It's kind of unfortunate that I can't tell which fic was written by my original Yuletide author and which were written by people who just saw the prompts and liked them! But clearly the prompt I had for Disney Princesses struck a chord, because I received three - three! - fics for it, as well as one for Skip Beat. They're all really fun, but " ( Read more... )

My challenge this year (er, last year) was to read one new-to-me book every week - the book didn't have to be new, but I wasn't allowed to have read it before. In the end, I'm only one book short of my goal of 52 books.

TOTALLY AWESOME fics to come out of this year's Yuletide (not counting the ones I wrote, obviously).

My family may be beginning to have grave doubts about my ( Read more... )

Fuck yes I've already completed the first draft of my Yuletide fic! Now I just need to come up with a title that doesn't suck and edit out the slight intellific feel it has and I'll be done. Hopefully that means I can stop writing shit like this with my excess energy and force myself to write all the stuff I have on the backburner. Stuff which will ( Read more... )
