While we're anticipating the

fkcommentfic/

fkcommentfic event, I thought I'd note that

merfilly coincidentally posted two FK ficlets during

fkficfest/

fkficfest, one 400 words and the other 275 words.

And home in FKFicFest's 2014 AO3 Sub-collection itself, many stories could still use some love! If you haven't yet, please do take a peek and find just one to enjoy! Across this year's nine FK stories, we saw one crossover, two comedies, three historical flashbacks, two explicit sex scenes, three diverge-from-canon AUs, four police plots, three mistakenly believed deaths, and five assorted approaches to vampires moving on. Uncredited cameos include Stonetree, Miklos, Aristotle and Merlin! We spanned FK's native range from defeated depression to renewed hope.

If you've already read all the stories — good for you! thank you! — here are two articles that I happened to bump into recently that tickled the FK part of my imagination:

"Blood Industry Shrinks as Transfusions Decline" by Matthew Wald (NYT, 8/22/14)
"Detectives Are Now Calling 'Gotcha' Far From the Scene of the Theft" by Michael Wilson (NYT, 8/15/14)
