Had to title this with one of my favorite Fiona Gallagher quotes, because yuletide is upon us once again! Every year I have the nagging feeling that I'm due a bad experience, and every year I am proven wrong. This year, I got two amazing gifts. First came my assignment fic...

You guys, you guys, you guys. The not_primetime archive is live today, and my giftfic is a thing of beauty.

Five Times Sara Stood Alone (And One Time Everyone Stood Together)
White Collar, Sara Ellis/Neal Caffrey

This fic, y'all, this fic. It's as if my author read my request (for Sara being awesome, and having agency, and making her past shape her present ( Read more... )

So normally, I have a massive recs list within a day or two of the archive going live. This year, we're less than twelve hours from reveals, and it's going to be a little different. I want to preface this by saying that I have read, enjoyed, and feedbacked countless stories this Yuletide. With this list, I wanted to highlight some of the ones I ( Read more... )

The yuletide archive is live!

A few quick things before I get back to the demanding Dex bunny.

You can pledge a donation via PayPal (or bid on the silent auctions) through the Support Stacie website, and chat with some of the best ( Read more... )

Let me explain. No, is too much. Let me sum up.

Real life sucks right now.

Fandom escapism has been in high demand, just not here (and I apologize, f-listers - I'll catch up as soon as I can). Most of it has been centered on freneticons, the return of the world's best battlestar, and a certain city of the ancients, home to the biggest badass and the ( Read more... )

It has been a Long. Fucking. Week.
