Dear Yuletide Writer,

It's my tenth Yuletideversary! This challenge is my favorite fandom time of year. I'm thrilled you're here to make my fic dreams come true, and I hope my word-laden squee will not send you running for the hills.

In general...

Yes, please: Found families ( Read more... )

Dear Prime Time Player,

So happy to have you! I'm excited for not_primetime and all the wonderful fic it will no doubt heed, but I'm most excited for the wonderful fic you've offered to write especially for me. I have a nasty habit of going a bit overboard in these letters (I give you Exhibit A), so I'm going to keep things as short and sweet as possible ( Read more... )

Probably should've done this at the turn of the year (but since I didn't do the last one until the end of April, uh... oh well?). Have the AO3 Hit Meme!

I'm doing my first Big Bang, writing my first true AU as the fill, and going with an idea that requires all sorts of research, energy, and extraneous information beyond getting inside a character's head and throwing words at a page. Okay, that last part might be more typical of me. But oh yeah, the rough draft/final push deadlines totally overlap ( Read more... )

...nothing more to explain, I know all that remains, is a piano that plays...

Well not so much a piano, but.

Remix authors are no longer anonymous, so I suppose it's time to claim my efforts.

As far as the pinch hit goes, I got the assignment on Sunday. In fact, I took it without even looking at the author's fic beforehand. (Not something I recommend if you're remixing, by the way. I just really lucked out.) The original plan was to remix Wreckage, a 500 ( Read more... )

I'm sorry, I had to.

Long time no see! Sadly, Real Life has derailed my writing resolutions. Which is tough, since writing has long been my biggest stress reliever. I've been vowing to find time to write something for the last month, and it just hadn't happened until now.

I have always wanted to participate in Remix Redux. I mean, all the titles ( Read more... )

Reveals have happened, so it's that time again! Time for the annual yuletide post-mortem.

Man, I really need to start using this journal for things other than Yuletide.

First and foremost, many, many thanks to the wonderful writers (Siria, MaeveBran, sinesofinsanity, mardia) who made my Yuletide awesome. And a special "I see what you did there" to keerawa, the pinch hit ( Read more... )

I finished something yesterday. Let's all pause to recognize what a feat that is, in and of itself ( Read more... )
