Challenge #4: Rec The Contents Of Your Last Page

Turns out, the last page of my bookmarks were for recs I wanted to (but never did) from my first year of doing Yuletide back in 2011.

Here, have some old fics in very small fandoms (I am dropping links and my originalcommentsonthe story as it had been so long and Ican't take the time to read them again-- not when there are NEW-ish things to read and comment on) : 

First, this was the first fic I had written for me. ❤️ From Christopher Moore's "Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal" which I vehemently rec as well. ❤️❤️

My comment: kfjsal;djfas;lfj

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!! I can not even express how very much I loved every perfect word of this amazing story! It just rang true in so many ways. I felt like I had found a secret gospel to Moore's secret gospel. You have an amazing gift of getting voice and character just PERFECT.

There were so very lines and exchanges that I adored and could spend all day quoting back to you (and I might come back to do that very thing) but the thing that had me HOWLING, like ridiculously loud and long was this:

“You’re okay with publishing your gospel as fiction then?”

“Whatever! So long as I can crush this Dan Brown goatfucker.”

“Um. Sounding a little possessed by demons there, Maggie.”

“And of course, so long as it spreads the Word far and wide,” amended Maggie piously.

“Of course.”

THAT WAS AMAZING! From now on, that will be my aspiration in life as well. TO CRUSH THE GOATFUCKER DAN BROWN!!

SO VERY MANY HEARTEYES FOR THIS STORY!!

My comment: Wow. I just love this a ridiculous amount! It's perfect. Each time you introduced a character I feel in love with them and declared they were my favorite, and then I realized the truth. I had fallen in love with you. Your way of getting these characters and making them real all over again in familiar and in new ways. I loved seeing them all in your James' eyes.

Thank you for this!
