look at the pretties, all for me!
i shall end 2009 with pleasure. i am currently still in maine due to car trouble. this has led to some excessive free time. however, i must not have been using it wisely, as i have no recced to you the amazing fic i have received for yuletide!
i got an embarrassment of riches: four fics for me, me, me! (two full length and two treats)
the lovely fic from the author assigned to me:
How We Begin to Remember: (Graceland) This is a gorgeous gorgeous fic based on Graceland. Not just the song, but the whole album. This fic surprised me, not in a bad way. Now, I never would have thought of a child's POV, but it worked so well. Really amazing stuff. Plus the references to the other song... awesome.
The full length treat:
Synthesis Song Soul: (The Metropolis Chase Suite) OMG, this fic amazed me. It sounds punny to say, but this is the perfect sythesis of robotics and musicology. Its prose reads like poetry, and actually cites sources I want to look into now. Wonderful.
My TWO yuletide madness treats:
They're Gunning for Me: (The Metropolis Chase Suite) First Person Cindi Maywheather POV. The structure is cool and I love the way they empowered Cindi.
Staccato Signals of Constant Information: (Graceland) This is great fic based on "The Boy in the Bubble."
Now, if you look for gift fic for me, you might also find 612.8. In #yuletide we have been having 'story time' where someone tell another person a story in chat to cheer them up. When my car broke down, Snow wrote me this Adam Lambert/Metropolis Suite fic, with bonus zombie and puppy.
Now, I have also written a fic for storytime, which I just posted today. Skience vs. Science (Or the Fox who Ran for President). This is crack fic of the highest order, in which a skientist (as opposed to scientist), turns into a fox. I don't even know.
