Nomination post

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.

I like the way we are comparing and contrasting two fics from the S4/5 hiatus at the moment, and I would like to suggest a similar approach with two fics that try to explain the missing time in All Things. Two I'm thinking of are Confirmation (http://s88210564.onlinehome.us/bonetree/confirmation.txt) by Bonetree, which is quite angsty, and Night Song (http://krycek.gossamer.org/display.php?NightSong.Zuffy) by Zuffy, which is more light-hearted. They're both pretty short, in fact Confirmation is a vignette, so we could probably do them both in one week.

I love both these fics because they're beautifully written, and even though they represent events in very different ways, I think they're both still true to character.

What do you think?

Sorry for the multiple edits - I fail at coding.

I definitely like the idea of doing some shorter stories. Since we give a week for reading and discussion, we tend to choose stories that take a whole week to do justice to. I've been thinking of maybe having a "Short Story Week" where we discuss a new short story every day, and these two would fit very well into that model.

Also, yes, compare and contrast is really cool.
