap but I love this story.
There's magic in Sleep While I Drive. The pace of the writing sinks into the body and carries you along. The story has a frelling temperature; warm and somnolent; hot and frentic; cooly romantic; love expressed crisp and clear. This is one to read and read and read, and then read some more. There's nothing I've ever read that has woven such an elegant thematic tapestry. And bonus, the thing has the best opening line ever. The syllables hypnotic. Although, I'd consider challengers for that. Ideas?
This one demonstrates the allure of Lex pretty damn straight forwardly (if that's a word), right down to the tiny plot detail that 'Lex must sleep with any red headed female in his immediate vicinity' in accordance with The Smallville Bibletm.
And speaking of jenn, brand new a sort of coda to 'A Handful of Dust', she gives us Calm in the House. You'll have a sense that you're missing 'something' if you read this before reading AHoD, but it's not really necessary as the author classifies the story as 'cuddle fic'. Both stories are NC17/Slash.
