Discovered in a Christmas Stocking - 4th January

Hello, made it to my day after all, with fic... and a challenge! My prompt was Shoot football magazine - it's in there somewhere. Enjoy!

What a fun story! I giggled whilst the lads scribbled. And I laughed that the Queen got the dodgy card. Thanks for the entertaining read.

Glad it gave you a giggle! I had fun writing it. *g*

cards

Just goes to show xmas cards are a security issue! Thanks for the treat and the giggles (don't think I can pick the silhouettes, though!)

Re: cards

Glad you liked it. I think the silhouettes came out more tricky than I'd intended!

You do such a brilliant job with the light-heartedness. And since this is my first day back at work...well, I really needed this! I love this glimpse of the lads at play (and work), happy. It's lovely. So many of the lines here are wonderful, but as examples...

While you were revisiting your artistic side
Heh. Or...

“He’ll think Bodie and Doyle, at his whisky.”

Thank you so much! And then there's the puzzle! I have some guesses, but I look forward to seeing what others say!

Thank you! I am so pleased you liked it. I do think of you when writing fic and hope that it will end up being a story you like. *g*

Thanks for picking out a few sentences too. It is always fun to see what someone chooses. I think the puzzle may have been a bit too puzzle-y!

Germ Cowley Heee! I love your offhand details like the infamous Tulliver's New Year party :D And I glee'd over Bodie's suggestion of a message for Willis. Yikes, as for the sillhouettes, I need more clues. Like, loads more clues *g*

I could have rocked a lot further with Germ Cowley and his friends, ran out of time, sadly! Very happy you liked it. I always love offhand details in a fic, so I am glad that bit worked for you. As for the sillhouettes, I think they ended up a bit too sillhouette-y... *g*

You know I adored this, but I'm going to say so again anyway - I love happy lads, and there was something almost Lartonesque about them at times, just... so right together and... oh, so happy with it. It's happy fic!

As for the silhouttes... I get to play this time, yeay! *g*

Right... I'm at work and looking anyway, so this is just a first guess, okay? *g* I'm thinking 10 = Ruth in Hunter/Hunted, 4 = Julie in... erm... Fall Girl, of course! 5 might be Jax, cos of the hat he's wearing? Didn't he have a hat like that in Klansmen? I can't think of anyone else who did except Billy, and he wasn't an agent! Erm... 6 = Susan? Oh, 12 is Benny in the car in Stakeout! Maybe? Perhaps... I'm probably not very good at this, you know... Looking forward to seeing what anyone else thinks, though! Cos we can discuss, right? *vbg*

Also, this is all so good for the first day back at miserable work - thank you for happy-lads and take-your-mind-off-it-quizzes!

Ooo Larton-esque, what a lovely compliment, thank you! And cheers to you for having a go at the puzzle - I was so impressed you got Julia! And Benny. And Ruth, and Susan... *g*

Although I felt awfully guilty about misleading you with Phillips and his 'hat' hair!
