The Reading Room

[constant-muse.livejournal.com]

Hello again, back on schedule this week thanks to school term and being able to just get on with things.

Thank you very much to byslantedlight  for reccing "Voice-over" by Elizabeth O'Shea. For once consensus broke out all around, and we didn't give you much to do.  Maybe next time. *eg*

The fic for this week is "Fly on the Wall" by Lezlie Conch (recced by sc_fossil), at

http://www.thecircuitarchive.com/tca/archive/5/flyon.html.  Have fun!

Below is the list of fics scheduled for the next few weeks, but eep!, there is a blank for next week.  Any volunteers with a short-ish fic to recc?

I would like to see a present-tense fic up for discussion. (I know "Voice-Over" is present tense, but it is also first person, and large chunks are in the past tense, so the present tense isn't its principal stylistic quality.) I'd be happy to recc one if someone points me at it.

I'd just like to warn those that haven't read it before that Harlequin Airs is another long one.

Oh, and if you want a quick visual of Doyle in this fic (he's undercover) check out jaicen5's fanvid of Ladder of Swords (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdS65XvyQEQ) on YouTube.
