Fanfiction Writers Appreciation Day, August 21st

ato-the-bean:

To celebrate the Fanfiction Writers Appreciation Day on August 21st, and following this post, here’s what you can do to show your favorite fanfiction writers how grateful you are for their work!

Okay, so here’s my rec for today.  It’s a 00q WIP and it’s FABULOUS.

Ulysses  by girlbookwrm

     

“Paperwork for the new head of Q-Branch,” Tanner said.

“Of
course.” The words were like glass in his throat. Smoke inhalation was a
bitch. His brain felt slow and foggy, like it was full of smoke too.
“Whom shall I take them to?”

M lifted one white brow. “They’re for you, Quartermaster.”

Bond
and Q are drawn together by names, work, and a certain Aston Martin. In
which Q is kidnapped once, Bond is poisoned twice, and Eve is a badass
on at least three occasions. AKA that time I tripped and wrote 67,000
words of 00Q.

What I love about it:  It’s so smart. Characterizations are fantastic.  It starts with some missing scenes and the timeline of the films we know, but never retells things we should know  from canon (i.e., doesn’t bore us), just fills in things that make this universe special.  Then it picks up in earnest after Spectre.  The dialogue is sharp and witty and crisp, Q is tough and adorable and Bond is reluctantly soul searching when he’s not in total denial of his feelings.  Moneypenney characterizes Bond as, “With him, it’s either no feelings, or all the feelings.”  And it feels totally true. 

It’s slow burn with lots of action and great character arcs.  I can’t wait to read the rest.

When Bond came back from retirement he had a lot of amends to make. It will help if you’ve read “Of Cats and Mortgages” and “Pray You Now, Forget and Forgive.” Consider this something of a continuance of that?

Just finally read Mr. Nice Guy by @rabidchild67 (which is awesome and you should go read it right now…I’ll wait) and the last chapter made me remember this old comic from when Tim Kreider first moved to NYC.  Zach reminded me of a suave version of Tim in this cartoon.  Here’s the original Artist’s Statement:

The truth about this cartoon, which I will share with you website visitors, is that I originally drew it as a change-of-address postcard to notify all my friends that I was moving to New York for the winter. And then what with the frantic confusion of moving, I never found time to draw a cartoon for the week, and submitted this in desperation at the last minute, hoping that it would be funny enough. I promise new, non-recycled material next week.
 

The geeky cognoscenti among you won’t need to be told, but in case anyone else cares, the characters appearing in this cartoon include: Batman at the upper left, Superman ascending in front of the building, Doc Savage (whose headquarters are on the 86th floor of the Empire State Building) in the zeppelin, the Fantastic Four (three in their flying Baxter Car plus the Human Torch, who’s traced the F.F.’s trademark 4 in the sky), and of course Ol’ Webhead, all of them converging on King Kong, who is atop the E.S.B. swatting biplanes out of the sky. 

I have been here for three days now. So far, no superhero sightings.

Zach turns forty and his world changes. Or, maybe, it circles back to where it was always meant to be.

*

Zach spots him as soon as he steps in the cafe; sitting with his back to the wall, a mug of coffee that Zach knows has been refilled at least twice by the way Chris’ leg is slightly jittery, and a moleskine on the table, hand moving in a steady rhythm as he scribbles something down.

“Hi,” Zach says once he’s by the table, casting a shadow over Chris. He tries not to think about the symbolism in that.
