So far, ficathons have been good to me in December. I received an amazing Yuletide fic, in which Loki wakes up to wage Ragnarok during the 21st century and finds things a little odd: There's No Rainbow Bridge Across The Generation Gap. I also received an awesome Serenity/Firefly, Mal/Wash/Zoe fic for 3_ships: Alive and kickingAs for myself, I wrote a RENT

If you're really into the history-esque books, you might want to try Sailing to Sarantium and Lord of Emperors by Guy Gavriel Kay. It's a two-book series based off of the Byzantine empire and Justinian I. They're marvelous reads, and Kay does a wonderful job with the characters.

As a side note, Guy Gavriel Kay helped Christopher Tolkien edit The Silmarillion.

Oooh, I will have to check those out. Thanks for the recommendations. :)

And I liked The Silmarillion (incidentally, one of my Christmas presents either last year or the year before), so that's cool to hear.

Oh, you're very welcome. If you like those, he has quite a few other books. The Fionovar Tapestry (a trilogy) was really good too. There's a bit of Arthurian legend in those. But so far, I like The Sarantine Mosaic the best. :) Guy Gavriel Kay is very good at making you love/hate the characters.
