Wow, for once I haven't read any of the stories on the list. I think for the most part I'm still hangin in pre-DH and the "let's just ignore it" for the most part world. I've become really picky when it comes to my characterization I think. And I guess for me there's this weird fear of starting a new story. I tend to go back to the classics for the satisfaction. I was thinking about rereading The Buried Life maybe...

This is a tad random, but do you have like your top favorite classics in ss/hg? I'm suddenly curious...

Of the novels on this post, I'd really recommend trying at least Blameless Vestal, although that wouldn't be the story of Mundungus I'd recommend as an introduction to her or that I love the most, those would be To Make Much of Time or Trail of the Black Star or Down the Ferret hole.

It would be a long list. But FFI, Soul Searching, and Fire and the Rose at the top of my head would head the list.

Oh yes, now I remember you telling me some of your favorite stories.

Indeed there are stories to try...

I think what always makes me happy is that I can always go back to the stories I love. It sounds rather simple, but it isn't. Bambu once told me how some stories are like foods you wouldn't try again, others are like good meals, and others are like banquets. It adds a nice perspective when you read I think.

Mists of Time by Amr I really want to read. But I'm holding off until it's finished. I'm also happy that Pet Project is being updated.

I saw the Pet Project update and squeed. But I'm staying strong and won't go look till she's finished. She updates so infrequently (Pot, meet Kettle--I know) that it's just too frustrating and I forget too much--I rather read it entire from the beginning afresh when she finished.

"laughs" I can understand waiting. I know though, it's amazing how well she's doing with the updates (knock on wood). I'm always rereading her story because I just know it's going to end well...and well, I just like going back to it again and again.

I was browsing one of your lists and I just remembered how much I wanted to reread A Matter of Honor! So thanks for reminding me.

Damn, The Buried Life first or A Matter of Honor? Hmmm...maybe The Buried Life since it was a bit more angsty. I can end with Honor since I know that H/S are together before the end.

I just hope she never mysteriously deletes the story from her site. And

I just hope I stop rambling!
