| Justin Taylor and Barack Obama: Twins separated at birth? |
[Oct. 1st, 2008|08:34 am] |
The fandom has been, of late, preoccupied with the election of our lifetime, the war between the forces of light and darkness.
Rather than fight it, ![[info]](https://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) happier_bunny and I have chosen to embrace it, because we have discovered something amazing, and so we want to share with you...
Now, go donate here... show that fandom wants to make sure we're celebrating the victories instead of mourning the losses, come November! |

| Fanfic Reading Club Discussion: Christmas in the Pitts |
[Oct. 1st, 2008|11:17 am] |
Slight change in plans. My discussion will focus solely on zortrana's
Christmas in the Pitts.
I love Season 1. I often call it the season of my heart because it is the season that made me fall in love with QAF and Brian and Justin. It is also the season I know best in some ways because I have watched the episodes many, many time. However, I don't read much fic set in S1. I find the S1 dynamic between Brian and Justin hard to capture especially now that we see how their relationship develops. Too often S1 fics give Brian and Justin a level of emotional awareness they didn't develop until future seasons. When I do find a fic that really makes me feel like I'm back in S1 without the knowledge of what is still to come, it's special treat for me. And this fic does that perfectly.
( Step Back in Time With Me )
What makes a good S1 story for you? What are the hallmarks of characterization that you look for, and did you find them here? Did you feel like you back in S1 when you read this? Tell me your favorite parts and anything else that comes to mind. Thanks for reading with me. |
