wherein Liz inflicts stream-of-consciousness rambling upon the internet at large

Since returning to Ithaca, I somehow managed to get my sleep schedule fucked up, which has been messing with my ability to face sorting through the Yuletide archive. (Making and acting on decisions is hard, yo, and one of the first things to go when I am tired. Which also contributes to my tiredness, since after a certain point I can't make and ( Read more... )

I forget whether you've read Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell, but there are a couple of really good Yuletide fics written for that fandom. One is "A Necklace of Broken Promises and Regrets" (which is sadly by an anonymous author, so I can't look up his/her other stuff), and the other is by lmeden/incandescent (I beta'd it, and I've been meaning to ask her whether she's posted the final version yet). Both are definitely worth a read.

There's also various fics from the FrostIron Fest, which is sort of like Yuletide but exclusively for the FrostIron pairing, if you're into that.

I have indeed read (and in fact, own a copy of) Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, but I had not yet gotten around to seeing if there were Yuletide fics for it -- as I said, I have hardly begun going through the collections this year. I am glad to hear there are some good stories out there. :-)

If FrostIron is Loki/Tony Stark from the Marvel movies, then I am not even neutral on the pairing -- I have actual negative interest in reading about them together, regardless of the surrounding plot. (My ship is really, really not your ship... and that's okay!)

I was happy to see that there's JS+MN fic too--it's one of my favorite books ever, right up there with American Gods and A Storm of Swords.

Yes, FrostIron is Tony/Loki--the Marvel fandom seems to be big on creating cool/funny/cute names for pairings. (Which reminds me of a comment someone made about the Star Trek fandom: "I think we've shown remarkable restraint in referring to the Spock/Kirk pairing as Spirk and not Kock." LOL.)
