Title: The Heart of Babylon, Part 1
Author: [info]lastglances
Drabble: #29 by [info]dirtylttlescret
Notes: Set anywhere between the mid-1920s and late 1093s; Brian Kinney is a retired ad man in search of the Heart of Babylon, an ancient jewel said to be imbued with unspeakable powers. He has two problems, however: to find it he needs Justin Taylor, a down on his luck Egyptologist, and he soon realizes he's not the only one after the jewel, or Justin. There is minor character death but nobody you should really care about.

Master List, Small Things Made Large, Phase Two [Mar. 7th, 2009|12:10 pm]

[Tags|, ]

I've finished posting the amazing selection of fics from the authors of the "Small Things Made Large" second phase fics. These are the full-length fics inspired by the drabbles written for phase one, which are here.

Reminder: If you are an author for either phase, we will be revealing your names in five days (Wednesday, March 11). Until then, please do not crosspost these anywhere, do not respond to comments on your fics, and please don't reveal that you're the author. After we've posted the reveal here on the 11th, you can do all those things. :)

Please remember to check back for comments or to track comments to posts containing your fic(s).

These fics are being crossposted to both LJ and IJ; the LJ mirror of this post is here.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to both phases of this challenge. I had a wonderful time reading your stories, and there are some spectacular drabbles and full-length fics here. Congratulations to everyone for a job very well done!

I'll be announcing the details of our next challenge right after the big reveal, so don't forget to keep an eye on this community on both LJ and IJ!

Master List of Phase Two Fics )

Master List of Authors, Phase 2 )

As always, if I made an error, have a broken link, received a fic that I didn't include, or there's anything I need to fix, please post here or email me at xie.kay at gmail.com.

Enjoy the fics and leave the authors lots and lots and lots of love!
