xf_book_clubFor Thanksgiving three years ago ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
wendelah1 posted JET's widely loved holiday fic, "Small Lives Awake." It happens to be the first fic I ever commented on, here at the book club, which makes me feel rather delighted to have the privilege of posting my own choice of Thanksgiving fics this year, this one also by JET.
"Relic of Tough Weather" was written and is set in November, 1999, shortly after the events of TSE:AF. Though it doesn't have the length or popularity of "Small Lives Awake," it is a distinctive blend of JET's signature style: evocative prose and compassionate characterizations.
Relic of Tough Weather
JET's still around, to some extent; I'm sure she would appreciate the feedback. And, as ever, our nomination post is open for recommendations.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone celebrating the occasion.

Re: Themes: Fear and Love
Date: 2011-11-29 11:23 pm (UTC)People's opinions on things always affect me. That's why I'm here, that's why I like this place so much. There's no need to apologise, Fish. Like I said, what's important about this community is that people get involved, and post their opinions as honestly as they can. But yes, I love this story.
Vocal yes, majority no. To my count it's a 4 to 3 against.
Yeah, I noticed that too, but my saying so would've been kind of a tacky way of validating my argument, I think.
Or a tie since Lighlack didn't say what she thought but reading her post I assume she's a JET fan.
She's a HUGE JET fan. ROTW is not her favorite of JET's stories, but she's definitely in the "like" camp on this one. (She and I have talked about this in RL, which is why I'm comfortable speaking for her in this case.)
