Sweetness, I Was Only Joking

[redbrunja]

gacked from boosette :

Give me the title of a story I've never written, and feedback telling me what you liked best about it, and I will tell you any of: the first sentence, the last sentence, the thing that made me want to write it, the biggest problem I had while writing it, why it almost never got posted, the scene that hit the cutting room floor but that I wish I'd been able to salvage, or something else that I want readers to know.

(Bonus points if you do not specify a Naruto fic I did not write. Internet cookies if you choose some of my more obscure fandoms. Not that you have to, of course. If we only have one big fandom in common or you really want to hear about a fic I didn't write in that fandom, it's totally fine.)

Fandom: Soul Eater (hey, it's not Naruto *grins*)

Title: To Freely Bloom

Pairing: Tsubaki/Mifune (can I have internet cookies for a rare pairing choice?)

What I love about this story is pretty much what you're trademarked for: simple, effective lines and description. It's elegant but not overdone. I adore how much you say about their relationship through the little details.

*grins* This was a fun one!

"Big Damn Heroes" ~ Dresden Files. I liked the dialogue best.

"No Good Deed"- No Rest For the Wicked

Can I just say, there is so much love for this webcomic and your story was just so nice since the series has been discontinued/gone on haitus (understandably, but still, seeing these characters again just makes me happy!)

I just love the Cat and November. They are too cute! But my favorite part was your mention of the girl with no hands. It was nice to see a (semi) outsider's perspective on the characters, and while not something totally new from you, something I haven't read in a while.

hmmidty hmmidty hmm

if you don't write this fandom, I understand (as that usually happens when I pick obscure fandoms off your list :-b), but after browsing, I'm going for it:

Fandom: Sunshine, Robin McKinley

Title: My Chocolate Sauce Runneth Over

I love the little details you use to explore Con's emotions, and how well you do the crazy trainwreck of Sunshine's mind.

Probably that No Rest for the Wicked/Fables crossover where Red and Snow dueled with axes after Red nearly reacted on instinct after seeing the cubs running around.

Title: The Little Moon.
Fandom: Tortall/Tamora Pierce.
Pairing: I don't know if you've read Terrier or Bloodhound yet, so I'll say George/Alanna. But if you've read either of the Beka Cooper novels, totally Rosto/Beka.


Personally, I loved all the little details. The way you describe even the mundane makes me feel like I'm really there. And with just the tiniest of phrasing you really say a lot about their relationship. Plus, you have a way of just making the pair seem so sexy together without it always being about sex. (=
