The Sentinel by Jim Ellison is a Jim/Blair story by Speranza and Miriam Heddy.
Summary: Jim's life, sometime after TS by BS. Ok, this story is a sort of hommage to a famous science fiction author. If we tell you who it is, we'll ruin it. The answer is at the back of the story, for the curious. (g) Mild spoilers for TS by BS: in fact, the story is sort of our slant rhyme response to the ep. Enjoy. Feedback requested as always.
Reactions and Reviews
The Sentinel by Jim Ellison, a collaboration by Francesca and Miriam, has to be the smartest post-TSbyBS story I've ever read. To say any more than that would spoil it. But it's Francesca and Miriam. So, really, what more do you need to know? [1]
This has a great, intriguing premise and keeps you on the edge of your seat as you make each discovery right along with Jim.[2]
One of the best recommendations for newcomers seeking to read up in TS fandom has always been the Light My Fire Awards (LMFAs). The awards ended in 2010, but until recently, the website with links to nominated and winning stories was still available. Unfortunately, the website went defunct last month, but fortunately for TS fandom, lists of the winners from 2004 through 2009 have been preserved on Fanlore here. So I thought, in honor of the awards and in memory of the website, that this month I'd try to highlight some of the LMFA winners through the years. Starting with this story, one of my favorites and the winner of the 2005 slash post-The Sentinel by Blair Sandburg category.[3]
