brightknightie: Schanke reading Emily's novel (Reads)
Something that brought delight last week: re-reading Susan G.'s FK story "Seduction of the Diligent" across 3 lunch breaks, one chapter per day. I've had it on my Kindle for years, but hadn't re-read it in a long time.

The story features Natalie, supported by Nick and Lacroix, with cameos for Grace and Tracy. It's set in the meta-alternate-reality of Tippi B.'s "Eternal Champion" and "Son of Eternal Champion," in which there's a TV show (about Nate Champion, a werewolf who wants to be human) that stands in our characters' lives where FK stood in ours, including, at that time, impending cancellation. Susan's take chronicles not only Natalie's own fall into fandom, but our collective hopes for the bridge to what could be after cancellation.

The re-reading was really a joyful surprise, nostalgia without sadness, and a new appreciation. I recommend it!

This morning, though, when I came to link to it for you, I found that Susan's own site is down at last. That makes me sad. But of course we were lucky it stayed up as many years as it did after her loss.
