FK Recommendation August 2011

What's Good?  On FKFic-L, August used to be "Susan's Birthday Month," honoring Susan G.'s immense contributions to the fandom with an abundance of new fanfic for everyone to enjoy.  (Her email signature at that time: "For my birthday, I want fiction. Lots and lots of fiction. Tons of the stuff.")  This August, in memory, the recommendations project features one participant in that happy tradition: "Strays" by amilyn (1997, G, ~2K words).  It's a straightforward relation of how Sydney (and Nick) settled into Natalie's life.

As the door closed behind them, Sydney meowed once, then walked with some dignity to the new furniture he wasn't supposed to sit on, and made himself at home.

What's New on FKFic-L?  July saw two new pieces on the fanfiction email list: "Flying Sparks" by greerwatson (short story) and "Problem Child" by 1_mad_squirrel (haiku).  August saw six!  (All came from FKFicFest. I'll list them next month, as usual.)
