Eric Northman has received a call from his long time friend, Gabriella Calabrese AKA (Gabby) who is the Sheriff of Area 7, Chicago. Her bonded, a human named Matthew Gregorian has disappeared and Gabby is frantic to find him and asks Eric for help. Gabby has explained that their bond has been severely severed somehow and she can tell he’s alive but that’s about all she can tell from the bond. The only other clues Eric has been able to find so far have been that Matthew disappeared sometime during Gabriella’s rest.

New Drabble Challenge on the Fang_readers Community on LiveJournal

Welcome the new

Drabble Challenge on the

Fang_readers Community on LiveJournal 

by Broughps

Drabble Challenge

Hello everyone, Broughps here. In a bloodless coup (I was asked) I’ve taken over the Fangreader Drabble Challenge. Most of you have probably seen my drabbles in previous challenges. As your new dictator (facilitator) I’m going to change things up a bit. Starting today I’m giving you the chance to come up with prompts (simple one word prompts please), characters (yes they must be from the books/show not your own) and character pairings. I’ll give you a couple of weeks to come up with some ideas. I’ll then put a completed list up and you can have at it. I figure we’ll use the list for a few weeks to see how creative you all can be. You’ll be able to use any of the prompts with any of the characters/character pairings. Every four to six weeks or so we’ll switch out prompt/character lists.

Leave your prompt/character/character pairing suggestions in the comment section.

Rules:
1. Your drabble should be 100 words. No more, no less.
2. No original characters.
3. Your drabble must be self-contained. It must have a beginning, middle and an end nor it cannot be part of a larger story.
4. Drabbles can be written any time during the current round of prompts. When the time period is up no more postings on those prompts will be accepted. If you really like a prompt and can’t post your drabble in the time period allotted, feel free to suggest that prompt again, just know that it may or may not be used on the next prompt list.
5. Drabbles must be posted in the comments section below. This means you must have a Live Journal account and be a member of the fangreaders community.

Please be sure to sign up to Fang_readers Community on LiveJournal in order to be able to participate.

Give us a few comments about the story

Picks up from the end of Dead Reckoning. We see a well written Sookie preparing to take control of her life and fight her man - but will it be enough to keep them together? Can the Queen of Oklahoma tear apart the love they have for each other?
The ideas of the story could be the next Sookie book (if we didn't already have a synopsis). The author is working hard to tie up lose ends while still fighting to give Sookie & Eric their happily ever after. Well written original ideas. All of the story is from Sookie's POV but author is now working on a story from Eric's POV to fill in the blanks

Name of Story: Into His Web I Went
Author of Story : camp30
Main Characters: Sookie, Eric
URL of the story: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7823818/1/Into_His_Web_I_Went
On a scale of 1-10 how would you rate the following?
1. Did the Summary give an accurate description of the story? Yes
2. How would you rate the writing? 10 - No distractions to the storyline due to spelling or grammar.  The author obviously cares about the quality of her work.
3. How would you rate the originality of the plot? 
4. If there were Lemons how would you rate them? 10 - Not fluff filled gratuitous sex. It is a defining part of their love/hate relationship.
5. Was the main female character well written?  Yes.  She understands the reality of the world she lives in and hates the fact that she was born a woman into a world dominated by men that considered her nothing more than property.  It's very easy to forget that she's only 15 years old.
6. Was the main male character well written? Yes, very well written.  Another tortured soul.  Forced to live in a world and family that doesn't understand him but expects him to live his life in a predetermined manner.  
7.  Did the story pull you in emotionally?   Yes, I cried and got angry
8.  If complete did the ending leave you satisfied or did you feel
     there were loose ends? not complete, still a Work In Progress
Overall Rating: How many Fangs would you give this story on a scale of 1-10?  10 Fangs 
 
Give us a few comments about the story
A complex and haunting story set in 1844 Louisiana. If you are looking for the canon Sookie and Eric pairing, be warned, this is not it. It's a dark character study of the arranged marriage of 15 year old Sookie and and her dominating,  mysterious and quite possibly insane husband, Eric. On the other hand, you will probably question Sookie's views and question her cold-hearted nature.   A well written, sometimes shocking and emotional story of the love/hate relationship between this couple and the world they were born into.

Give us a few comments about the story
Very original story line. The summary gives a good description of what’s going on in the beginning. I’m not a big Claude fan, but in this story, he is a godsend. Hip hip Hurray for Claude. Scumbill and Niall are their normal cruddy selves but there is a third evil to round out the triad that you won’t see coming. I give this story a solid 8. It is a WIP but seems to be winding down. She updated on a fairly regular basis so bonus points for that (fairly regular to me is once a month).

Many thanks to Kajsa for being the first to offer a Review of one of her favorite stories …  
Name of Story: Pretty Kitty
Author of Story : Ficlit
Main Characters: Sookie, Eric
URL of the story: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6731270/1/Pretty_Kitty
On a scale of 1-10 how would you rate the following?
1. Did the Summary give an accurate description of the story? 8 - it's much more than just a lemon cart!
2. How would you rate the writing? 10 - you can really see and feel the characters emotions
3. How would you rate the plot? 10 - it's slow but interesting and enough to make this story so much more than just lemons
4. Were the lemons well written? 10
5. Was the main female character well written? 10
6. Was the main male character well written?10
Overall Rating: How many Fangs would you give this story on a scale of 1-10? 10!
Give us a few comments about the story
If there's one word to sum up Pretty Kitty it's intense! You will definitely need a cigarette/cold shower/extra bar of chocolate after each chapter. Ficlit, in her stories, takes you on a journey as captivating as Eric’s icy blue stare and there is no escaping the inevitable...
