The Steve Walker Artwork Challenge by various authors (G to NC-17)

Fandom: THE SENTINEL
Pairing: Jim/Blair (mostly)
Length:  snippet to medium length
Authors on LJ: see individual stories
Why this must be read: Because sometimes it’s just amazing how inspiring one person can be.

This first recommendation is actually a collection of stories tied to a [livejournal.com profile] sentinel_thurs challenge. [livejournal.com profile] carodee recently reported that the incredibly talented painter Steve Walker had passed away quite suddenly in January. She points to this tribute by Dustandroses (warning for dial-up users that this has a lot of artwork in the post).

Way back in 2005, there was a Sen Thurs challenge for people to write stories based on Steve’s artwork. With hundreds of paintings to choose from, it was a particularly fruitful prompt. Almost seven years to the day later, the world mourns the loss of the artist who inspired 23 stories in that TS challenge, as well as countless other writers and artists. If he had known, I think Mr. Walker would have approved and enjoyed these interpretations of his art.

The original web page cited in the challenge is gone, but you can see his paintings here . Definitely worth the time to peruse the source material as you read the many and varied stories.
