My Yuletide Stories
I wrote nine stories again this Yuletide. All of my pinch hits were picked up after December 12, and most were after December 16.
I was deeply thrilled to get my first choice fandom as my original assignment. Stumped is set on the world Mirabile, from the book of the same name by Janet Kagan.
Untitled is different from anything I've ever written. The fandom is T.S. Eliot's The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock. There are images of WWI in this one.
I volunteered for this pinch hit because I thought I could write something in Cyteen. One of the other choices was a two minute song called "Andrew in Drag." Stricken is "Andrew in Drag" fanfiction. I may write the other prompt as a New Year's Resolution story.
Zaphod Beeblebrox is the centerpiece of Recalibration. I have to thank undauntra for the original spark of idea which was a tremendous help. Once I had something, I could run with it, but she's the one who gave me the something.
Brussels is a case story in the Covert Affairs fandom. I wrote most of it from Auggie's point of view.
I was asked to have a Body in the Library and an Agatha Christie reference for a story in the Lewis fandom. It's just Lewis and Hathaway on a simple case.
I adore The Thin Man movies. I've read the book several times, too. So when I saw a Nick and Nora Charles prompt, I had to put my hand up. Considerably Before the Thin Man is a take on their first meeting. The title was suggested by gileswench who also betaed every single one of these stories. No one should have to beta on such short notice (due to tight deadlines) or in so many disparate fandoms. I love my Twisted Sister.
My first foray into mythology is from Hippolyta's point of view. Queen of Lemnos is one imagining of Hippolyta and Theseus story and courtship.
My very last story was set on the Disc. It's my second time playing in Pratchett's sandbox, and this time Sam and Sybil take A Trip to Lancre to meet Tiffany Aching, Nanny Ogg, and, briefly, Granny Weatherwax.
18,945 words most of them written in under two weeks. I love yuletide.
