Yuletide and a Merry Christmas!
I've participated in Yuletide for the last three years, and every year I've received a story (last year it was two) that was just exactly what I'd wanted. This year was no exception.
Now, with the plethora of extra stories out there, I'll admit I was hoping for more than one... but, as usual, the one I've received is so good that I couldn't possibly be happier.
Learning
I asked for a story based on Vivian Van Velde’s "Dragonsbait" last year and, this year, discovering that I still wanted it very badly, asked again. My Yuletide author provided exactly the story that I’ve craved for years now - a little slice of Selendrile and something which came after Alys.
Thank you, mystery author, for making my Christmas glow.

I'll be reading and recommending for the next few days (usually quite a few stories at a go) both here and in my writing journal. I wrote six stories myself this year, all over the 1000 word deadline, and one or two of which I'm very proud of.
The archive has 2017 stories were written in 732 different fandoms by 1291 participants. If you're looking for a small fandom story to curl up with (or a few thousand) go on over and indulge yourself. The older parts of the archive will open up after New Year's and the New Year's Resolution stories will be available for writing.
Go. Read.
