YULETIDE
I have now been able to read all four of my stories! (I--still don't even know how that happened. YULETIDE, HOW ARE YOU SO AWESOME?) And so far I've been able to leave comments on one of them--I am TRYING for the rest; the website is not letting me--and I wanted to at least start leaving comments before linking to my stories here, SO. Here they are!
They are ALL AWESOME.
In the order in which the notifications appeared in my inbox:
1. Merry-Go-Round, a WALL-E/Battlestar Galactica crossover. Remember when I got the idea for this crossover? This story turned out nothing like that, except possibly in a way for the part about WALL-E's existence making the Battlestar Galactica universe happier. "What has been before does not have to be again." Do not fear the Major Character Death warning! This story is beautiful, and the ending brings me such joy.
2. Who Is I Am, a Calvin and Hobbes story. Summary: "If you're looking at it right, there is little difference between a cardboard box and the universe." Is that not the most awesome summary ever? Well, the story is JUST THAT AWESOME, TOO.
3. We Are Six, a Calvin and Hobbes/Eloise crossover. HOW I HAVE LONGED FOR THIS. And it's perfect! It is absolutely told in the style of the Eloise books, and Eloise and Calvin are marvelous together, exactly as I suspected they would be.
4. 126 (The self); 302.2 (Communication); 305.2 (Age Groups); 306.1 (Subcultures); 306.4 (Sociology of specific aspects of culture); 823 (English fiction); ...173 (Ethics of family relationships), an Unshelved story. AND IS THAT NOT THE MOST PERFECT TITLE, EVER. I get palpitations of joy just looking at it. Okay, Unshelved is a webcomic about a library, its employees, and its patrons. Two of the main characters are Dewey, the young adult librarian, and Merv, this kind of weird twelve-year-old kid who hangs out at the library all the time, even though he claims not to like to read, and hangs out with Dewey, and is kind of an evil genius, and at one point (more than once, actually) dresses up in a superhero costume and called himself The Shusher, to enforce silence in the library--no, really--and I basically asked my yuletide writer, "What the heck is up with that?" AND THEY ANSWERED. AND IT IS PERFECT. (What kills me is, the last time I checked the archive before it opened, my other three fandoms were already listed, and this was NOT. Which makes me think it must have been a Yuletide Madness treat? If so, I am IN AWE, because it really is perfect.)
Um, I hope that none of my writers have a strong aversion to capslock? Because I AM A BIT CAPSLOCKY about my yuletide stories. As you can see!
Comments seem to be working for me now YAY! Back to the archive for me! And then to BED, ZOMG. I don't want to sleep through the Doctor Who Christmas Special tomorrow!
HAPPY YULETIDE, EVERYONE! :-D
