Howdy! My name is
georgiesmith and I'll be driving the powder blue Dodge van this month for The Man from U.N.C.L.E.. This is my first time behind the wheel and I've got a wide variety of stories that I plan on sharing with you all.
I know most of us don't take the time to drop our favorite writers a note of appreciation for their work, so this is my way of saying thank you to all of the storytellers who have kept me up long past my bedtime with terrific tales of derring-do and sometimes, um, hot sex.
THE MAN FROM UNCLE: Pairing: GEN but it's mostly Illya's story (with a dash of Napoleon)

st_crispins Author Website: St. Crispin's Day SocietyWhy this must be read: In this story written for the
muncle Down the Chimney exchange, st_crispins deftly weaves historical events into an intense fictional Cold War tale. Her prose evokes the feeling of Cambridge in the cold winter of 1962 and I have little doubt that you'll find yourself reaching for a hot cup of tea to warm your hands whilst you read it. When I read this story, which would have fit perfectly in the first season of the show, I can
hear David McCallum narrating it; st_crispins interpretation of Illya Kuryakin is
that spot on. Having an partiality for our boys as Cold Warriors, this story hits all the right notes for me.
