Promote your favorite Sutcliff book(s)!

[isis]

We're going to post the Sutcliff Swap rules and schedule, and open for sign-ups, Real Soon Now! But while you're waiting, why not squee about your favorite Sutcliff book in the comments here? This is your chance to remind others of that book they'd almost forgotten they'd loved, and inspire them to request or offer fanfiction or fanart for it. And if a book you haven't read sounds good to you, you can read it this summer and enjoy the fanworks created for it - and maybe you'll want to request it for Yuletide or Yuletart, or for next year's Sutcliff Swap. (Because this is going to be so much fun we will want to do it again!)

We're doing this on Dreamwidth only, so that we can use comment subject lines to identify the books we're talking about. If you don't have a Dreamwidth login, you can use OpenID or comment anonymously. ETA: anonymous commenting is now enabled! OpenID works too, which will email you comment replies. Please join in and promote your favorite Sutcliff books (this post has a list of all the books), and start thinking about what you might want to request and offer for the Sutcliff Swap!

Also, if you are intrigued by the descriptions of books you haven't read yet, you should be sure to join, not just watch, the community (at either site) so you can see locked posts. *cough*

Re: Knight's Fee

I love this book a lot, although it is very sad. The way the tragedy builds up in slow, measured acts is really masterful.

Post-canon Randal/Herluin ... oh, wow, I bet I could write that. Herluin wouldn't stay, if course, but Randal would always be watching for him to come down the track.

It really is beautifully constructed - re-reading now, I'm reminded all over again just how complex this one is, almost bridging the gap between the lovely simplicity of her books for older children and her adult novels.

... I'm not going to push, your sign up is your business, but I caught my breath when you said you could write Randal/Herluin. Thank you so much for the thought alone.

I am also onboard the post-canon Randal/Herluin ship, but I'm having a little trouble wrapping my brain around how to make it work (obviously, as opalmatrix says, Herluin would be in and out).

Plus there's the Gisella factor: I think it's pretty clear she and Randal will get married eventually....
