Hello, author! I am super excited for Yuletide, and I hope you are too, because we've already established that you have excellent taste in media.

( the rest is under a cut )

Let me mention my giftfic again real quick first: A Pain in My SideKICK (The Non-Adventures of Wonderella) and Nonstarter (By the Sword), both by leidolette who is apparently a stellar human being. They're awesome.

Here is what I wrote:

I actually made it through the archives before reveals this year!It is because I was writing a paper, so I was on my laptop and procrastinating.

I figured I'd do quick recs, so here are 17 fics in 15 fandoms

( Black Books, Brick, By the Sword, DC Comics, Discworld, Gallifrey, Hark! A Vagrant, Hobbes and Bacon, Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell, Journey to the West, Lackadaisy, Master Li and Number Ten Ox, The Non-Adventures of Wonderella, Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio, The Thick of It )

I got a treat fic! Someone wrote me By the Sword fic, which, I don't want to be hyperbolic here, but it is nearly the best thing that has happened to me so far. It looks like the person who wrote it watched BtS after reading my Yuletide letter, which is totally rad. I am spreading this gospel, guys.

And also Christmas. But let's talk about the important things, shall we?

This Yuletide I got Wonderella fic! Wonderella is an awesome webcomic, nominally a parody of wonder Woman, but mostly a parody of superhero comics in general. As I said in my letter, it speaks to my terrible cynical heart - Wonderella is a hard-drinking, hard-partying, ( Read more... )

Hey, peeps! I am looking for a yuletide beta. Mostly for grammar/style/coherence, since I'm fairly knowledgeable about the source. I'd be happy to trade betas as long as you can get me your fic by the 17th ( Read more... )

So I heard people got their assignments today? I got mine, and it's pretty good - I matched on a fandom that I'm now not as sure I should have offered, haha, but I've already got some ideas, and I know two of the other three fandoms (though I didn't offer them), so I think it'll be okay. My first year I wrote Gallifrey (totally a gimme, especially ( Read more... )

Hello, author! I am super excited for Yuletide, and I hope you are too, because we've already established that you have excellent taste in movies/webcomics/scientists.
( cut! )

Really not ready to do a Yuletide sign-up or Dear Author letter yet, but I just wanted to say that I'm def requesting By the Sword this year, so if you're one of the people on my flist who I got to watch it and you're planning on signing up for Yuletide, maybe you would consider offering that fandom? Because I'm not sure if anyone else has seen BtS ( Read more... )

This is an annotation/commentary for Chai! or, the Unhappy Cafe and also for Personal Narrative, which are about Richard Francis Burton. It's meant to be read after those fics, though if you want a bunch of random history and opinions you can probably read this anyway!
