We are so blessed with the high quality of fic authors in the BBM world. Personally for me, NZ is my favourite. If you can, do check out GE but with prior warning it is “out there” even for an AU!AU! Also she has done a couple of canon pieces that are beautiful. I was stunned with her use of language & even though I consider myself someone who likes & enjoys reading in general, I can’t remember reading anything which gave me such a strong reaction, or actually range of reactions.
SoS (love the acronym!) is coming along very well. I’m watching Deadwood on DVD at the moment & it’s helping to supplement the vivid imagery even though I’m not sure if it’s the same time period. But of course NZ’s material does not need supplementing, as it is indeed rich enough on so many levels already.
