Short story week: nominations post

[emily-shore.livejournal.com]

As you will know, at xf_book_club we pick a new story every week (or so). What this means is that we tend to focus on stories that take a full week to read and discuss--in other words, longish stories.

Well, we think it's time for a change. There are lots of great vignettes and short pieces in the X-Files fandom, and they deserve their due as well.

So... we're planning something that for lack of a better term I'm calling Short Story Week. It will be a week (or so) where we discuss a different short story every day. But first we need your suggestions! Bring us drabbles, vignettes, one-shots, anything as long as it's the sort of manageable length that you can read in one easy sitting.

I have a couple of suggestions if you are still short of ideas. Your Platonic Relationship: An Owner's Manual by nandamai, In the Clearing by Maria Nicole, Beige Wall by Geb, or The Mill by cofax. Oh and Four Corners by M. Sebasky. One more: Night Giving Off Flames 1/2 and 2/2by JET. It might be a little bit over the limit, at 52K.

Oh wow, many, many options! I think I'll pick one more and you can pick one more, if that makes sense. My only proviso is that I think some of your choices are on the long side. How about either "Your Platonic Relationship," "The Mill," or "In the Clearing." The others might be good for our usual one week discussions.
