new fic: Radio Nowhere

[hth]

So...I started last week with First Thaw (SPOILERS for "Quarantine" thataway), and now I have this, and I sort of feel like it's a series now, in that it seems to be going somewhere. I DO NOT KNOW, at this point, where exactly that might be. I honestly don't. This will either be a fascinating exercise in writing adaptively and creatively to the contours of seasons 4 and 5 as they come up -- or it'll be a complete fucking disaster and I'll never write without an outline again until the day I die. We'll see!

Radio Nowhere
post-ep, 4.15 "Outcast"
oh -- and also, spoilers for Cloverfield. Random but true.

I really like these--I'd missed the first one, so thanks for linking to it. I've been thinking, recently, about how tired I am of epilogues and episode tags, but then I see these, and that's not it; I'm tired of the sameness of them, of everyone writing the same easy scenes I could (and have, already) easily imagine, the ones that write themselves--John and Rodney going to get that beer, discovering that they were actually meant for each other, etc. You're writing things that aren't obvious, things with some original thought behind them, as well as some complex, lovely characterizations and your trademark intimacy. Do keep these up, please.

Thank you! I know there is a real need and desire in fandom for that kind of comfort-food writing -- stories you've seen before and know full well you'll see again -- and intellectually I don't see anything wrong with it. But I'm kind of like you, my tastes run more toward the "holy shit, I never would have thought of that!" type of experience as a reader. *g* So I'm extra glad that I can sometimes provide that little jolt of something new and different for other readers.
