Happy Belated Birthday

to stormwreath, who shares a birthday with my own wee hob. Boy scout dinner obligations are making it so wee hob won't really get a birthday party until about the 28th, but I did mean to wish the other birthday guy all the best. Hope you had a good day.

Short Fic Rec

Want to read a gem of a fic? No Giles anywhere to be seen, but a really cool little character study with an interesting structure? Then go check out rahirah 's There Should Have Been Trumpets.

I'd be interested to hear the reactions to it. She worried that it wasn't really a "Story" per say, and yeah, there's no conflict/ rising action, climax, etc. What would this be classified as? I dunno. It just works for me, and the structure is part of what makes it work.

That, and, the characterization is so skillfully done in this little space, I feel like I know this OC, and I have read None of the other works in this series, or if I have, I don't remember this guy at all. There's something distilled about it-- like poetry without the additional verse structure.

And hey, did I mention? Short.

Go read. enjoy.
