For yuletide this year, I wrote [Ongoing], an Aaron/Christian Latter Days story based on this prompt from tassosss: "After the curtain falls, Aaron's still going door to door."

I got *two* presents for yuletide this year!

[Straight] is a Bring It On ficlet in which ( Read more... )

I leave in five days. HOLY CRAP. I still need to get something for my office holiday party (white elephant gift, under $25 -- any suggestions?), and something for each of my brothers, one of which won't tell me what he wants or even likes ( Read more... )
