Heya all
Newbie here, just wanting to write a quick note to say 'hi' <nervous
wave of hand> and introduce myself
I'm one of those people who walked out of the cinema some (oh gods,
tell me it isn't!) seventeen years ago, chanting 'Goblin King, Goblin
King, Wherever you may be; forget about my baby bruv', you're better
off with me!', and aching to wake up in the Underground. Sigh… never
made it out of this world, but Jareth's held a soft spot in my heart
ever since.
I've just recently discovered the huge wealth of fanfic that's out
there, though - I've been scouring the various sites that Google's so
obligingly suggested to me over the past two weeks, trying to find as
much fic as I can… but it only occurred to me to try out yahoogroups
today… and that's how I come before you today <lets a little of the
nervousness go, and drops a quick curtsey>
So far, my ultimate favourite in terms of plot, characterisation, and
pretty much anything else you care to mention, is Helen Fayle's Dark
Labyrinth - but there's a lot of good stuff out there! Does anyone
have any suggestions for other good stories that are anything like
this one? (I'll admit, I tend towards the 'evil Jareth' ones - or at
least the somewhat twisted, tortured and definitely conflicted Jareth
ones). I keep wanting to write something… but I'm *hopeless* at
plotting, so if I do work up the courage to post something, it's more
likely to be a scene or a vignette of some sort than a 'real' story.
But whether I dare post anything or not, I'm really looking forward
to reading other people's stuff, and I'm grateful for the chance to
access it ;-)
Gods bless
