Fandom Appreciation Challenge - Day 6

Mar 27, 2011 20:08

So, at first this seemed like an easy assignment -- send feedback to three stories written for challenges.  It turned out to be harder than I thought because I've already left feedback for quite a number of stories.  So I had to do some digging!  Don't you feel sorry for me?

First up is from our fandoms most active flashfic site, Sentinel Thursday.  This is from earlier this year.
Two Guys, Two Jokes Plus One Conference Equals Two Confessions by Franscat.  Slash

A common trope, Blair and Jim are sent to a police conference.  The twist is that it's April Fool's eve and Blair is known for playing jokes.  So, since he's only got one victim available, setting up the joke on Jim gets a little trickier.  Especially since Jim doesn't take kindly to jokes.

The next story is from the Give and Take challenge.  Each of the participants gives a prompt in the mix and then gets a prompt and writes a story about it.  Snycock, the moderator, just announced there will be a new round this year.  The story is an epilogue of sorts for The Rig.  In the ep, Jim confesses that he's got an irrational fear of open water.  Blair helps him to cope enough to function and capture the bad guys. In this story, Blair decides to try to uncover the root cause of Jim's phobia.  But first, he decides to soften Jim up with some nice vacation plans.
A Step in the Right Direction by Debbie.  Slash

The third story is from a challenge site that sadly is no longer active.  It's Sentinel Secrets and, as with many challenges, the authors remain anonymous until everything is posted.  Then everyone gets a chance to guess who wrote what.  Some really fine stories have come out of it and I'm hoping eventually it will be resurrected.  I'm posting the link at Sen Secrets so you can read the original post, but I've left fb at the Artifact Storage Room 3 archive, where she keeps her work.
Revisionist History by Maaaaa.  gen

The prompt was "party" and in this case we join Jim and Blair as a PD picnic breaks up.  Neither wanted to be there, but both get caught up in the simple pleasures of a relaxing fun day.  But things are never easy for our heroes. Winding down, they become contemplative and unresolved issues and guilts surface. 
Maaaaa rarely writes long stories, but she packs a lot of visuals with a few words.  Whether it's the outcome of the picnic wheelbarrow race or the list of sins each man confesses to, you can see and hear and feel them.

recommendations, fandom appreciation
