Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

"Somewhere in this building is our talent." Toby Ziegler, my spirit animal

Kind of having delayed Yuletide anxiety...it seemed fine while I was writing it, but what if she doesn't think this is funny? I thought it was funny, but, as life tells me over and over, I'm a freak. And a chimp with the Tech...what if I never get it uploaded properly? And I have stupid hair.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

In reverse order:

1) You hair is fine.

2) You are not a freak. You are a geek, scary smart, and a very funny writer, but you are not a freak.

3) Continuing with the fine writer meme, even before I reading it I know it will be funny. Heck you made me appreciate Entourage. If the person you are writing for doesn't appreciate that will be a due to flaws in her taste, not your writing.

Well, considering you've never seen all the gorgeous extras, number three is probably a point in my favor, as I can't just say it's all the tits.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore

Okay, the Official Yuletide Polar Bears of OMGWTFBBQ are officially circling. And they look hungry.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I can sympathize. I did not sign up, but somewhere along the line I picked up a pinch hit. I'm starting to wonder why I did this.

Hungry, hungry bears!

I don't need plot, right?

Ugh, I seem to have plot whether I like it or not. Also, research. Also, I am snowed in at a different house than 4/5 of my source material. AUGH.

You guys have all my sympathy. I just posted my fic for the Kirk/McCoy advent community on LJ. 17,000 words since Nov. 30th. I didn't think I had it in me.
