So I finally posted my behemoth of a Yuletide fic, thanks in large part to my two phenomenal betas on this one, thisiszircon, my unimpeachable normal beta who, although she had never watched a single episode of my fandom, was willing to get in there and edit what is, by rights, a novella and ended up contributing huge amounts thanks to an unexpected wealth of ( Read more... )

Dear Yuletide Writer,

Hello!  Firstly, thank you so much for volunteering and doing this.  Yuletide has become one of my favorite things about December, hands down, so every year writing this letter starts out that excitement on the right foot.  I’m extremely excited about all my requests this year, since all of them either deal with fandoms I’ve ( Read more... )

As is SOP at this point, I emerge from beneath my rock for that fantastic time of year known as Yuletide.  For those of you who think I'm referring to a holiday and nothing more, let me assure you that this is not the case.  Yuletide is the fanfiction exchange of the year for anyone who likes rare fandoms, and this year promises to be emphasizing ( Read more... )

 A while back, I wrote a story called "If It had to Perish Twice" for Amatara for Yuletide.  She, being the magnificent creature she is, in turn wrote a coda for the story called "Acquainted with the Night", which was lovely and a really flattering thing to get from someone for whom you've written a story.  In turn, I promised to write her my own ( Read more... )

Here's the second Yuletide fic I wrote: a largeish treat for ladygray99 in the M*A*S*H fandom, and probably the most difficult pairing I've ever had to wrangle, but very enjoyable.  Extremely abortive slash here, as well as discussions of canon character death.

 Here's the final part of my story for Amatara.  Enjoy!

Title: If It had to Perish Twice
Author: Nemo the Everbeing
Rating: PG-13 for general horror, language and some UST
Summary: Some say the world will end in fire, some say in ice. From what I’ve tasted of desire, I hold with those that favor fire. But if it had to perish twice, I think I know ( Read more... )

 Here is the second part of the enormous story I wrote Amatara.  I'm anticipating three parts.  Let's see if livejournal cooperates.

Title: If It had to Perish Twice
Author: Nemo the Everbeing
Rating: PG-13 for general horror, language and some UST

 Here's the first part of the first Yuletide fic I wrote for Amatara, the same lovely reader I got last year.  This is, in some thematic ways, a companion piece to the first story I wrote her, 'And The Devil Makes Three', but is set post-series this time and get a bit more into the slashy aspects of this 'ship.  Enjoy!

 I finally posted my Yuletide fic.  Clocking in at over 15000 words, it ended up being MASSIVE, but I believe that it turned out pretty well.  Hopefully my recipient enjoys it.

Now I'm going to kick back, relax and do as little as possible.  Because my brain?  Fried.

 Boy, this was hard.  In the end, I picked requests I didn't see as much of, rather than more popular pairings and fandoms I still love.  So we'll see how this goes.  Let me get on with the general stuff for all fandoms, and then the specific requests:
