Oh, Yuletide! So awesome. I've already found a lovely Miss Pettigrew story, and am now working through a lovely Bone Dance story.
I didn't create the troll. I didn't date the troll. In fact I hate the troll. I helped deflate the troll-- All done.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
OMG, that vid is made of win!
....although the first time the CareBears appear, and the manner in which they appear, made me make unseemly whoops of horrified amusement. I don't think my psyche is ever going to recover from the existence of CareBear porn. Which is funny, because Sesame Street porn didn't break my brain. Hmm. Maybe because it had already been broken. Hmm. Anyway, though - OMG, wonderful!
So far, in my random dips into Yuletide, I have most enjoyed a Black Books story called The Morning After and a rather splendid Barbara Hambly story.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
That was totally awesome.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Yuletide rec:
I know not many people are watching Sons Of Anarchy, but this is one of the more awesome stories evar: [link] (And it's very good even if you're not watching the show - no backstory needed, really.)

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

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
That really is Gemma. She got her dead to rights.

That Bull Durham one is outstanding.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
It may be just my literal years of seeking it out speaking, but that IT Crowd one has, since I first read it, rocketed to the top of my all-time Yuletide chart.
I need to organize my recs. I set up the iPhone with a bookmark to the random 2008 story link, and have been mailing myself the to-rec links all day.
Also, my written story has exceeded my expectations (OMGWTFHOWMANYCOMMENTS?) and I've determined that, again, I managed to lose at least two conjunctions and possibly a preposition when I was rewriting a section at the last second. Oops?
(I did actually finish in time for a Real Actual Beta, but none of the usual suspects were around, and I didn't want to ping a Hippo in IRC. So, umm, I used my good buddy F7.)
