Oh yeah. My wife actually really enjoyed that one. As far as she's concerned, she can take or leave the deconstructionist elements - fanservice that's laughing at itself is still fanservice, and making it over the top just means that there's more of it.
Nothin' but a Squirt Gun and a Magic 8-Ball: There has been a severe bureaucratic foul-up at the Pertinent Arcane Artifacts Ministry of the Forces of the Light. This Chosen One is going in *woefully* underprepared. Arc words: "That... that would have been really handy."
How Fares the Watch?: A fanfic consisting of a number of interweaving threads, following the on-duty City Watchmen of Ankh-Morpork through a single moderately eventful, but otherwise normal night. Focus on character development and relationships between the characters.
Under Cupboard Lubber: A bizarre little side story off of a bizarre Harry Potter Fix Fic/ Marty Stu. At the beginning of the story, the sky pirate crew that rescues Harry (don't ask) messes up and leaves a man behind. Now he has to pretend to be a mistreated and malnourished eight-year-old boy, partially to give his compatriots time to get away, but mostly to keep the various Concerned Entities from doing terrible things to *him* before he can manage to figure a way out of this one.
Call Not Up What Thou Canst Not Put On Hold: A short story about a magitech universe where it is, in fact possible to perform rituals (for example, summoning rituals) with the aid of technological systems (like the phone system). In fact, with the new generation of smart-phones, it's easier than ever. Our Hero bites off a bit more than he can chew.
And for mine...
