Hut hut! Surprise inspection! Front and centre! Look alive! Sister Jacqueline, you still keeping them FINALACT thumbscrews oiled?
All right, well, anyhoo...
Someone listed Kate Orman's "Beautiful World" in their top-ten fan-fic list, and said it was somewhere on Ms. Orman's website...as far as I know it isn't, but it is on mine, can be accessed via http://plaza.powersurfr.com/pennydreadful/linksilike.html#b7 --I agree, great story.
Una and Tavia (your cheques are in the mail ;-p) both mention Alison's "The Young Ladies' Home Companion" in their top tens...I do hope this story will someday appear somewhere online.
I've been pondering a top ten but don't really think I've read enough in the area to make any sort of meaningful list.
All right, men, as you were...
