December and fandom
I have been lax about posting here.
This December has been awesome.
Star Wars came out. I love it. And, although it's our last scenes with Carrie Fisher playing Leia...they were OH, so good. I am content.
The last episode of Doctor Who with Peter Capaldi aired. It was a LOVELY farewell to so many things I've loved from this era...Moffat's writing, Capaldis' Doctor, Bill, a kind of storytelling and sense of history I adore, kisses with history. Yeah. Again, I am content.
The story I wrote for Yuletide has been well-received, and I am CHUFFED to bits; I thought no one would read it other than a few friends and the recipient; it's...an odd piece.
The story I GOT for Yuletide from my wonderful writer is...a THING OF BEAUTY. It is a wonderful love letter...to fandom, to Early Edition, to fanfic, to our combined efforts to keep alive stories we hold dear. ....And then it's a great story on TOP of that! I mean...Toni and Gary...an AU that lets us see them doing new stuff...it's JOYFUL. Pilot Project. DO read it!
THEN there is a story that
oldtoadwoman wrote for me for Christmas! It's also Early Edition...but is a crossover with The Dead Zone, AND it's a love letter to Chicago, to the oddness and wonderful eccentricities of our city...and it has the BEST narrative style. I LOVE it. The Storm Comes on Little Cat Feet. You don't need to know the shows to enjoy it. Truly.
In RL, my Husband won Christmas and got SWORDS for our children. I got to go to Germany last month for Christmas, so that was FANTASTIC. This entry was cross-posted at https://amilyn.dreamwidth.org/841483.html.
