New Challenge: Fraser POV

[brooklinegirl.livejournal.com]

Anyone who's written or read Due South fic knows just how painful challenging it can be to write good Fraser point of view. The guy wants to say "buttocks" instead of "ass," "member" instead of "cock," and "the physical act of love" instead of "fucking." He's got a very particular way of communicating and seeing the world. There's the Fraser who's snarky with his dad and with Dief, and there's the Fraser who's so often formal with the outside world.

It can be a fine balance for the writer to nail the formal, didactic tone he uses so often, as well as get a handle on that more real, human flavor that is so much a part of his character.

So, your challenge is this: rec us your favorite Fraser-POV fics. The ones that really speak to you, let you see the man behind the uniform.

The challenge will be open until late night Sunday, October 22. Remember to tag your entries! Now go out there and show us what the real Mountie is like!

Just two I had in mind (you did say they should be placed in the weekly admin posts, right?): an AU challenge and original OMC/OFC challenge. Quite self-serving, I admit, because I'm new to the fandom - very new, as in I'd be barely mastering the whole rolling over thing if my fandomness was in real time - and I'm partial to the longer epics that good plotty AUs and stories with interesting developed OMC/OFCs tend to be.
