A pleasant read from early in the fandom's history.

- The Vertical Stripes, by respitechristopher (COMPLETE!): “Then it’s decided: the Fashion Club will henceforth be referred to as ‘The Lawndale Sweet Adelines.’ Quinn, you will sing tenor; Tiffany, you will sing baritone–”
- Data Dump, by CINCGREEN (Part 8): The choice was either to walk outside or to look for a weapon and kill them both. Did she make the right choice?

Awesomerest.
