Hello! This weekend's story is Of Tethered Goats and Tigers by Tarot (different author name if you have an older paper copy), suggested by [livejournal.com profile] hagsrus and available to read at Circuit Archive, Hatstand, ProsLib and as the Of Tethered Goats and Tigers zine, Blue Jay Press, 1984.

And I'm going to start off straight away by saying that this story is in my permanent-reads-to-go-back-to-again-and-again, so you might say that I rather like it. *g*

We start off... )

Hello! You probably thought I'd forgotten but I've been itching to post the discussion and just not been able to yet. And I'll get my apologies out of the way first - this isn't the best weekend for me to be hosting a Reading Room, because I'm all the way up north on the Welsh coast, and more distractingly, with my brother and his family, over from Australia, including the two chatty younguns. Which is fab, but not conducive to reading, or time on the laptop... That said, the reason we're all the way up here, is that my brother wanted to see the Welsh Rally, and tomorrow we're heading off to something called Sweet Lamb, to watch cars go around in circles. It might turn out to be dead exciting, but I suspect I might be rather glad to have something else that I can do. So assuming there's a decent phone signal there - I plan to be online then. *g* If for any reason it turns out that I'm not around, though, please do chat with each other!

Our fourth story is Endgame by Tarot, as suggested by [livejournal.com profile] golden_bastet. I've definitely read all her Prosfic that I could find, because she's a good solid author, but I must admit that I couldn't remember this story at all, and barely even when I was reading it.

We come across Bodie... )

Well that's how I see it anyway. So... what did you think?!

Second in the ‘undercover gay’ series of discussions.

This is the second of Tarot’s stories in the current mini-series of undercover-as-gay fics. When I offered to ‘host’ the discussion I hadn’t even read it but I knew I liked Of Tethered Goats and Tigers and assumed I would like this. It didn’t disappoint me. I enjoyed the story very much (with a few minor reservations) and will certainly read it again. I am looking forward to seeing what other people think!

It hooked me from the very first line:
”Sit down,” Cowley said, and they sat, as obedient as dogs at Crufts.
I could instantly see all three of them in the office and the story began!

The rest of my introduction is under a cut because it contains spoilers. If you haven’t read the story yet and are intending to discuss it, go away and read it right now without reading my notes first!

Read more... )

If you have read it, I’d love to know if you agree with me, or if you have some other ideas to put forward!

P.S. I’m having access problems (today of all days the net keeps crashing) so I might be slow in replying but will get there.

And help!! I haven't been able to unlock the entry - I've tried altering my settings - should I repost??

Gay undercover - now that is my kind of story! Imagine my surprise when I found out it wasn't Ray and Bodie that were going to do the under-the-covers work, but Ray and....why I love this story... )
