A very, very long time ago (or so it seems, at the moment) there was a prompts table put up. Now, I'm not pointing any fingers as to why, but suddenly I'm looking at it and thinking (when I'm not humming along to all the songs there are in it)! I could do that.

So I've started. Not at the begining, because that would be silly. Some might point out that various -other- challenges (the letters one. I forget what fandom it was in, but it was a long time ago, I'm just re-reading at the moment) had bearing on this. Maybe they did.

Title: Words accross the sky (for No5, distance)
Rating/ pairing: none, really. hence G
Summary: Algy writes a letter home. This has a focus on the poor mother of Algy (whom I know nothing about), so some may say it's better suited for 'family'. I say there's a more obvious and better employed answer for family. If you really need the slash, well, read into Frederick what you will. And algy does Have a doting Biggles moment. But it wasn't written as that. pre-pre-slash, maybe?

(Lightly abridged from the entry with full plot summary at my journal here)

Since I've been rediscovering the joy of the way Algy actually has a character in the early books, I thought I'd put the second published Biggles book next on my reading list. I suspect that since it's set in central Brazil, it is sadly unlikely that there will be many squid attacks. (Though who am I to judge? Johnsiverse squid could probably drag themselves over to the Andes using their tentacles alone.) We might be in luck and get some piranhas though...

The Cruise of the Condor (1933)
Very Basic Plot Synopsis: Shortly after the end of WWI, Biggles' eccentric explorer uncle, Dickpa, appeals to Biggles and Algy to help him with an expedition to discover Atahualpa's lost treasure in the depths of darkest Brazil. They, clearly being adrenalin junkies, agree. In their quest they are threatened by greedy rubber moguls, and attacked by crocodiles, natives, waterfalls, condors, giant crabs, and plane-eating ants. It is fifteen different shades of awesome. They discover a lost Incan town, and the lost treasure, but promptly lose it again in a volcanic eruption. Woe. Now, on to the entertainment!
