Yuletide reveal and my year in fandom
I had a successful Yuletide, I think -- I received a really neat story for the fandom I was really not expecting to get:
Siempre Cambiando, Nunca Cambiando (9402 words) by
Llwyden ferch Gyfrinach
Fandom: Hotel California - Fandom
Rating: Mature
Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: The Narrator, The Woman, The Captain, the Nightman
Summary:
"...Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year
You can find it here..."
I asked for horror in my request, but sort of figured that anyone who was going to write the prompt would end up going for comedy instead. But Llwyden didn't! And the result was amazing!

ellia:
Let our weakness speak (2303 words) by
Vaznetti
Fandom: Spooks | MI-5
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Harry Pearce, Ruth Evershed
Summary:
There is no life outside the Grid. (Harry and Ruth, post season 9)
I was really happy to get the prompt I did; it was something I had been thinking about anyway. It ended up being more of a rush job than it should have been, but I think it turned out all right in the end. A few people read it and liked it, and that's always nice.
This brings my total for 2010 up to two stories! The other was also a new fandom -- and a rather intimidating one, because I am just never going to be up on Who canon, even recent canon:
In the blank space between the trenches (G, River Song, spoilers for 5x13).
Oddly, neither was a crossover, although there ought to be lots and lots of crossovers with River Song in them. Perhaps there should also be lots of crossovers with Harry and Ruth in them, as well. I started a story about Ruth and Arvin Sloane, earlier in the season.

Other than that, I'm not sure I had a year in fandom -- I certainly don't have "a fandom" and am not sure when I'll be getting one. I find it hard to participate when I'm not watching the US shows at the same time as the majority of my flist -- I don't see the point of writing up comments, and I don't want to go hunt down what other people have said when I can read them safely. And yet I really, really hate to watch downloaded tv -- even if I go ahead and acquire an episode, I won't watch it. But by the time I have anything to say about the British shows, their season is over! And in general, if I do have anything to say about them, I can say it to my husband -- and I have very little faith that if I did write episode comments, anyone would read them. I just don't have the sense that any of the people still reading this journal care that much.
Sorry, that came out sort of weird. On the positive side, Primeval is coming back tonight! And as far as I can tell from the ads on tv, they seem to have got rid of most of the stuff I didn't like about the last season.
