My First Yuletide and last night's adventure

[thrihyrne]

This was the first year I participated in Yuletide, and I was alerted to my story last night! The writer selected Pullman's His Dark Materials to write for me, so if you're a fan, go here to read "Last Ounce of Courage" written for me. It focuses on Balthamos, which is even better; I'd selected him as one of the characters I would be particularly

Yuletide is great!! I'll definitely participate again next year. I'll have fun looking through the stories, though it is rather daunting. I may write down the primary fandoms I was interested in and see if anyone wrote for them. There seem to have been 11 stories written for HDM this year; not bad!! I'm thrilled there's such a good search engine. ;)

I am very much at peace this morning, and was pretty euphoric last night on my drive home, especially after I'd managed to get out of my parking space!! I've certainly learned a tremendous amount about myself this past year, full of geographic moves and internal terra incognita. I believe that now I have a map and guides.

(((warm hugs to you for your friendship)))

Raccoons are adorable! When I lived in the Woodstock house, we'd see a mother raccoon and three babies wander through the yard in search of food. They are mischievous, though, and will consider pet doors an invitation to come inside. And never, ever give one your car keys.

Glad you got home safely! :-) Merry Christmas!

They are awfully precious, especially when these two stood up on their legs (!!!) right next to each other, then dropped down, both acting in tandem. I don't think I'd trust them to drive, however. ;)

I am safely home! Merry Christmas to you as well!!

Nice new icon, lololol!!!

That sounds like a fabulous gift!

Merry Christmas, love!

[thrihyrne]

It is an incredible gift!! One from the more benevolent powers in the universe, I do believe. ;)

Merry Christmas to you, my beloved. I'm so glad that you're a part of my life, even if it's from a geographic distance.

Hi sweetie!!! Yes, my first Yuletide, and I really loved my story. My recipient said she was brought to tears by my prose, so, yeah! I could get used to reviews like that. ;)

I'm so glad to hear that that one letter did get to you; I know you were in the process of moving, or had moved, and I wasn't sure whether or not you'd received it. I'll very much love to get a package from you, they're always full of lovely things. :D

You want to write me a wee R/D!! ::squee:: Okay. How about prompts of fringe and sandalwood. May I do the same? Give me a prompt and I'll write *you* a R/D drabble. :D

((((massive, grateful hugs))))

Oh, dear heart. This is absolutely gorgeous. You took such a wee prompt and just ran with it! As always, your imagery and workcraft is breathtaking; the short, snappy sentences, Ron's inner thoughts and struggles, their relationship over time encapsulated so poignantly without being overdone or coyly.

Beautiful! I'll be linking to it to share with the other R/D fans on my flist! Thank you so very much!!! ♥
