RATING/WARNING(S): General Audiences
WIP?/WORD COUNT: No/1160
MAIN CHARACTERS: Bill the Lizard, the Gryphon, The Mock Turtle

FIC SUMMARY:

Bill the Lizard enjoyed his afternoons off when he visited the Gryphon and Mock Turtle. Today, their three-angled conversation first ranged over the usual pleasantries
... and then they planned a party.

RECCER'S NOTES: Lovely fic on what Bill does on his day off: has tea and sandwiches with the Gryphon and the Mock Turtle. A great combination of various Alice in Wonderland canons to tell a brief tale.

MAIN CHARACTERS: Mina Harker, Jonathan Harker, Alice (Alice in Wonderland), Martians (War of the Worlds)

FIC SUMMARY:
Original prompt:  The only characters I nominated are the Narrator and the Martians, but feel free to write about any of the others if you like. I'd love to read anything at all! The only thing I'll beg for is this: please don't "fix" the science with modern knowledge. Old sci-fi is so fascinating to me because yes they're some great stories but also because they're so firmly of their time, they're like glorious little time capsules of every stage of recent scientific discovery and imagination. I'd love to see something in keeping with Wells' era of more limited knowledge but limitless possibility.

Also - so much potential for amazing crossovers! How do Mina and Jonathan/Sherlock and Watson/grown up Alice or Jim Hawkins/Oscar Wilde(?!) fare with the Martians? If you want to write a crossover/fusion type thing I would be all over that. I'm familiar with a lot of Victorian literature, and plenty of modern stuff set around the same time, but even if I don't know your other fandom I'd still be interested in a crossover if there's something you want to write - I get sci-fi disaster fic AND a new fandom, double win :D

RECCER'S NOTES: This fic is amazzziiinnnggg <3 of the three books, the only one I haven't read is War of the Worlds, so I can't comment on that element of it, but I can say that the vocal and turns of phrase in Mina's journal entries felt exactly right, and the whole thing was such a joy to read. Alice's cameo was wonderful too, her little Alice-esque comments felt perfectly Alice without detracting from the seriousness of what's happening to them all. Loved it! <3

MAIN CHARACTERS: Cheshire Cat, Mad Hatter, March Hare, and Dormouse

FIC SUMMARY: ...In which the Hatter and the Hare meet the Cheshire Cat at Tea for the first time.

RECCER'S NOTES: It's hard to express how much I love this fic. Absolutely everything--the characterizations, the wit ♥--feels like it could easily be in the actual novel. Also, the tags for this work included puns and word play, literary references and allusions, tea, and cats. Here, have the first few lines:

“If you insist on making fun of my ears, I shall have to ration your tea,” the March Hare exclaimed rather too loudly for the Mad Hatter’s tastes.

“And if you insist on rationing my tea, I shall have to make fun of your ears,” the Mad Hatter countered.

“Aha! That was your third abuse! You shall now have to pay me interest,” the Hare declared.

They had been trading abuses (two pence each, for starters) in between cups of tea.
