A Little Update on Little Ficlets...

[sallymn]

For picowrimo, I've been writing fannish ficlets this month from the the 3 Sentence Ficathon 2024 list: as I put them up on Ao3, I'll note the links here. There's quite a range, sometimes only 1 for a fandom, and some (like The Untamed and The Sentinel) a few more :) I'm sure it has been good for me, I must keep writing ficlets, whether fannish or original

The one for Merlin made me laugh.

Thank you! Their dialogue is fun.

BTW--what is The Chalet School based on? I've come a complete blank where it's concerned.

I'm not surprised :) They were a set of school novel by Elinor Brent-Dyer from the 1920s-1950s (I am very much a fan of the hoary old schoolgirl story genre) which have been in and out of print and still have fans. There's information on wikipedia here.

The old school stories (though more the boys' ones) had quite the influence on the Harry Potter books, girls' books had the boarding school etc but a different flavour. I collect several of the authors and have found quite a few on fadedpages.com. I freely admit that my ficlets tend more to the OTT ridiculous side, but hey... they are ficlets.
