Happy Fics Roundup II

Aug 19, 2011 16:21

So, when I'm feeling particularly down, I like to ask for prompts for no-pressure fic. It's a fun exercise, and I enjoy writing for prompts, so it all works out in the end. The first time, I organized my fics and edited them slightly before posting them here. I finally organized and named my fics from my second prompt call, and cross-posted them to ( Read more... )

fanfic, outisders, torchwood, fanfiction, harry potter

lovely... thanks for the story, it's lovely

and then I got sucked in by the Outsiders story... it was the first book I ever read in English through school...you captured it beautifully

You're welcome! Thank you for the prompt. :)

I had short but intense summer of Outsiders fandom, and I still love the book. I read it the first time through school as well! (Small world, huh?) I'm glad you like the fic!

I think Outsiders was in the German curriculum (20 odd years ago for me... heck, when did I grow old) ... and JB says he likes it (refers to it in one of his autobiographies), which led me to re-buying it - though I've not re-read it yet

It's an interesting choice for a curriculum. The language isn't hard, but greasers in 1960's Oklahoma is hardly a typical American community.

John Barrowman likes it? Cool. I've always loved it for the way the boys form a family together, as dysfunctional as it is. Plus, the sharp realism of a world that is recognizable yet so different from my own.

Oh, man. I know I have my copy around here somewhere...

yeah, I guess it was the language... can't remember any other books in english, but we examined 'She's leaving home' by the Beatles and 'In the Ghetto' by Elvis... We read Dune in German - eclectic :D

Ha, yeah that is eclectic. But cool! And your English is fantastic, so I guess it worked. :D (I wish we had read Dune for class. That would have been pretty great.)

19 years here helps with the language *grins* - I've now got the challenge to get confident in German again for my new job
