Ring the bells or break out the booze, because we’ve done it one last time. Christmas day with another twelve days of Christmas (hopefully) successfully behind us. I’ve been saying for years I needed to start these things sooner than I have, and I think this year is a personal record ( Read more... )

Here we are at Christmas eve one last time, at least where my work is concerned. Feels a little sad, a little nostalgic, a little what-was-I-thinking on some of these works. I had fears there towards the end of these I was losing my ‘writing voice’, so to speak, but I think everything came out well in the wash with a little proof reading ( Read more... )

Timeline? We don’t need no stinking timeline. And don’t ask me who’s POV this is supposed to be from. I think when I started I was envisioning Zechs but it feels like it morphed along the way. Count this as an AU, but I’m pretty sure we all have a ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas’ fandom version that we either write or that kicks around our heads. ( Read more... )

GW Team assemble! Cue the awesome Disney-Marvel budget level intro screen. One last time I have to thank Merula, lavendarlizard, and t_shirt1x2 for all coming together to help fill enough days to make this thing happen. At least I’m pretty sure that is what I’m seeing in the crystal ball. Things are a little fuzzy, must be a bad connection. While I retune the crystal ( Read more... )

You know what this holiday needs more of this year? Aside from debt forgiveness options that work, present supply that actually meets demand, and same hour delivery for online shopping so you never have to leave your house to fight the horde? Fluff. I figure angst may be a bit too on the nose this year, and risqué is awkward to think about when ( Read more... )

This ficlet came about when some failed Christmas carol rewrites meant for day six met up with the memory of an actual real life event from a few years back. The event Duo describes here more or less happened when the music system at my work malfunctioned early on in the holiday season and had an office full of jovial people ready to riot. And a ( Read more... )

Half way point! This one has a bizarre little back story that I can’t go in to detail about yet because it also pairs directly with day seven ( Read more... )

I’m pretty sure part of the stress of this little tradition I have going is half figuring out the placement of what goes where... Three pictures in the first five days seem a little heavy, but if I spread them out it clogs up the back half… maybe I’m just over thinking it since someone else is doing the actual posting this year and I’m trying to ( Read more... )

I’m not going to beat around the bush on this one and I’m going to flat out say that it is weird. It’s a bit of a deviation from the traditional, but I have this thing for projects. They pop up in my head and I get to chase them over hill and dale until something gets beat into submission. Project buns are like plot buns only somehow significantly ( Read more... )

What did this want to be when it grew up? I have no idea. I started it with the intent of it being funny. Then we got a tad bit of angst coming to the party. And it finishes out... ok look, I think I may have inadvertently drafted a candidate for a Hallmark movie… If they end up cashing in, someone make sure to snag the royalties! As for the title ( Read more... )
