Wonderful things:
1) My recipient appears to love her story.
2) I LOVE MY STORY. It's Sunshine, and it's called
Hands and Heart, and it's fantastic.
3) I wrote stockingstuffer fic. It doesn't stink donkeyballs. Probably.
4) I have been on a Yuletide bender. I ended up opening every single file that had one comment or less in every fandom I recognized and started reading. By fic number thirty, I took a break and decided I couldn't read any Kushiel's Whomever Fic after all, but I did it, and read some good-to-great stuff along the way.
Not-wonderful:
I am a putz who forgot to maintain a recs list while on reading bender. FYI, there is an awesome Scrubs fic out there. And some good Heroes stuff. Maybe later. When I get my eyesight back.
