santa_smex round-up #3!

[prillalar]

Previous round-ups: here and here. Up to Dec 24 with this one.

My reading:

Seven Forty in the Afternoon - InuKai - Crack, crack, sweet InuKai, and crack. Also Horio. ♥

Rematch - Fujicest - Fucked-up and amazing, it hurts like incest fic should.

Two Places at Once - Inui/Yanagi - Freaky Friday, Data Pair style, and oh how sweet it is!

Gentlemen

Ah, you just reminded me of the Fujicest! I liked that one very much and forgot to pimp it the other day. Well, I think I'll do a final round-up myself as soon as the fest is over. There are pieces like the first one (the AtoRyo), the Fujicest, and a few more that I think deserve more attention too.

It must be hard to do the pimping when you are part of the fest yourself but can't *really* advertise your own story (-ies) just yet. :D Ah, well, January is around the corner.

This year's fest is providing much better stuff than I expected!

First item: I love that icon so much.

I look forward to your round-up! It's always interesting to see which stories strike different people. I almost forgot to read the Fujicest until I was scrolling through to get the links yesterday. I don't often read brother/brother in any fandom, mostly because it never seems fucked-up enough for me. But this one hit the spot nicely. :)

Hee! So true. Mostly, I'm just hoping to drive more people to the fest overall. I wish people weren't so reluctant to comment on anonymous stories; I've seen a few instances where people made a comment in someone else's LJ about a story they enjoyed but didn't comment on the story itself.

Yeah, there have been more pairings recently that I've wanted to read than in the beginning. Lots of InuKai!

That’s one priceless bit that the anime provided (in exchange for the manga scene where Sanada takes care of Ryoma’s limp body after his duel with Kirihara). I think the AkuTaka fans won with the plot change. :D

I do sort of get why people don't comment as much on anon fic, though I also wish I understood it more. (And I mean that sincerely -- I'm always interested in why people do what they do.) I wonder if it's something to do with the community aspect of fanfiction. It's one way that we connect with people on a personal level in fandom. And so without that knowledge of the author, there isn't that same communication, that same relationship building
