NYR 2010 still there

I was recently talking to [personal profile] yvi about encouraging rare-fandom writing and reading all year round, and I'm going to kick it off by reccing some New Year's Resolution challenge fics, since they often don't get as much attention.

It's now closed for new fics, but if you haven't read anything on there since just after Yuletide last year, there are some goodies waiting for you.

Robot to the Rescue (2483 words) by favicon Elennare
Fandom: Robots - Isaac Asimov
Rating: General Audiences
Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships:
Characters: Mike Donovan, Greg Powell, JCB-3, Susan Calvin
Summary:

Powell and Donovan are field testing JCB-3, a robot designed for rescue work on Mars. All seems well, but things rarely go smoothly for the famous duo and this is no exception.


My comments: This is classic Asimov-style mystery, and is a fun read.

Dragonharper (1082 words) by favicon ChokolatteJedi
Fandom: Dragonriders of Pern - Anne McCaffrey
Rating: General Audiences
Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships:
Characters: Robinton, F'lon, Bravonner, S'loner, Dragons - Character
Summary:

Robinton is called to stand on the Hatching Ground.


My comments: A moment in time when things could have been very different. I'd love to see a sequel exploring this AU further.

Great idea! One older NYR fic that I really loved is There should be a word for this. Cambridge Spies, Guy/Anthony, really great banter and uncertain-relationship-status.
