I'm borrowing this sub-header thing from thamiris, because this post just got longer and more disjointed.

in which I do not believe what I am told

I don't know why I'm such a doubting Thomasina. Back when everyone started going on about Ocean's 11and how it was so slashy and there should be stories, and then there were stories, I nodded my head and said ( Read more... )

You know how I said that I didn't think anyone would write my Yuletide requests and Adina's Green Ice was such a lovely, utterly wonderful surprise, and then I was surprised and delighted again when elspethdixon wrote January/Shaw?

Now quasar273 has written The Prince's Own, based on The Prince Commands by Andre Norton, which was my third request. Michael Karl, Urlich ( Read more... )

You know how I said that I didn't think anyone would write any of my yuletide requests and adina_atl's Green Ice was such a very cool surprise?

Well, now elspethdixon has written Benjamin January/Abishag Shaw for the NYRs. *happy sigh* My cup runneth over.

Back when I signed up for while we tell of yuletide treasure and made the list of stories I'd like to get, I thought, hey, I can do obscure. And then I did. To be honest, I expected astolat or tzikeh would poke me and tell me I needed to wish for something a bit more reasonable.

But they didn't, and to my utter delight, I got something I'd just dreamed of, ( Read more... )

The evidence suggests that I have started writing in yet another new fandom. I blame merryish (that usually works).

Which is to say that I've updated my site with Lost in space, a Stargate Atlantis story I wrote for the enclosed spaces challenge in sga_flashfic. I didn't think I was a flashfic person, but there you go, live and learn. Also got some new recs in; my ( Read more... )

So, we are no longer anonymous. isilya wrote my cool sesa story, Not Based on a True Story, and adina_atl wrote my cool yuletide story, Green Ice, and if I could make my lj post play a cool trumpet fanfare here, I would!

Side note: I've been saying my yuletide and my sesa interchangeably about the ones I wrote, and the ones written for me, and at this point I'm ( Read more... )

so this is my last rec of 2004: I, Jehudah, and I don't know what to say about it, because it's not - I mean, it's -

See what I mean? Just read it. I'm going out to watch the fireworks. :)

Waste Our Lights In Vain - Romeo and Juliet, only not so much with the Juliet. The language is so beautiful, this story could break my heart with words alone. There is a door inside Mercutio, in the shape of Romeo. It blows with the wind; open and shut, open and shut.

and then, for recovery:

That Tongue Thing - a bit of body-swapping Hitchhiker's ( Read more... )

My yuletide and sesa reading has been a bit scattered-like, and very far from methodical. This is just some stuff I really liked and actually remembered to bookmark.

The French Book - a short, amazing take on Arthurian legend. Lovely and funny and like a wide-open window. And then, as the French book saith, King Arthur and Launcelot were together. ( Read more... )

Thank you, thank you, thank you to my dwnoga santa for Not Based on a True Story and to my yuletide santa for Green Ice! I hope you had as much fun writing the stories as I had reading them ( Read more... )
