Nomination post

[emily-shore.livejournal.com]

Is there a story that you would like to discuss? Do you want to talk about some of the classics of the genre, like "Iolokus" or "Parabiosis"? Do you want to pick shorter stories, so that we can fit in more variety? Do you like casefiles? Character studies? The possibilities are endless.

Nominate your choices here, and support the nominations for other stories that interest you. Once we have a few suggestions, I'll try to draw up a schedule that suits everyone.

Some recs that I've had stored in my bookmarks forever. And I do mean forever. Old Skool, baby! Old Skool!

I remember Jill Selby's Aspirations of Closure (http://s88210564.onlinehome.us/jill/Aspirati.txt) as being laugh out loud funny and you know what? It still is. Short little piece, but high-LAR-ious.

Karen Rasch was always one of my favorites in terms of writing wonderful canon characters, and her No Greater Love series (http://fluky.gossamer.org/author/10046-1.html) is something that's stuck in my head all these years later. (I wasn't able to find all 4 parts on one page, however. Sorry about that. All of my old links are mostly dead.) Great case file, great characterizations, fine writing. A story I have always loved, and I got to thinking about M & S's spiritual lives after reading the recent discussion about it over on xfiles and this story came to mind.

Madeleine Partous's The Pact series (http://fluky.gossamer.org/author/10879-1.html). (Again, I wasn't able to find a single page for these.) This does have MSR (and some hot NC-17 sex) but is also a very well-written case file. I love it when an author can pull this off. And Madeleine sure can. Also, Juan? One of my favorite author's own characters.

Thanks! I'll add them to our to-do list. I was getting worried that no one was out there.

I found "No Greater Love" at the Annex. I found a really great Mulder/Scully/Krycek story, too. Have you read "Sparks Fly Upward?" by Vehemently?

"The Pact" is at the Annex, too.

I found it! It was in The Annex. The Pact.

I am posting it tomorrow. I've never read it, so I'm excited.

I just realized your icon is animated. Very clever!
