Pros Alpha-fic Bingo - C is for Command Performance and T is for Table Conversation

[byslantedlight]

My next fic in Second Variation on the Theme of B and D was Command Performance by Maiden Wyoming, and it turned out to be a sort of AU crossover featuring Bodie and then Alan Cade. I wasn't totally convinced by it - partly because I don't think I ever saw a Happy Eater where thirty people could have lain down on the floor all at once! - and I'm not mad on the overall theme. Bodie wasn't a Bodie I wanted to know, and there was something of the so-wise-and-worldly-Bodie vs naive-wee-Doyle-Cade, but... I was able to read to the end, which I can't always, so... That said, I can't find a source for Maiden Wyoming anywhere online. (There's a surprising number of fics entitled Command Performance, mind you!)

The next story in the zine was Table Conversation by PFL, which is of course also online in various places. It's basically philosophical dialogue over the cleaning of guns, and to be honest I'm not sure that I buy into this one, but it's interesting enough... That said, I did remember reading it before, so I was expecting the... well, you know. The unexpected. *g*

You're much braver than I am; I won't read a story where one of them is with a different character that the other actor played. Just not in my wheelhouse.

Hah! I'll just say, I don't buy into the conversation in Table Conversation! *g* It was, quite literally, a table conversation I had with a couple of friends, and they were arguing that that broad scenario was a distinct possibility and I didn't buy it at all. So, I wrote the story. Because, you know, I sometimes write anti-kinks... *g*

Sorry for the drive-by commenting. Life is extremely challenging just at present. I hope you all will be here when I can be more regular--next academic year!!
