"First met" stories

Hi!
I really would love to read some "first met" stories.
Could you please make some suggestions?

Hi! ;-)

Preliminary report: I started with Russ - and "Learning Trust" is very good!
Very exciting! I love the sentence: "You're a nasty little sod when you're roused, aren't you?" Isn't that a good beginning for a friendship?

Arabian Nights isn't my kind of stuff. I think first I stay in England in "their" time. Maybe later?

But I think I go on reading some other stories of Russ.

Good tip!!! Thanks!

Sorry, only just seen this post! Very glad that you enjoyed Learning Trust.

I hated the idea of Arabian Nights before I tried it (didn't really like AUs) but once I'd read it, it became a real favourite and I've read it several times since.

Hmmmmmmm.....
O.K. I try it. And I'll give you report! ;-)

If you start it and don't like it please don't feel you've got to finish it, *but* I really hope you like it. And it may take a few pages before you can really get into it.

Well, you know, I even leave the cinema if I don't like a film in the first 10 minutes...

And I started Arabian Nights... and... it's done!
(O.K. - one or two sleepless nights...)


You are absolutely right!!!!!

I love it!

I'm *so* pleased you enjoyed it! It really is a sweeping saga of a story, isn't it? I think one of its strengths lay in the well-written extra (original) characters which the author created such as Cambridge, Gaston and Zachery - I loved them all and found the scene with Zachery reuniting with Doyle really moving. So glad you liked it and thanks for letting me know that you did.

Have you read Pamela Rose's Professional Dreamer by any chance? Even though I haven't read it and the plot is nothing like Araban Nights, I've heard so many good things about it I wondered if you'd enjoy it. Apparently it's well-written, very funny and cleverly plotted.

Again something I would never read!
But I think there is something strange that rules me... ;-)

But I think there is something strange that rules me.

Sounds like your heart and not your head....?

My heart always...

And:
Curiosity.
Good experiences with tips.
Bad experiences with own fishing in the story pool
Strong fear of some LJ members with such scary names as "Shooting To Kill", with Cowley manners, who send out newbies to try out things they do not dare... ;-)

Ups its late... 03.26 am AT NIGHT...
