Good work! I don't remember either the SarahK or the golden_bastet story. That's on me, of course. But I tend to agree with you about Doyle. A good example is Arabian Nights, one of the first stories and first zines I read in this fandom. Granted, Doyle is 17 or so and a virgin in the world in general!
I'm a Racing Game fan so I'm glad you read one of them. I liked the characters on screen so the stories work for me.
Cheers, mate!

Yes, I only read parts of Arabian Nights, but it is one of the examples I had in mind.
Sid and Chico are interesting characters. I also liked Dawn's supporting OCs. I forgot to mention that, but I've added it now. My favorite was the cafe girl Aspadril. :D

i really like elmey’s story. It’s one of ths most plausible “first meeting” stories I’ve read. I’m not sure why she classified it as slash, though. If I’m remembering correctly (which I might not be … it’s been a while since I read it) one would have to squint pretty hard to even see it as pre-slash. And the sequel wasn’t slash.

Yes. I always reproduce the author’s categorization when I label a story as slash, het, or gen. Sometimes I add a note like “(per the label)” if I would have described the story differently. I am not sure why I didn’t do that here. I did think as I was typing up that write-up that you have to squint hard to see the slash in Calculus.
