Poetry: The Choices of Lady Éowyn

[zdenka]

I started writing this last year for the Half a Moon Challenge Day 6: Choices. The Mini-Moon challenge inspired me to go back and finish it -- thanks to sidleypkhermit for running this! It also fits this year's Day 1 theme, War and Peace.

Creativity is an essential part of life, but creative women are often as underrepresented and disrespected in fiction as they have been in many a history book. This is for the musician, the playwright, the novelist, the actress, the game designer, or the dedicated Starfleet officer who copes with the stress of her job by escaping to her Sherlock Holmes stories on the holodeck. It's for the journalist and essayist, the stand-up comic, the ad writer, the letter-writer, the artistic dissident. Let's hear what they have to say.

Multifandom Recs

[wendelah1]

Two recs came to mind immediately for today's theme, Arts and Letters. One is for The X-Files, one for Star Trek: AOS.

The first is a cute fic by Livia Balaban about Scully hiding a new hobby from Mulder. Balaban's site is gone so it is only available through the Internet Archive now. My favorite fic of hers is about Mulder writing fanfic for an imaginary scifi show. Fits the theme, but not right for this challenge. Anyway, you should check it out, too. Her name links to her Waybacked site. She's a wonderful writer and I rarely see her work mentioned anymore.

The God of Your Whims by Livia Balaban
Rated light R(language and some nookie) = S, A, H, heaps of MSR
Spoilers: general spoilers through S6
Summary: Mulder makes some big decisions when he discovers Scully's deceit.

There are also two short, shippy sequels.

I am thrilled to have an opportunity to rec this story by Tassoss as it is a favorite. It's a beautifully written backstory for Uhura, which was originally written for halfamoon 2010 .

Summary:

Nyota Uhura fell in love with music, poetry, and language all at the same time.

Since I could only think of two stories off the top of my head, I decided put on my thinking cap to see if I could come up with a character or two who is an artist or a writer. Success! Little Women is a childhood favorite. Jo March is an aspiring writer. These stories end with Jo/Laurie because that's the pairing my ten-year-old heart shipped.
