Jilli, if you need someone to bounce ideas off of who is not trying to do their own Yuletide, let me know.
I second this. I meant to do Yuletide this year but missed the sign-up date, so I'd love to help.
You got fired, and you still hang around here like a big loser. Why can't he?

How would you feel if somebody wrote fanfic about your story? 1. Like Norma Rae."They like me...they really like me." 2. Possibly weirded out. "Um, ok, when I made those guys *partners*, I wasn't really thinking that...wacky slashers!" 3. Possibly aroused.

Exactly! If someone wrote fic for something I wrote, I'd throw cartwheels. OMG I've made the big time!

But would that still be true if the fan fic were by, say, the infamous Nikita Writer?

No, but I hope I'd still have my sense of humor.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I'd be all, OMGSQUEE! I have a fan! Of course I know not of this Nikita Writer of whom you speak.

glllrg. The first draft of my Yuletide story has been sent off to my beta readers. I keep thinking I should feel more accomplished and less panicked than I do right now.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
