It's Sunday, and the many denizens of my apartment complex are really outdoing themselves to be as dickish as possible by slamming every door, setting off every dog, gunning every engine/revving every squeaky timing belt, and cranking up every sound bar in the place. I am not feeling mellow about this. (My rage quotient was already elevated. Thanks ( Read more... )

Yuletide reveals! I wrote two stories this year. Both were treats, since I didn't actually sign up for the challenge.

First, I wrote a treat for
