Why this must be read:


I have been looking forward to reccing this story since the day I signed up to drive the [livejournal.com profile] crack_van for Real Ghostbusters. It is probably my favorite story from one of my favorite RGB writers; and possibly my favorite story in all of RGB fandom. There is so much to recommend it (in addition to its overall brilliance): its unconventional epistolary style which effectively captures the personality of each character; its complex, almost experimental plot; and the depth and intensity of its emotion. I find this fic - as I do much of [livejournal.com profile] xparrot's fiction - immensely cathartic; I cried genuine tears while reading it and at more than one point, had to put down the zine it originally appeared in ("Ghostwriters") to compose myself before continuing.

A caution: while the first line is certainly jarring, do not be frightened away by it. KEEP READING. Trust me. The dark ride is worth it and the resolution, perfect.
