Portmanteaus strike again!
Aug. 30th, 2010 04:46 pmI stopped reading the Dresden Files pretty early on, but I admit to sometimes seeking out Harry/Murphy fic. (Working together! Buddy!ship! Insults! Snarky flirtation! You all know I can't resist that combination.) Anyway, apparently someone has come up with "HariKari" to describe it. Ow, my head.
Er, so I think I've probably read all the fic out there, but if someone has a rec I'm all ears.

I spent yesterday reading The Outback Stars, feeling alternately excited and disappointed. In short: awesome universe and mysterious backstory, but too much telling rather than showing where characters and their relationships were concerned. (Jodenny and Terry interact for about ten pages and suddenly are all O HAI I LOVE U? Hmmm. Also, it's horribly against the rules for an officer and an enlisted sailor to fraternize, to the point where it ruins another character's career, and yet they get married at the end on their ship and no one really cares? Um. Though to be fair, in the sequel it looks like they're going to be in for some hard times because of it. And MacDonald seems to have a better handle on writing them as an established couple than she did as falling for each other.)
