Birthday

[elisi]

So, today is kerkevik_2014/kerk_hiraeth's birthday. He's going through a pretty rough patch at the moment, so I wondered how to cheer him. Well, he has written a LOT of fic, but sadly does not have a lot of readers - most of his stuff is drabbles/short fic, and he has a very pared down, almost poetic style.

I've pulled out a few pieces for you to try - he mainly writes about Buffy characters, and mostly in his own 'verses (he has many! And many OCs. And a lot of femslash). I am trying to get him to set up an AO3 account, because I think he needs a bigger audience, and also it would be useful for readers to have the stories in chronological order (something not easy on LJ/DW). Individual pieces have notes, so excuse the lack of introduction here.

Waterloo Sunset Angel/Nina drabble

Have You Ever Seen the Rain? Spike & Illyria drabble.

Like Seeing Your Very Own Self Looking Back At You Tara & Lisa, 200 words.

Casablanca Buffy & Faith, 200 words.

Please go read & leave some feedback, I think that would be the best present. (If you want more, just follow the links on the posts or on the sidebar.)

Definitely encourage him to set up an AO3 account. There is seriously a following for *everything* there. I've been amazed at how even the seemingly most obscure universes, characters, and pairings have their flag-wavers. I'm sure there are readers who'd love to see what he's written!

I have been encouraging a lot!! Like you say, there is something for everyone - and everyone goes there to find what they are looking for...

(I still remember when it was first created, I am so happy it actually worked and is now THE place. <3)
