Dear Yuletide Writer,

First off, thank you very much for doing this. I appreciate this more than you can possibly guess. I will appreciate WHATEVER you decide to write, so long as you enjoy writing it. All of what follows is just...additional info, if you need it (or if anyone writing treats is curious).

You've reminded me that I need to get my hands on the Matthew Swift books. Thank you!

[gehayi]

You totally need to. I'd think that you'd love the books.

Oh, by the way...you have GOT to read The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison. It's political intrigue in the Elflands with a sympathetic protagonist. It's not cutesy; in fact, it all comes off as incredibly plausible. The detail is incredible.

I've heard great things. Plus, I seem to remember (thought I might be wrong) that Katherine Addison is a pseudonym for Sarah Monette, whose books I've enjoyed in the past. (I own all four of the Doctrine of Labyrinths, which are an exercise in amazing worldbuilding.)

I'd love to read something well written about Matthew's less explosive sort of day. And I think I'm still sort of in denial about Nabeela's death. Hijab used for covering the gorgon hair was so cool idea.

Ahem, hi! :) I believe we haven't talked before, but I see you have just added my LJ, which had me melting a little into a fannish puddle. I loved your sporking of 50 Shades, the parts with Harry, Thomas and Bob, and your DF/Twilight fic "Thomas Raith Explains It All". And discovering now you're also one of those five or so people into Griffin's Urban Magic is the icing on the cake!

Hi! I just found you yesterday, courtesy of hamsterwoman; she linked to your Tumblr (which was excellent). I really enjoyed your poster breakdowns of what happens per Dresden Files book. You're right; it is easy to lose track of what happened (and when, which is my besetting difficulty). Then I went to your LJ and started reading your meta and decided, "I have to follow this LJ. This is too good."

I loved your sporking of 50 Shades, the parts with Harry, Thomas and Bob, and your DF/Twilight fic "Thomas Raith Explains It All".

Thank you! I'm amazed that you even know who I am! (I keep forgetting that more people have heard of me now because of the 50 Shades sporking.)

Should I post that fic on AO3, do you think? Are you on AO3? If so, what name do you use there?

And discovering now you're also one of those five or so people into Griffin's Urban Magic is the icing on the cake!I love that series so much. It deserves to be far more widely loved than it is! And I am totally in denial about Nabeela's death because that was NOT FAIR. I want the

Yikes! A misunderstanding here - I'm thrilled that you liked my meta things on LJ, but DF posters aren't mine. I mean, I'm not the author, I just reblogged them on my Tumblr (which I have mostly to collect things that aren't on dA) and then shown them to hamsterwoman. I see that in her todays post she already linked directly to the primary source, thankfully. I hate it's so easy to confuse sources on Tumblr, but on the other hand I often link to my own reblogs, because I want to make sure it'll be still there when someone comes and finds such link much later. Sorry for making all this confusion! Well, at least everything on my LJ is actually mine. :)

Should I post that fic on AO3, do you think?Sure, I don't see why not! Granted, it's more a meta fic than fic on its own, so to speak, and I think most of Twilight fandom would need a note about Justine and all, but I think I'm not only one who's disappointed there's only so many fics on AO3 and ff.net that take on the theme of DF White Court vs Twilight sparklepires. Yours is one of very few, and
