FK Recommendation June 2010
What's Good? As we head into summer, I recommend 
james's "In the Beginning, James Created..." (1995, rated R), the first complete-AU fanfiction I ever read. This story makes Natalie the vampire cop, and shuffles all the other characters by matching rarely-observed affinities. But while different characters fill the roles, the relationships stay with the roles. I see a serious interpretive argument underneath the funhouse ride of this AU; I enjoy that.
I don't want to spoil the story's biggest mind-bender, but I'll hazard that no one but
james could have imagined it for us. It's weird. And it's worth a thought.
What's New on FKFic-L? The fiction email list did not see a single new story in May. But nine have dropped in June to date! So there will be a list here next month.
