Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Always Anti-fascist!

I'm kind of excited. Somebody just invited me to nominate my fic for an award. It's a first for me. Which one should I pick?

I'm fairly certain that my yuletide Secret Santee is not a Buffista.

So, is there anyone out there who would feel comfortable beta-reading a story set in the "Fables" universe? I won't have anything ready to send for crit for another few days, but I thought I'd start asking around now.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

Anne, I've been reading Fables and I'd be glad to help.

eta: also not involved with the yuletide secret santa.

How far are you along in the series, BTW?

Somewhere in the 80s or 90s, chapter-wise, due to lack of time. Totally want to catch up once I'm done with Yuletide.

Aha. You've yet to get to my favorite chapters, then.

Dear heavens. One of my yuletide buddies got stuck with a request for a happy PWP. With mpreg.

I've had some challenge assignments that rivalled this.

Me, I've broken the 1000 word minimum for Yuletide, yet am freaking out like whoa. Mostly because I feel like I'm writing something boring.

That's pretty much my situation as of 10:00 last night. You'd think that writing something for "Fables" would be a cinch for someone who majored in children's lit, but no. The story keepst turning into an essay. I have a feeling that only 400 or so of my 1,000 words are salvageable.
