Reading Pros Fic Bingo Challenge - Bodie POV

[macklingirl.livejournal.com]

I think we have one or three open Bingo squares and while sorting my zines I decided to read Other Times and Places II because I wanted to read some shorter stories. The first story there is After the Fire by Cat Shannon.

It is a bittersweet written post-nuclear-war story written from Bodie's POV. The world we know is gone and only a few were able to survive. Bodie and Doyle and some of the others from CI5's finest are some of the "lucky" survivors. But are they really so lucky? Not all of them.

Bodie worries a lot because Doyle is more than shaken by all what had happened, but at the moment where it matters most, we can see that Doyle isn't broken.

Sadly the story isn't online and it isn't on Pros-Lib either. But if you should be able to get hold of the zine it really is worth reading it.

Oh, and I just discovered that byslantedlight reviewed it 13 years ago. BSL's-review

Well done, you! I thought everyone had forgotten and moved on! *g*

I do remember liking this story, and I know I've read it again since 2008, but I have an urge to re-read it now... *g* Wow - thirteen years ago!!

No, I hadn't forgotten, I only had to read a lot of stories to find one I wanted to use.

It's like I said a bittersweet story but I like it a lot. And I'm happy when I could urge you to re-read it.

It would be nice to comment on it but not having the chance to read it then unfortunately i can't.

I have it and could create a scan if you like. So you could have it on... let's say Friday. What do you mean, would you like a copy via mail?

[ali15son.livejournal.com]

No sorry that wasn't a hint to read it.....i was just saying that i couldn't comment on your post because i don't know the story.

[macklingirl.livejournal.com]

Ah, okay. But it really wouldn't be much work for me if you would like it. :-)

May I ride along, and get a scan, too?

That would be lovely thankyou for the offer but only when you are less busy.
