Someone remind me that I'm not a loser even though I only wrote one yuletide story.
I'm at my parents' house! I'm sick! I had six Christmas concerts! No spare time!
A ghost? What's the deal? Is every frat on this campus haunted? And if so, why do people keep coming to these parties, cause it's not the snacks.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I have "only" written two. But, I'm unencumbered by a schedule at present, and intended to write five. (I still could! Honest!)

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
I tried to pick up PH's, but they were always gone by the time I emailed. I'm just glad I got my one story in on time. And now I can't wait for the archives to go live! It's going to be so late for me, comparatively. I have to cultivate patience.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I only got one done, although I'm trying to get something else finished, as well.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I finished my original one, finished a pinch hit, and am now feeling an odd sort of pressure to write a Yuletide Treat.
What the hell is wrong with me?

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
If I hadn't been struck by a cold today, I think I'd have written a treat. (It was simmering in my head in a nice, simmering fashion.)
If I feel better in the morning, I still might.

It's funny how extra-special-neurotic you can get while Waiting For Your Yuletide Recipient To Comment when you're only randomly receiving comment notification e-mails. I mean, I'm still waiting, but at least now I know that I need to check the story comment pages every once in while.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I have the comment page open for both of my stories, and hit refresh each time I finish reading a story.
By which I mean, I feel your pain (neither recipient has yet commented)

I've heard from one of my recipients! And I wouldn't be worried about the other, except she's posted to her LJ since the archive went live and didn't mention anywhere that she'd be away, and it's a tiny, tiny fandom that may five people will read.
I'll be patient. It's not like the archive's even been open that long!

It's nice to know that other people do the same thing.
Does anyone else wade through recs posts and feel their ego getting crushed bit by snivelling bit as their stories refuse to show up in anyone's recs?
