I have a ton of things I want to say about the Homeland finale, but I'm afraid of being all Miss Negativepants, so I'm thinking about it for a while. In the meantime, meme!!
I've been participating in Yuletide only since 2008. The first couple years I was able to write both my main story and a treat, but the busier I got, the faster that went by the wayside.

Summary:
Ed and Greg have a past to look back on and a future to look forward to.
I really enjoyed getting the chance to write some Ed/Greg slashiness. I don't know that this turned out as well as I wish it had, but it's still a fandom of my heart. It was hard for me to get back in the groove of writing after so long.

Summary:
Who's making mirrorball mischief and ruining Wendy's plans for New Year's Eve?
This is hands down the most popular story I have ever written! Which is odd considering how small the fandom is. I've even had a note from someone involved in the show who told me it read like an episode. There's things I wish I could change, but overall, I love it.

Summary:
After Eindhoven, Winters and Nixon dig in for the night.
This was a treat since I missed grabbing the pinch hit, and I was so glad to be able to write this. I'd had this story already started years ago, but could never finish it. When I went back to it, I realized what was wrong with it, and being able to write it for someone really helped me get hold of what I needed to do and finish it. This is one of those stories you keep in your heart, and you're really proud of.

Ah, I loved writing Justified that first season. I had no idea I'd be Jossed in how I wrapped up Bulletville, but it was such a great opportunity to work on these characters.

Relationships: Jane Cannary/Joanie Stubbs
Characters: Joanie Stubbs, Jane Cannary, Charlie Utter
Summary:
An unusual gift changes everything for Joanie.
I wanted to write Joanie/Jane for years. I was starting to think I'd never get the chance to, and I seem to need challenges right now to motivate me to write. I love them so much. I really had to study up on my language, get back in the feel of writing western speech patterns, and then kind of throw them out the window because Jane is such a unique voice.
