Welcome to 2011!

There's something weird about that year. Weird in a good way. 11 is so Edwardian. It's also my favorite number. Hopefully that will make for a lucky year

Thanks for writing an awesome story!:-)

Happy New Year! You've inspired me to do Yuletide next year, btw! I love the stories!! and I wish I had some hot spiked apple cider right about now. Or at least some coffee with Bailey's in it. I can't get warm and there's not even slush on the ground!

[sistermagpie]

I'm happy to have been inspiring--it was a whole new thing for me. The apple cider was really good. I can't encourage any Bailey's drinking, unfortunately. Bailey's and I had an unfortunate night back in college and have never spoken since, if you know what I mean.

[ava_jamison]

I think I do. Oh, that would not be good. I could never, ever drink it straight.

Happy belated New Year!
I can't tell you how delighted I was with your version of Fitcher's bird (it's my favourite fairy tale ever since I hit adulthood) which I much prefer to its better known version. It's such a perfect image (picture?) of patriarchal society and creepy as hell at the same time. What is to be said about a husband who cannot distinguish his wife from a ornate corpse? Just like Hoffmann who doesn't realize he's dancing with an animated automaton...

Oh, and I never even knew there WAS fanfiction about Back to the Future! Nowadays, of course, anything gets its own fandom, but Marty McFly practically originates in the Stone Age (meaning when I was young, LOL). So thanks an extra lot for that.

[sistermagpie]

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it--so great to find another Fitcher's Bird fan.

And I'm glad you liked the BttF fic--that's the whole thing with Yuletide I guess, you get stories for stuff that don't really have fandoms. (At least I think--for all I know there's a big fandom for BttF!) But I really like that story so I'm happy to spread it around.:-)

STAY SAFE IN THE SNOWPOCALYPSE. I fret so for my Americans.

[sistermagpie]

I got this this year--I got actual snow boots!

OMG I love Fitcher's Bride (far superior to the Perrault) and a jazz age setting is awesome beyond belief. (Although I do have a soft spot for Greg Frost's sort-of Seventh-Day Adventist bluebeard type, lol.)

[sistermagpie]

I think I've heard of that version and definitely want to read that one.
