[livejournal.com profile] caramelsilver  has posted a summary post of the first week of the NFE here

Especially with ff.net acting so screwy, and really the quality of these fics is so high, do check them out.

More than kisses, letters mingles souls -- Digory comes home from the war, but Polly is still fighting hers.
Written for me!  With added telegrams.  Polly is in prison, again.

Of the Heart Where I Have Roots -- "I always did fancy I'd find myself an adventure." (Frank and Helen living in London.)  Frank, Helen, Strawberry, and the cherry covered hat.

Talking of Michelangelo  Nora met Edmund at an in-between time and in in-between places.
Written in the second person in a very affecting way, with added Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock, 1662 Book of Common Prayer, and Catullus

A Great Escape Indeed  Peter gets kidnapped and Edmund has to rescue him.
Blood, knife throwing, high adventure, a pile of poo, and really the title says it all. 

Your Journey's End  It takes the blood of many to build a mighty city.
The great city of Tashbaan has its own voice.

A Sadder and Wiser Man  "It was so strange, to see these figures that had been asleep for years, that had been such a bland, boring part of the background, to suddenly come to life before my eyes." The Four Great Lords, upon awaking from their years-long sleep.
An utterly unique gap filler -- the Telmarine Lords of Ramandu's Island wake up.

Under Cover  “I’m more concerned about a decent night’s sleep than I am about a silly school reputation, Scrubb.”
2-Parter with Eustace/Jill and the Jitterbug

Really, it would be easier if just put the Narnia Fic Exchange Community on alert.  It's Day 2, it's Frank and Helen it just makes your teeth ache, it is so adorable. 

I have 2, count em 2, stories in the exchange and I don't know when we'll see them posted.  One story will be posted a day, and their are 40 stories.  So settle in.  I had the privilege of beta-ing a few, and the quality is just so very, very good.

Also, I was on AsCast recently and did another 15 Minute Fic Round Up, with a whole slew of recs, which may be found here.

And the first story that went up is for me and it is absolutely incredible!  Fake telegrams!  She made me fake telegrams!  And there is research and snark and someone who "gets out of a jam." 

I am so very, very happy and grateful to whoever you are!

You can read this awesome story here.
And do try to review!  This brilliance deserves recognition!

I'm not writing.  I sent in my [livejournal.com profile] narniaexchange prompt (Woot!  Early!  I LOVE my prompt!  Thank you whoever you are!).  So, I'm sort of done writing for now.  Really.   I'm not working on TSG or Harold & Morgan.  I'm still too uncertain of being able to sustain a story given how readers dropped like flies at the end of TQSiT.  But, work is slow, the days are hot, and the evenings are a bit dull since I don't watch TV.  I'm using the treadmill and watching Merlin on netflix which is a total crack experience -- it's so cracky, I'm just not sure I can get by the embarrassment I keep projecting over the whole thing.

But as a result of the Narnia and feminism discussion on NFFR recently, a question came about what the heck was Aslan thinking in dumping Shasta off with Arsheesh the abusive fisherman.  Really, it is a total Dumbledore leaving Harry on the Dursley Huh sort of moment.  This is an idea I've had for a while and have even mentioned here a few times -- a retelling of The Horse and his Boy with the Trickster god of the Calormene pantheon.

So, The Horse, His Boy, the Rat, and the Trickster
