U is for Untitled


This week, I read two fics that I will not be writing up: one starting with L and worth 27 points, and the other starting with Y and worth 21 points. If you are unbearably curious about why I'm leaving these out, you can send me a private message, and I'll explain. (No, it's not because they are smutty.)
The first piece I will be writing up today is Winter Solstice, Camelot Station by John M. Ford. This is a prose poem that began its life as part of a Christmas card from the author to a friend and was later published in several anthologies. As the name suggests, it is based on Arthurian legend. I'm not going to claim that all modern interpretations of Arthurian legend are fanfic (though if you wanted to claim that, I also wouldn't contradict you). I think this one counts, however, since it appears to draw from another published 20th century interpretation, The Once and Future King.
