I'd planned to make this post a week ago yesterday, so many apologies that it's so late - work ran straight into a wee weekend holiday without giving me time to post, and when I came back poor old lj was under attack. I'm posting now in the hope that we'll stay up (though I had a few scary "bad gateway" pages a few minutes ago, so cross fingers...) Anyway...
Thanks everyone who replied to the poll and/or made suggestions the other week. Our next theme, by popular vote, will indeed be The Lads on Holiday! And we should probably define "the lads on holiday" as stories where the lads purposely go away from the job on holiday. They might stay in London, but they should be on holiday!
I don't yet have a list of Lads on Holiday stories over at Palelyloitering, though I could have sworn we made one once (or maybe that was just PhotoShoot Snap! *g*), so...
1 - What are your favourite Lads on Holiday fics, and we'll start a list now?
2 - and most importantly - would anyone like to volunteer to rec/review a Lads on Holiday story, please? Dates as below, to start with...
