Story retrieval
22 December 2020 03:24 amI've retrieved -- and read! -- three pages of favourites comprising 60 stories so far; most of them one-shots, fortunately, although there were a few with fifty-plus chapters. The only one I didn't read at all but just flicked through to download was Gefangene der Angst -- my German isn't even up to reading back my own reviews on the story any more, let alone eighty thousand words of fiction :-(
I'm impressed at the general quality, given that many of those stories were added (by me) years ago. I've never got round to purging my favourites list, but I think they all merit their place. The Harry Potter ones are a bit random -- some one-shots that I happened to come across by chance and that seemed different from usual, rather than reflecting any heartfelt recommendation of mine -- but they are quite good.
Another hundred stories to go, if my intermittent access holds out. (Including some seriously long epics, like Fraternité, Phantoms of the Past and L'Époux Cadavre.) At least this is giving me an incentive to re-read everything, even if it's not quite the Christmas present I wanted!( Read more... )
