Cyanotype by Blythely and Sparcck, NC-17

Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] blythely and [livejournal.com profile] sparcck

Why this must be read:

This fic, while admittedly in an area of the DCU universe that didn't get covered by [livejournal.com profile] ficbyzee's nearly-comprehensive rundown, is too brilliant to not rec right off the bat. (My name is Propaganda, usually just known as Prop, and I'm driving the DCU van for the month of October. Sorry for the late start -- in between shenanigans and the Flu From The Pit Of Doom, it took me way too long to remember that I was supposed to do this. I'm a slash reader and writer, though I love and treasure a good gen story and tend to fall madly in love with the few het stories that do it for me.)

Cyanotype is a kind of fic that is shockingly rare for a fandom that is all about the marriage between graphics and text: an interactive, multimedia-based story. Blythe and Sparcck use amazing photoshop skills and even more amazing writing skills to blend the two elements of storytelling into a beautiful, stunning, and just plain hot fic about these two. It is a must-read for the Legion of Superheroes subset of fandom and still an exciting story even for someone whose closest association with the DCU is that Superman wears his undies on the outside.

Dude! this was so on the list of fics I was gonna rec, but just didn't have room for, so I'm thrilled to see it here. *g* You have awesome taste.

Better late than not at all. ;)

And yes, this is a fantastic story!

And that actually sounds colder than I meant it to -- the bit about not at all.

I figure something catastrophic must have happened to Sept's driver, and it's better to get started a bit late than not be able to post at all because of RL.
