deralte: (Roman adder)

It's that day again...

*amused by 'Dracoquill' layout today*

Am quite tempted to post to the OotR with the following links:

EDIT: Have done so.

Niffled/Classic: Becky Tailweaver's The White Dog. - Inu Yasha as it was meant to be. In some ways, I prefer this story to Takahashi's version (blasphemy!). Great OC's, realistic romance, and good portrayals of all the canon characters. Now if only she'd update more than once a year...

New Author: Nomad's Hearts and Bones. I cheated slightly here, but let's consider the fact that everyone was a new author once...Discworld's Death contemplates Valentine's day. Nicely done.

Odd ship/Strange era:From the Other River Bank by Dwimordene. Probably one of the oddest LOTR pairings I've ever read, done by the wonderful Dwimordene. She wrote it so well that I didn't mind the pairing. Quite a feat.

Reviewer/Thread:Irresistable Force by R. J. Anderson. A brilliant Doctor Who story with a wonderful OC and an interesting and very Dr. Whoish villian. Very well done.

Favourite Author:The Methos Journals by Xenon. More of an epic series really. The chronicles of Methos (and Kronos) since they met until after Kronos' death and beyond. I prefer Xenon's interpretation of the characters to how the series did it, and adore her for thinking of such cool things as the Involution and for bringing Kronos back.

Other Archive:Aoshi 1/2 by P. Rico. Some crossovers are meant to happen. This is one of them. Bloody hilarious.

Anybody else want to pick up this challange? Fill out the OotR categories with stories from any series but HP;)

Hehe. I'm slightly afraid of being thwapped for being off topic...but with your blessing;)...

I'm just writing mine. What do you think: Post it in 5 minutes?

Sounds good. I'm posting mine now:)

*cheers* I don't think the link to the Stargate stories are working, which is quite a pity since they look interesting...Would you have an alternate link to "To Catch a Falling Star" for my own amusement?

They work for me... But you can try http://www.sgi-heliopolis.com and then search for authors. I don't even know if 'Catch' is the first in the very fluffy series.

All but the last one I've reviewed at some point. The only one I've reviewed in the past week was the new author one, but considering I've read nothing this week that's not surprising, so post away:)

Ok, I'm going to do mine using 19th century novels.

That's a good one. I just hope not everyone does it... Imagine 15 'fake' posts. But at least I promoted some of my favourite fics just now...

We go through threads like they're going out of style anyway so I doubt it will make too much of a difference. Not to mention, they only have today to notice what we're doing and make up their own posts...and I know what you mean about promoting some of your favourites.

Well, let's see who comments first...

Or schoolbooks. Dictionarries. TV series. Movies. CDs.

Hmm. Perhaps we should start up a thread for this purpose in Scribbulus?

*giggles insanely at your post* Brilliant! I loved the Tale of Two Cities one:)

I'm so uneducated. I know all the names, but haven't read a single one of them...

I've only read two of them, but I'm familar with the plot and writing style of all the others, excepting War and Peace. Children's classics are quite good in that respect.

[identity profile] narcissam.livejournal.com 2003-04-01 09:36 am (UTC)(link)
You should read War and Peace. It's a nice short read. ;-)

Anyway, I wasn't joking when I said I was an English major! I love Tybalt-Quin, btw.
