Christmas Prosfic Calendar - 2nd December

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

The Pros-y Christmas fic I read today was Screwged or Nanny's Christmas Carol by M.Fae Glasgow, in the zine:. The zine was published by Oblique Publications way back in February 1992, but you can find the story at the Oblique website (enter and find it via the fandom lists - I thought you might like to take a look around too, cos it's a bit like Santa's Grotto if you've not been before... *g*), the Circuit Archive and via the original Hatstand.

The story is, of course, based on Dicken's Christmas Carol, and it's Doyle who's visited by three ghosts, as he's Christmas-ing - or rather, determinedly not Christmas-ing - alone on leave.

( The ghosts are... )

I completely forgot to post the calendar yesterday - and if anyone would like to play, and would like to jump in and offer a date (or just jump in without saying, and I'll add you to the calendar when you come up! *g*) then that'd be fab. I also have a list of all the fics that have been reviewed for the Christmas Reading Room, put together by milomaus, and I'm trying to work out the best way to format it so that you can see what's been reviewed/recced when - cos as a few people have said, we all love the old favourites, but it'd be nice to see some less well-known Pros Christmas stories too...

Christmas Prosfic Calendar - 3rd December

[nypagan.livejournal.com]

Here is my random rec of a Pros Christmas story . I failed to beat byslantedlight to the mark, despite her moving and writing and unpacking and sorting. I can't recall reading this before today, even though it has a Christmas title. So, contrary to what I told byslantedlight, there are new Christmas stories to discover!

Today's choice is:




Of Christmas Present by rebelcat. Doyle is in a foul mood and it is all Bodie's fault! What else is new?

Enjoy!

Christmas Prosfic Calendar - 3rd December

The Pros Christmas story that I read today was from Holiday Shrieks, published by Whatever You Do, Don't Press! in 1993, and it was Marley, by Jane Mailander. And there I was expecting it to be in either at the Circuit or Hatstand, where JM's other Pros writing is archived, and it isn't at all! Luckily it is available here on A03 - oh! And I see that there's also a prequel to it: Wave Goodbye Already!, which I am totally going to have to read now, because I really quite enjoyed Marley. It is, of course, and coincidentally, cos it just happened to be the other zine I'd pulled out expecting Christmas stories (but this was the only one!) liked yesterday's story also based on A Christmas Carol. Well, sort of. Marley's in it. *g*

Jane Mailander has written other Pros stories that I like alot (if you don't know her, look her up!) - and she's on A03 as Gardnerhill. Marley didn't disappoint me, except that it's gen rather than slash, so I had to insert my own (*g*). The lads are very fond of each other though, so that worked. And even though it's not quite the traditional Christmas Carol story in the way that M. Fae Glasgow's Screwged was, that really just made it more interesting. Definitely worth reading!
