Holiday fic list

[shimotsuki]

mrstater has suggested that it would be fun if people posted links to the fics they've written that have a winter holiday theme. I've only got a few, and they're all Potter (largely because most of the other fandoms I write for have completely different gods!), but here goes:

I missed this post... Now I'm worried that writing too many Christmas cards has glazed my eyes over!

Had any chance to work on your Meta fic, or am I asking a silly question at such a time? ;)

Hi!

I'm grading final exams and so am easily distracted. ;)

Good for you for doing your Christmas cards. I just started mine LAST NIGHT. That's awful.

I started my Meta fic a week or more ago...and then it stalled, heh, but I should have some more time next week. (I get so much fic done on airplanes...) How's yours coming?

[gilpin25]

Well you have very good reason to be running late with cards; I only got my last ones off yesterday and seem to have convinced myself that Christmas really isn't happening for a couple of weeks at least. Not quite sure what happens when the denial wears off!

How's yours coming?

It isn't. Nor are any ideas I like at the moment. I still want your prompts. ;) I'm sat here trying to think of snowman drabbles and being easily distracted, lol.

Did you ever hear anything else from my once favourite student? :(

Oh, dear! I hope inspiration strikes soon (and hard), but that's not easy when there's all the holiday things to do!

I still want your prompts. ;)

I'm keeping them! (lol) I was so disappointed with the "prank" prompt at first, but actually I think it was the best thing that could have happened to my fic as it's made me pull some different ideas in...

Funny you should ask. :( He had until 5pm today to get me something -- anything -- or be in a certain amount of official trouble. It's now 5:25. I'm such a softie that I'm giving him until 6 before I actually input the grade into the system...

I love it when that happens. Hopefully, inspiration will strike for me: mine seem rather serious and I'd decided beforehand to be frivolous. But perhaps it might be fun if I force them to do what I want.

OMG. Come on you idiot. NOT you, obviously! You are giving him every chance over and beyond the call of all duty. And I would like him to turn up at the eleventh hour...

Oh, me too! I keep refreshing my work e-mail...

That might be fun! And sometimes the unexpected takes on the prompts are the most fun to read as well?

[gilpin25]

I take it there was no last minute e-mail appearance... :(

[shimotsuki]

Sadly, no. :(

I submitted his grade as an "Incomplete," which means he can still recover if he gets some work to me within the designated period. But now the clock is ticking; partly I'm hoping that having something a little more official than my finger-wagging will have a salutary effect!
