Happy Canadian Thanksgiving Day to all my dSC6D friends, all Canadaphiles, and of course all Canadians. Again this year the due South Canadian Six Degrees Big Bang has gone live on Canadian Thanksgiving Day, and you can see all the fanworks for it here:

dSC6D Big Bang 2019 on AO3.

For this year's due South Canadian Six Degrees Big Bang mific wrote and illustrated a wonderful F/K fic of adventure, danger and romance titled
In Which Ray and Fraser Go in Search of the Hand of Franklin ; I wrote a complementary piece for it titled Twelve Questing Pieces. Both of these fics are rated mature-to-explicit and with no applicable archive warnings.

Mific's 25,325-word work will appeal to a wide readership while I expect that my 1,121-word work -- being both poetry and unconventional format -- will have a rather limited readership. The unconventionality is that for each of the twelve chapters of the original fic I wrote a chapter in a poetry form, selecting and arranging them chapter by chapter in a specific order to create an acrostic that spells out FRANKLIN HAND. To see how that works, read down the initial letters of the twelve poetry forms that correspond in order to the twelve chapters:
