Catching up on Yuletide

I can't say that I really make New Years resolutions, but I would like to take more of an active part in DW/LJ this year. So I thought I'd start with Yuletide.

This year I was very spoiled with two wonderful stories:

Zo (1172 words) by lalejandra
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Woman on the Edge of Time
Rating: Not Rated
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Original Character
Additional Tags: Depression, Time Travel, Pre-Canon
Summary: In Woman on the Edge of Time, the future seems so glorious, yet there are always people who fall into cracks. This takes place before the book starts.

If you haven't read this novel I really do recommend it. Marge Piercy creates a truly fascinating future world and explores issues of race, gender, environmentalism, etc. I've been requesting it as long as I've been doing Yuletide, and this year I got it at last. Yay! It's a very well done story that perfectly captures the universe while also questioning some of its assumptions.

Running Off to See (100 words) by rabidsamfan
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Sense and Sensibility (1995)
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Margaret Dashwood
Additional Tags: Drabble, yumadrin
Summary: Margaret wants to know the whole wide world.

After rewatching this movie earlier this year, I really wanted Margaret to have her adventures. And in this story she does!

Brooklyn Nine-Nine is far and away my favorite new show of the season (note to self: write more about that later), and I was very happy to be assigned it for Yuletide.

It's Ladies Night (and the Feeling's Right) (6984 words) by Lenore
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Brooklyn Nine-Nine (TV)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Rosa Diaz/Amy Santiago
Characters: Rosa Diaz, Amy Santiago, Jake Peralta, Ray Holt, Gina Linetti, Charles Boyle, Terry Jeffords, Scully (Brooklyn Nine-Nine), Hitchcock (Brooklyn Nine-Nine)
Additional Tags: Case Fic, Humor, Hypnotism, Kissing
Summary: There's a Hypnotist Bandit on the loose. Rosa and Amy take him down-but not without some misadventures.

I also did a pinch hit for the Hockey RPF Holiday Exchange which I'll post when I have more time. Happy New Year, everyone!
