Reactions and Reviews

Dana is one of my most favorite authors. Her story Gentlemen, Start Your Engines has been previously recced here on crack_van, and it was one of the very first S/H stories I read when I fell into this fandom. This story is much shorter than Gentlemen, but the impact is still strong. This one is light and funny. Hutch makes his feelings known to Starsky through an ingenious playing of a Scrabble game. [1]

You may have noticed that I am fascinated with the way authors put words together, make them flow and blend into a wonderful story. So this fic is actually about making words--playing Scrabble. Starsky wants a quiet evening, but Hutch is disgruntled. They're not communicating well until Hutch pulls out the quintessential word play game, and suddenly the subtle meanings become a whole lot clearer--and on a triple word score square, too. [2]
