5 Differently Structured Fanfics

[cmk418]

I tend to gravitate to pieces that don't follow the ordinary structure. Here are five of my favorites from this year:



An Alphabet of Fred by deird1 - A list of Fred's qualities and memories mixed in with Illyria's told from Illyria's point-of-view. A wonderful character study.

Application by deird1 - Faith deals with the bureaucratic side of the Council while filling out an application for a child-care center for the children of Slayers. This piece consists of the application questions and Faith's responses.

Chao-Ahn's Letter by gillo - Probably the most straightforward narrative of the five, but a very nice strategy to go more in-depth to Chao-Ahn's life before Sunnydale and her experiences with the Scoobies and the rest of the Potentials.

Speak as Liberal as the North by deird1 - Poetic look at the Fred-Wes-Gunn triangle through the lens of Shakespeare's "Othello". The last line is a killer.

Who's to Say I'm Not by me_llamo_nic - Femslash between Buffy and Willow plays out in an IM conversation. Definitely should make readers LOL.

All of these are great, but "Application" had me on the floor...something about the difficulty of a Slayer finding a suitable preschool program is just inherently funny.
