 man defaulting from a fanfiction challenge for the first time ever feels really weird. so sorry, yuletide! but i am just not cut out for fanfiction this year, which i should have realized earlier. i may browse through and see if i can write some treats, but i really just do not seem to have fanfiction mojo. it's a weird feeling!

Life is the best show ever!! So utterly perfect. If it's any consolation with the whole 'coming to the end' thing, its last episode is my favorite last episode of any show ever. No words for how much I love that show.

On the whole Yuletide thing...I hear you. I'm beginning to be afraid I won't be able to do it either, for much the same reasons.

SUCH a good show c: I finished the last three episodes on Sunday and they were just. aghhhhh it was so well done and so beautiful and it was really sad that it was over but it felt like a good end at the same time. Man I want more tv shows made like that.

:( yes it is a sad feeling. I don't really know when I stopped writing fanfiction. It was before I started RPing though I still wrote occasionally, and now I've just sort of... trickled off into not writing it almost at all except the odd sort-of commentfic with friends. IT'S STRANGE. I don't really know how to feel about it!

I'd love more shows like that too! I think the closest I've come is Firefly, in terms of the whole odd, bonded non-related family thing. Not really similar in terms of storytelling though. Let me know if you'd like fic recs of the Charlie/Dani variety!

I've finally got an idea for my Yuletide fic, but now I've only got ten days and three holiday parties to go to in the meantime! Eek. Maybe the writing bug will come back to us both...it's abandoned me before for years a time. There's always hope!

I don't really read fanfiction anymore these days, but perhaps fics of Life would be enough to persuade me! And oh Charlie/Dani 8'D I love Dani/Tidwell a lot but those two are also perfect together idek. Firefly is pretty good for that but I don't think I got quite the same feeling from it.

Oh man good luck! I hope that works out well :)

(Sorry for posting in the wrong place originally, you'd think I'd have learned to use lj by now...)

Thanks for the good wishes! I definitely need them. Eek!

My two very favorite Life fics, both of which are Charlie/Dani while still being kind to Tidwell (I love him too, he's adorable):

Precession, by Spatz - This was my Yuletide gift last year, but I'd love and rec it even if it hadn't been. The voices are dead on, and it's got a lot of Seever, which I appreciate because I love her almost as much as Dani and Charlie.

Seven Veils by anjoufic - Technically this one is unfinished, but it comes to a pretty satisfactory conclusion even so, and it features a lot of different povs of pretty much every major character, which is one of my favorite ways of telling a story.

and thank you for the recs! i will look forward to reading them, they look lovely
