This Yule I wrote Family of Blood and Memories, an October Daye fanfic about... familial relationships around Toby, such as they are. This is a topic which probably deserves a longer fic - several longer fics, but at least about the Luidaeg I don't think I could have written more than I did - a drabble-sized bit was hard enough. I mean. It's the ( Read more... )

 Posted a bunch of my Takarazuka fanfics from last year on AO3. Probably will post newer ones there too. As they're in Russian, there's not much  sense in it except for completeness' sake. But in a way I am trying to be unsocial in fandom - blog things no matter whether anyone is interested in reading them, write fics and not post them/not expect ( Read more... )

First of all, thank you for writing for me. I really love Yuletide (no matter how much I panic around my own writing) and I am sure this year will be as fun as ever.

I had fairly detailed notes in my request, but just in case:

Suddenly I rather want a Parasol Protectorate fic set a hundred years in the future. I mean, with so many immortal-type characters being so fashion-conscious, how would they deal with swinging London? Must ask for Yuletide if I don't forget and if it is still eligible ( Read more... )

I have been participating in Yuletide since its beginning, but it's the second year now that I wrote not just my assignment but also a treat (yes, I know there are people who write several Yuletide treats each year. They're not me ( Read more... )

I suppose there is some sort of a logic in the fact that after watching a musical about Tyrian Persimmon I go and (re)read a book about Francis Crawford of Lymond. I wonder if there was ever any film about Lymond ( Read more... )

Apparently I don't have a Yuletide gift yet. Oh well, three hours to the deadline can bring amazing things (though I'm not sure I ever brought it that close ( Read more... )

Yuletide fic is done. Two people have read it already and neither told me to go kill myself. Yay ( Read more... )

Woe is me, I have a headache and only 123 words of Yuletide story written. And I'm sure it's awful, stupid, and why did I choose this canon, I don't have a grip on the characters and my recipient is going to hate me, waaaaah! *runs off crying*

Actually, it's not even that I lack story ideas. It's that what ideas I have, they aren't properly _story_ ideas. They're fantasies, the kind of stories you tell yourself before going to sleep, or staring into the window during a bus ride. I'm not sure these are transferable into proper story: they are usually a collection of emotionally pleasing ( Read more... )
