It's Back, The Reading Room

[glennagirl.livejournal.com]

I had to check the Calendar to see what is going on today.  I admit that Real Life sometimes swamps my awareness of things here on LJ.  Yesterday's comment to avery11 suggesting she post her first story led to an all out First Story Assault, so thank you all very much.  We have so much energy and talent occupying our little community and I continue to be amazed that you've all found yourselves here alongisde the three of us who started up this little venture.  mrua7 and carabele have been with me since the onset, and all of those who have joined and helped build Section VII into a bonafide writing site are MFU fangirls (and a few guys I think) of the highest calibre... and I'm talking heart.  We love MFU and we love the men who make it churn with passion, adventure and sometimes humor.  So, thank you to everyone.
If you missed yesterday, just check out the Most Recent entries and enjoy some fine reading.
So, today is supposed to be the Reading Room.  I haven't really been keeping up and I think it was on hiatus until now, for a summer break.  I was trying to remember the first MFU fanfiction I read, but I can't.  Certainly the earliest were on ff.net and then file40.  I'm fairly certain that this story was among the first, and remains one that stands out for its intensity, length and attention to detail.  You can find it in serveral locations but I'll give you the ff.net.  I don't know if she's here on LJ, but feel free to add links and info.

This is one of my absolute favorite stories. Great rec for the reading room today. And thanks for the shout out. It's been quite a journey here on Section VII, and a good one at that. Our little site is like the little engine that could and now with so much talent posting here, it's become a fabulous writing site for all things MFU.

Thank you for starting Section VII!

Thanks for the rec as I have been looking for this fic. Just finished reading. She's quite a good writer. I've read several of her MFU fics.

Thank you!

Nothing starts a day better than positive feedback on an older story I wrote! So glad this community is here (even though I am an LJ member, I am hopeless as a knowledgeable user!), especially since File 40's demise. My new website is ajbfanfic.com and all my MFU stories are there except for a slash version of Running Man - not sure I want that one posted, lol!

Anyway, thanks for the very generous feedback and recommendation. I will check back here to find some reads!

I checked your membership to section VII and made one change, so your comments should be visible now.

You mean you've been incognito all of this time ;) So nice to know you're among our ranks, I hope you've enjoyed the stories and fun we have here. I hope you'll get a chance to join in on a challenge here and there. Your stories were among those that inspired me to write, so thank you.

wow, that's a very nice compliment! Thanks to you in return! I've joined the October round robin - I just hope I can figure out LJ by then, lol! I still have problems finding things. Be patient during my learning curve!
