That story was good, but so painful to read.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I'm sorry! I should have warned more.

Fay, I just read your whitefont description, and ... nope, SO not reading it now. (Which is not to say that I was going to ignore everyone else's warnings, it's just that The Velveteen Rabbit makes me cry every damn time, even if I'm just trying to explain the story to someone who's never read it, like Pete.)
I have not had a chance to sit down and really look at what went up for Yuletide! I know there's new Lost Boys fic, and I know there's new Umbrella Academy. I'm hoping for new Addams Family.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
In non-Yuletide news (lovely though Yuletide is), someone took lines from a whole lot of LJ's SGA Storyfinders comm and made a poem out of them. It's terrific and really sums up the whole storyfinders experience. Especially the tiny pig.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Yuletide: Aladdin, after "The End." So much better than Disney ever dreamed. I did sniffle a bit.

God, I'm still crying! But what a perfect example of fanfiction as something genuinely transformative and enriching.

Heh. I did sniffle while reading it. Okay, a few tears. But I was telling someone I knew would understand about it--just "about it", not even quotes, and I choked up. Could not speak. And when I did force out the words, floods of tears came too. Trying to describe it made me realize just how hard it really had hit me.
ETA: It's just been brought to my attention that I appear to be a big old ball o' boohoo today anyway. So maybe factor that into the equation.
