I just got home from a sleepover New Year's party, so I'm not up to date on the Yuletide author reveal madness.

My own reveal first: I wrote one full length story and two drabbles in a total of two different fandoms. The full-length, written for MagnoliaMama, was "The Name of the Stars and the Moons," a story about Zabira in Guy Gavriel Kay's ( Read more... )

Some of these have been sitting in my bookmarks for a while, so I'll try to mention the new stuff first.

* Wyrding Studios is having an end-of-year clearance sale! I have my eye on Skylit Revisited #6, a gorgeous choker-style necklace; but I don't really need to spend $50 on a necklace when I hardly wear the jewelry I already own, so someone else ( Read more... )

I forced myself to eat brunch this morning before reading Yuletide, and oh, my gift was absolutely gorgeous and wonderful and perfect. Brandin/Dianora from Guy Gavriel Kay's Tigana, a pairing that I adore and that can never have a happy ending--but this is a plausible "missing scene" and oh, just go read it. I can't wait for the author reveal, ( Read more... )

Yuletide is due in exactly 10 days, and I haven't written a single word yet. Nor have I even finished rereading the book, although I think I have enough of a refresher to write on. Strangely, I am not yet in panic mode, probably because I'm panicking about other nearer things. And last year, I wrote my fic in two sittings three days before the ( Read more... )

Most of these--and all the ones by people I know, except for "The Last Siren's Song"--were bookmarked before the author reveal. I'm amazed by all the amazing writers on my flist! Stories are alphabetized by fandom. Those marked with a star are suitable even for those with no prior knowledge of the fandom.

My gift fic, By My Signale, is gorgeous and lovely and true to canon and oh, I don't know what else to say. I've done a first read-through, mostly of my favorite fandoms; Jacqueline Carey's Kushiel series and Ellen Kushner's Swordspoint series are well-represented in particular, with some wonderful stories. Alas, no one wrote for Guy Gavriel Kay's ( Read more... )

I just finished drafting my Yuletide story. It's four scenes and barely 1k long. Plotless, too. But the recipient requested R-rated fluff, so I hope I don't disappoint too badly. Off to officially submit! (10-second ETA: Blah, I don't have a title. Le sigh.) Betas, you say? I know not.

Expect a bunch of posts end of this week/beginning of next week ( Read more... )

Dear Yuletide Santa:

By now you might have noticed that I left the details of my requests blank. Because I don't want to put any pressure on you--my tastes are extremely broad and I'll love whatever you write. Honest.

Anything from G to NC-17 is fine with me; I don't have a preference or issue either way. If it's possible, I'd like you to stick to ( Read more... )
