I wrote two stories for
yuletide this year: one regular assignment and one pinch hit. Because I am a horribly irresponsible fangirl, I have not read any Yuletide fics except for the ones I beta read and the one written for me. I had shit to do! And a social life! It annoys me when fandom makes me feel guilty for this.
Now that the holiday season is over, I have decided to temporarily stop writing fic for other people and write some fic for myself. In other words, I will have new Johnny/Ben finished very soon.
Anyway. Stories I wrote, in fandoms I had not written before and really enjoyed, and which in both cases were extra difficult because the source material is dauntingly good:
Title:
You Can Get Most Anything You WantFandom: My So-Called Life
Characters: Sharon, Rayanne, and Angela
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 2,484
Summary: One mix tape, a bag of lollipops, and a car that is mostly Sharon's.
