Yuletide Reveal
Now that we're all revealed, I can take credit for my five stories (3 Yuletide, 2 Madness) ! Even better, I can start responding to comments, which makes me happy.
Part I - My initial assignment - Staying Even, a fanfic for the Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew TV show. The show is pretty campy but entertaining (how can you not love episodes like the one where they meet Dracula (played by Lorne Greene) but differs from the books' continuity, which is what I normally write. Also, there's still chemistry between Nancy and Frank Hardy, but it's more along the lines of "either they fall madly in love or kill each other" chemistry. The request was for a little case-solving where Nancy gets to NOT be a damsel in distress. It seems to have worked, although it has waaaay less comments than hits. (Gift for philote_auctor )
Part II - My pinch hit - Dreams of Hope, a fanfic for the Dungeons and Dragons cartoon (DDC). I was looking at this one with interest when doing some letter-stalking, and then managed to grab it for a pinch hit. It's for a pairing not usually done in fanfic, and I think it works out pretty well. (I think it also made me a confirmed Eric/Sheila fan) It's mostly sweet and fluffy, with some deeper notes.

Part III - A treat (better known as, This Is Your Brain When You Mainline Canon) - The Quality of Mercy, another DDC fanfic. It plays off one of the best known episodes of the series, The Dragons' Graveyard, in which the kids try to take a pretty unprecedented step in 80s cartoons - permanently do away with the enemy.

Part IV - Madness Ficlet One - Thoughts on Going Home, a Masters of the Universe ficlet. It assumes a future when Adora is free to return to Eternia, and that all may not be well. (Gift for Pervyficgirl (not on LJ)
Part V - Madness Ficlet Two - Choices, a DDC ficlet that was sort of a remnant from canon-mainlining. It deals with the (unaired) final episode in which the kids get the choice to go home, focused on Eric. (Gift for astolat )
