Measured Words

TA DAHHHHHHH!

Yuuuuletiiiiiiiiide!

So! I actually managed to write a fair amount this year – more than I'd expected, in any case! I got extra betas for everything, but as usual naryrising provided constant encouragement, handholding, and initial SPAG assessment. Well, for almost everything....

( Assignment: Return to Night, Since We Must Part, Drown Night for Naraht )

After finishing that beast, I actually managed to score two(!) pinch hits! I didn't know the recips in either case there, so there was somewhat less pressure. I am quite happy with both stories.

( Pinch Hit #1: Arkham Horror – Encounters at the Witch House for barometry )

( Pinch Hit #2: Othello – Girl Talk for afewreelthoughts )

( Treat #1: Books of the Raksura – Claimed, for Nary )

( Madness Treat #1: MST3K/Ghost Soup Infidel Red – Robots Crying on Beds for Elfwreck )

( Madness Treat #2; Drabble #1: Arkham Horror – Sweet Harmony for Lirillith )

( Madness Treat #3; Drabble #2: Hark! A Vagrant! – Infidelity for afterism )

And that was my yuletide! I kind of feel like there may have been something else, but it has been completely wiped from my mind...

I am always so excited and delighted with the things that Yuletide produces!

This year I got two gifts - one in each collection. Both are character sketches of Shirley Wilson from In The Flesh. I knew I could trust the rest of the fandom to ask for lots of fic for the main characters/pairings, but I am a lover of minor characters, and I love Shirley. She's so earnest and well intentioned even if she is not always the absolutely most competent.

Anyway! ( My gifts! )

I also have a pile of other recs I've accumulated - I am going to group them into two sections: one that are fics I have stumbled across on my own or have been recced to me informally, and then a second batch that are re-recs I've found from more formal sources (recs posts, the recs collection, and such) but that I endorse completely!

( Group one - Independently Discovered awesomeness! )

( Group two - Rec Corroborations! )
