I have only read an infinitesimal number of Yuletide fics so far, all in the As - aside from my own brilliant gifts which I can never ever glee about enough (Which World and Brush Contact, guys! I will fangirl until the COWS COME HOME). I regret this especially because there were a few of your fics I wonder if I would have been able to guess if I

OSDIHJOSDIHSODh. I totally recced that Homeward Bounders fic because OMG I loved it. It made me giggle and smile and generally fangirl it.

I had no idea it was you. THOUGH I SHOULD HAVE, now that I think about it!

[bookelfe]

*cracks up* I SAW YOUR REC and it made me full of glee! THANK YOU - I am so glad you liked it. (Every fandom needs at least one ridiculous Harry Potter crossover, right . . .? OR MORE THAN ONE *helpful hint*)

Oh the Jamie story is brilliant. Did you see the amazing Rupert and Maree story that I got?

Yuletide is so awesome and there's just so much awesome that I'm still reading it all.

[bookelfe]

Haha, thank you!

Not only did I see it - I beta'ed it! :D Your author wrote my Yuletide story last year; she is on my flist and she is made of 100% awesome. I have not yet read the completed version, though!

[ceitfianna]

Ooh, I've linked it a few times on my journal if you want a read of it.

So utterly wonderful and hee, I'm not surprised that she's on your flist.

I ended up writing for a fandom that I've never written for before.

[bookelfe]

Me too! That's always a ton of fun, I think - getting to write things you never thought of before is one of the most awesome parts of Yuletide for me.

Becccccccaaaaaaaaaa... your Baccano(!) fic makes me gleeeeeeeeeeeful. ^______^ That was utter awesomeness, I'll have you know.

Though, when I saw the mention of severed fingers, I totally thought there'd be Claire in it. *eyes him*

*from safe distance of three or four worlds over*

[bookelfe]

You are very, very wise (and perhaps that is the reason I did not feel I could include him! He is NOT a safe person to have in one's head. @_@) But yay! I am so glad you like it. *giggling*

And it just wouldn't be a Baccano! fic without someone losing some fingers.

[blacksheep91]

I am going to watch Baccano! so I can properly judge the skill of your writing.

[bookelfe]

I am excited to hear what you think, both of the show and of the fic! :D

So, one year later, I am a) trying to be less of a lurker/generally nonexistent fan and b) cracking up at the fact that you know TL. Ohhh, the universe, it is tiny.

I had no idea that you picked me up as a pinch-hit! Although, now it kind of makes more sense why I ended up with three fics last year.... Anyway, amused and impressed am I; thank you again!

What on earth was your thesis? I'm so curious now.

[bookelfe]

HEE. Tiny universe indeed - I had no idea you knew TL!

And you are very welcome again - I was super pleased to get a chance to grab your pinch-hit, it was huge amounts of fun for me to write.

I wrote my thesis on cross-dressing girls and coming of age in YA! This was basically an excuse for me to babble about books I loved as a kid at great length. LEAST ACADEMIC THESIS EVER.

[kindness_says]

...Did this post cause you to visit me and then comment on my fic? or was that a bizarrouniverse coincidence again?

I didn't know TL at the time! I do now. And Lexie, because the fandom that I wrote in this year that you just commented on came into my life via her, basically.

Oooooooooooooooooooh, that's cool. Nice icon. MULAN!! La la laaa, ooh, maybe I will go shower to Disney musiccc.

[bookelfe]

Believe it or not, it was actually a bizarrouniverse coincidence! I've just started a reverse-alphabetical proper trawl through the archive, and the Ys were up today. I totally laughed when I realized I'd coincidentally gotten to yours on the same day you commented, though . . .

TL and Lexie are both extremely awesome people, so I am glad. :D Hah, yeah, I wouldn't know enough to have read it if it weren't for Lexie evangelizing either. She's very convincing!

The biggest problem with writing my thesis on the Alanna books is that people kept stealing my primary sources. I was like, yes, I am glad you are having fun reading them, but I SORT OF NEED THEM. (There is no better music to shower to than Disney, obviously.)
