Look, I wrote a fic!
Now that the Yuletide authors have been revealed, I can say that I wrote
Compensation, The Westing Game. Judge Ford remembers her chess games with Sam Westing, and tries to pay forward some more old debts.
It's only my second or third ever (maybe more, if you count the terrible stuff I wrote when I was 12-15, but it's not really in the same category).
I had a lot of fun writing it, and the recipient really loved it, which felt great. I had so much fun, in fact, that I think I might try to do more fic challenges.
Thanks to my beta-readers, and thanks to all the people out there in internet-land who read and kudoed and commented!
