Day 32 again - With Kind Permission of the Author...

Jan 01, 2009 23:17

One more Elizabeth Holden treat for today - because we should start as we mean to go on, right? With lots of lovely Prosfic to read...

Transport Cafe by Elizabeth Holden

Sweet dreams... *g*

I took a short look and it seems to be exactly my cup of tea!
There is a lot I have to print when I'm back at work next week. (I don't like 'screen reading'!)

Thank you both!

"Sweat dreams" ? :-)

It's nice to have a store of Prosfic ready to read in dull old January, I think! I know what you mean about reading from the screen too - I'm not keen on it either, and I'm sure I read stories differently on screen too. One of my New Year's decisions (sort of!) is to spend more money on ink cartridges for my printer, and actually print off fic to read it - so, so much nicer!

And hee - they may well be sweaty dreams after reading Elizabeth Holden fic... *vbg*

Fortunately we have the opportunity to (laser)print some private stuff at work - double sided and with a nice binder. So I kind of make my own zines! :-)
And it's much nicer to read on the sofa, good music, outside it's snowing, one hand cuddling a cat, the other holding the book or a glass of Calvados wine... ;-)

This story is new to me as were a couple of the others so I'm very pleased you've posted them. Thanks a lot!

I'm so pleased that I was able to!

Brilliant, you've truly spoilt us posting all these fabulous Elizabeth Holden stories... thank you so much, and thanks to fajrdrako too!

Hee - I am glad you liked them, it's so fab to see them online at last, and I'm hoping we'll see more of her fic up at her own webpage soon!

'we should start as we mean to go on, right?' I'll second that.

Also printing this for future consumption, thank you. I used to get so bored waiting while my sons have their piano lesson on Monday evenings, but now I have the perfect way of passing the time, although I'd rather be doing it firlefanzine's way.

Well, maybe I exaggerated a bit... It's nor ALWAYS snowing! :-)

byslantedlight January 5 2009, 09:49:44 UTC

Sounds like the perfect way to read fic to me! Although tucking the lads into other moments of the day is pretty good too... *g*

That was perfect for a cold Monday night (no snow here to delay the start of term, sadly, but our little river is trying hard to freeze over).

The narrative being disjointed was clever, and then the disjointedness carried on in the last scene, where important and profound declarations, thoughts and decisions keep being interrupted by noisy truck drivers! Plus I've thought for a while that a transport caff is a very Bodie and Doyle environment. Hopefully they'll find themselves having a hearty breakfast in a good one sometime.

Heee! I always think of Bodie meeting thingie in the motorway services in Fall Girl when I think of them and transport cafs! Not quite the same thing though... *g* It's a fab story, isn't it!
