I've been thinking recently, and I've a proposition to make.
While looking for more places to pimp my M*A*S*H fanfic, it occured to me ... there aren't any. This appears to be the only M*A*S*H community on LJ that isn't long dead, besides one icon community (which I'm also a member of). A google search came up with nothing. Ff.net is ... not the best site ever. And the rest of the net seems scarily M*A*S*Hfic-free.
Now the only problem with posting fic here is, it only accomodates slash. While I love slash with a passion (*points to icon*), this limits the number of M*A*S*H fans willing to post fic here, and thus the number of fans likely to see our writing.
Please understand I'm not trying to usurp this community. On the contrary - I love it here. I simply think we need more places to host fanfic and get reviews.
If I created a community for any M*A*S*H fanfic, regardless of pairing, rating or content, perhaps with monthly fic challenges to participate in, would there be any interest? As one more place to pimp fic, I can't see it would be a bad idea, but to get me motivated enough to actually go and create a community, I need a lot of comments saying "yay!" and such ... so over to you.

maybe the only post-war fic i've ever written that i've really loved?

MMKAY SO. I haven't posted anything in six months, which I think for anyone else would be indicative of the fact that they'd found a new fandom, but for me means that I haven't written a blessed word in six months, save for this piece which I wrote for hashbash, meant to post here, and then never did. Yeeeeah organization! ANYWAY the point is that:

a) I really like this story. I read it over, changed a few teeny tiny little things from back in October, and declared it one of my personal favorites, out of the things that I've written for M*A*S*H. (AHAHAHA I have written a grand total of FIVE things though so that doesn't really mean anything at all.)
b) I would like you to read this please and then offer some criticism if you've got it! Pretty much anything would be cool short of, "this revelation should be punchier please!", because really for me this piece is about style. I'm going to be showing it to my father in a few days, and his opinion really, really means a great deal to me, and honestly I just want to show him the best little story I can. YOU KNOW HOW IT IS. (Ahahaha also sekritly we're going to pretend that it's relatively new because hehe he thinks I wrote it for Mike Farrell's birthday. Hopefully he will not realize that the name "BJ" does not appear in here a single time?)

So, without further ado, here you go!

Title: A Hazy Shade of Winter
Pairing: Hawkeye/Sidney
Disclaimer: This show is obviously not mine because Hawkeye and BJ never engaged in anything even remotely mistakable for what my grandma refers to as "getting sexy". :(
Rating: Let's go ahead and slap a PG-13 on it and be done with it.

( i'll write you a postcard, i'll send you the news // from a house down the road from real love. )
