Allow me to share my most recent gifts!

Unfortunately I missed the signup for Trick or Treat and so did not participate.

For Darkest Night 2017, I got a delightful Wait Till Helen Comes fic: Say, Say, My Playmate Come Out and Play with Me - think of it as something of a prequel to the book.  It fits delightfully, and ends on a perfect note.

 I found this link while I was working on my The Hundred and One Dalmatians - Dodie Smith story, and didn't want to share it at the times as it might have tipped people off.

It's called Black and White and mashes up Dalmatians with ... Anita Blake.  The author is not an LKH fan, but it channels early Anita pretty well.

 Now that authors have been revealed, I can claim my works for My Old Fandom 2016.

My original assignment resulted in Diplomatic Functions, a ST: TOS story where Kirk thinks he's going to have a quiet evening...

I also completed 2 pinch hits for this exchange.  The first was A Visit to Rosings Park, an "after-canon" work for Pride and Prejudice ( Read more... )

 A few recs from the Final ShipSwap collection!

1. Let The Water Wash You Clean (MCU, Steve Rogers/Natasha Romanov) - This one is really good.  A little introspection, because showers are good for that.  The voices of the two characters are SPOT on, and there's even a "Language" moment.

“You know what defines you ( Read more... )

1. Sweet and Wicked Ways (Venetia - Heyer) - Venetia gets her orgy.  For mature audiences only.

2. Rose-Leaves (Venetia - Heyer) - Venetia and Damerel's wedding night.  Also for mature audiences.  Verry nice.

3. Accio Insurance (Insurance Commercials) - Insurance commercials meet Hogwarts.  It's hysterically crack-fic.

4. The Broken Hearts Case5 ( Read more... )

Finally getting around to reading all the stories in the Fandom Stocking collection.

My gift: Aches and Braggs - Baby-Sitters' Club, Sam/Stacey fluff.

My recs:

1.  A Matter of Persuasion - Carmen Sandiego runs into Captain America in a HYDRA dungeon.

Hydra is, on the whole of it, arrogant and messy. They leave their toys lying all over the place ( Read more... )

I forgot to post about my Rare Pair Fest gift, Snapshots of Second Love, a Baby-Sitters Club one about Elizabeth and Watson.  Cute and funny, and not too sweet.

He might not look like the romantic hero of anyone’s dreams, but he kisses like one.The Fic Corner stories are up and unrevealed, so here were a few of the ones I really enjoyed ( Read more... )

My Yuletide story: Not The Only Sleuth (Nancy Drew - Carolyn Keene) - Helen Corning solves a mystery involving Nancy.  If you're a fan of the Mystery at Lilac Inn, you should definitely read this.

A Yuletide treat: Confidential Secretary (Perry Mason books), focused on Della Street.

More recs to follow.

Day 19 - Favorite book turned into a movie
2010 Answer: Pride and Prejudice by BBC (1980 and 1995)Books into movies are always a delicate issue.  The reason the P&Ps are both so good is that they went the miniseries route and did six hour long works, which let them really capture the books.  They don't cut a lot of stuff out, or add a lot of stuff ( Read more... )
