Pros Reading Room returns - story suggestions required, please!

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Okay - not much response to the last poll about how to choose stories, so I presume most people don't mind how. 4/6 votes were for stories to be suggested by people and added to a list, so - let's do that.

Maybe this is a nice weekend job - what stories would you like to see discussed in The Reading Room? Please make suggestions in comments (title, author, link to story would be helpful), and I'll start compiling a list for us to work through!

If you'd like to volunteer to host the story discussion, then please let me know that too - it's just a case of making a post on a Friday, with the name and author of the story and maybe a little bit of blurb/some thoughts about it, or else simply saying "what did you think?" and then replying to comments/discussing it with everyone. *g* (But I'm happy to make the posts too, so feel free to offer stories without volunteering!)

If you'd like to see other Reading Rooms that we've done to get an idea/reminder of how it all goes, here's the tag list for Reading Room! Scroll down, and happy reading... *g*

I mentioned it before, but it's worth mentioning again, anything my Ellis Ward. The Return may not be long enough, but Legacy of Temptation or Harlequin Airs would do nicely. :-)

I would think The Return is reasonable.Is there a length requirement? Sorry if I missed something here!

[gilda-elise.livejournal.com]

I don't think there's a length requirement. I just assumed that people would want something longer. If not, I'm all for The Return!

[firlefanzine.livejournal.com]

I'm happy about not tooo long stories during the Big Bang reading!

Yes, I'm for The Return as well. :-)

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Nope, definitely no length requirement! We could do a drabble if we were all short on time one week... *vbg*

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

No, I don't think The Return is too short at all - in fact it's probably a good length for first Reading Room in a while. So it's first on the list now - thanks! *g*

[firlefanzine.livejournal.com]

How about A Widening Gyre by Rebelcat? (http://www.thecircuitarchive.com/tca/archive/19/awidening.html)

And I would also try to host the story - though I'm really out of practice! :-/

[macklingirl.livejournal.com]

I would say that's a good idea. It's a long time that I've read this story and it would be nice to have a re-read.

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Excellent - it's second on the list, thank you!

[paris7am.livejournal.com]

I didn't see it in previous tags - how about Transport Cafe by Fajrdrako? I would host it, happily.

(can't remember the html link markup, sorry!)

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Brilliant - it's third on the list, thank you!

(and I'm working on that list of stories we've already discussed for Reading Room!)

[cim3745.livejournal.com]

Hurray, thanks to all of you. I am looking forward to  :-)

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

You're very welcome!

Howzabout Endgame (http://www.thecircuitarchive.com/tca/archive/16/endgame.html)? Though I can't host it right now.

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Okay - on the list! Thanks! *g*

[sagittas.livejournal.com]

How does Verlaine's Uriah (https://discoveredinalj.livejournal.com/266523.html) sound for a very short one?

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Sounds just fine! *g* All added - thank you!

[akin16sk.livejournal.com]

Is there any limit for words, what is considered reasonable? I do not know the stories, are they evenly spread out? Maybe Cowley or Murphy or the other lads can get some special loving?

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

I'm so sorry Akin, I completely missed your comment!

Basically, any story that someone wants to rec is fine with me. I guess we need to bear in mind that people have five days to read it, and that alot of us work full-time, but other than that - the world is our lobster! *g*
