At least no one's hacked it yet this year, knock on wood.

Hey, that's the only reason my story ended up getting a beta, last year. Not that it being hacked was a good thing. Just that it worked out well for me.

You know, just looking at some of the comments posted in the yuletide LJ, I would *kill people* if I were running this challenge.

This is why I pretty much never comment on that lj. I try to just do what I said I would do and not cause trouble. Of course, squeaky wheels...

Finished Cartographers Craft.

DAMN that was good. Sam Starbuck is my master now.

Is it wrong of me to be all giddy because shalott left a nice review for my Yuletide story?

You have every right to be giddified

Hell no! You rock! Go you!

Whee! I got a couple recs! I mean, not from shalott or anything, but still. I'm such a praise whore.

To cereal, because I'm in Michigan and thus won't get much chance to post for a few days:

You know, I try really hard on my yuletide stories, and I think I do okay, but then when I get the stories written for me, I'm blown away by how good some of the writing is. I really get the better part of this deal.

Well done, love! I'm thoroughly enjoying pottering through the stories in the archive - at least those whose source materials I know a little. There's some lovely stuff there. Can't wait to find out which ones you folks wrote!

For my part I didn't sign up for the challenge, but I'm thoroughly looking forward to the New Years Resolution Challenge, which is almost as much fun and has no pesky timeline.

Friendly note to person on my friendslist:

"Nobody wrote my preferred pairing in my favored fandoms" != "Everybody hates cunt" [her phrasing, not mine.]

Also? " YOU BITCHES HATE WOMEN!" not really conducive to encouraging more female/female pairings.

Was this person bitching about Yuletide, or fanfiction in general?
