The Reading Room - Writer's Choice ~ "The Atlantean Affair"

[mrua7.livejournal.com]

This story is one of my favorites, but I have very mixed emotions when thinking about the time-period in which it was written. Firstly, on a positive note, this piece of fiction seemed to garner a lot of attention from readers and I received a phenomenal number of comments. (a first) Secondly, the sad part, while I was writing this story my dad passed away AND my only remaining sibling (my brother) had a heart attack on the morning dad died.  So there was a lot of emotional upheaval.  Finishing this story under the circumstances became a labor of love, and helped me keep my sanity.

It's an exotic tale that takes place on the island of Santorini, in the Aegean Sea. Tannned Greeks archaeologistsa, an evil THRUSH villain and villaness, Illya in a bathing suit and Napoleon, well dressed as always.  The story combines fact, history, myth and a flight of fancy... a what if? It's slightly AU, referencing Illya having a wife and Napoleon soon to be married...but that's about it for the AU)

"The Atlantean Affair," is written under the name 'MLaw.' (it's too long a story to post on LJ) Hope you enjoy reading or rereading it!

Adding my favorite to the grouping, from February of 2012 - very short, just a little over 500 words, but it was one that came out just the way I wanted it to.
