Reveals are more than out and I
still haven't read all I wanted to. Oh, Yuletide.
I ended up writing a whole bunch.
The Main EventI had Annakas as my assigned recipient, and we matched on
Rh Plus. The request was great, we shared some favorites...and it took me
forever to get a concept I liked. The first two didn't feel enough like canon to suit me. I ended up focusing on one thing we both had in common: A love of Masakazu and Konoe's stupid competitions. I asked myself, "Self, what's the dumbest thing you can think of for teenage boys to compete over?"
The answer was arm wrestling, and
Too Wise to Woo Peacably was born!
And then I started worrying that the fic wasn't Konoe-centric enough, so I went back to one of my old drafts and realized that I actually had a halfway decent story there. So I wrote
Years Go Falling for annakas too.
And
then I realized that there were only two people who requested Rh Plus this year, and
daegaer didn't have an Rh Plus story, so I wrote
First Taste about Michitaka and Kiyoi.
I also wrote
Sleep on the Left Side for
opalmatrix, because no one else had written a TJ & Amal story yet, and that was a
crime.we make midnight a maquette of the year was for
nyargles, because she wanted Billy and Tommy bonding and I needed to write that so much, I can't even.
Treats!...yeah, I wrote a lot for Yuletide. Felt good, I've been pretty slow/blocked/meh.
Security. is a fake Veridian Dynamics commercial for samalander, from my beloved (and cancelled)
Better Off Ted. I miss that show. Less than a ficlet, I guess, but it was fun! I loved picking out the pictures.
As Yami was a Yuletide fandom, possibly for the first time, I wanted to write
something in it. All I managed was
Craving, for
ranalore.
And one of my favorites this year is
Despite Appearances, a very short fic I wrote from the trailer for
Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters. Yes, I know it's ridiculous! But my recipient,
meinterrupted, saw the trailer in the same way I did, and so I wrote in hopes the movie will be as delightful it looks from that tiny glimpse.
