Wow! It's been a while since I've done one of these! Sorry about that, guys! I've been busy with Really Real Life (like real life, but the copyright is Donna Noble). It's time for a special week! Since there's a drabble meme going around that's producing some pretty amazing stuff (and it's been far too long since we've had a special week!), this week is No Prompt Week! How does it work? Well, follow all of your regular reccing rules, except the fic does not have to be from a prompt community (or, for that matter, have to have a prompt at all!)

That's for this Friday only, and then we'll all be back to normal posting procedures next week!

Remember, if you're looking for graphics to link your posts to, or a way to tell others that you've recc'd something they've written, ficrecfriday has a fantastic graphics post here!

And if you have any suggestions for future special weeks, please feel free to PM myself or Super Mod Sam!

Also! A very happy Thanksgiving to our lovely American reccers and readers! Take care!

I haven't made lunch yet and I'm hungry. Expect some food references.

Notes: This is a brilliantly done one-shot of the "Turn Left" universe, without any part of you wondering if this is something Jack would do or how UNIT would react to his presence. There are wonderful little nooks and crannies (Like an English muffin!) where new and interesting plots could form. I love this, it's spectacular.

Here's a brief slice of a longer plot, beautifully constructed and wonderfully excecuted. There isn't a need for overhyping the tension in this situation, only a few words beautifully puts it out there. You really pick your days, Jean-Paul.

Notes: This is lovely! A little vampire mystery sandwiched in between some wonderful Buffy-Giles time and a healthy heaping of religious curiosity. I don't think religion was ever properly tackled in Buffy, and it's nice to see some narrative curiosity about that topic. Brief, but lovely!

But this Kirk is surprisingly fun and witty, retaining all of the male qualities of Kirk while still being female. Oh! And this story is just the cherry on top! Humorous in an almost classically-Star Trek-camp sort of way! Love it!
