Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb

My Star Trek Big Bang: Wanderers Far At Sea (Kirk/McCoy, Spock/Uhura, Spike, assorted Old Ones, a Very Special Guest, Joanna McCoy)

Jim has kept one part of his life a complete secret from his best friend Bones, but now it appears the bizarre occurrences happening to Joanna McCoy may force him to reveal things to Bones that will either sunder their friendship forever or bring them closer together than either had ever expected. Can Bones trust Jim with Joanna's life, when he's been lied to by his best friend about his very nature? STXI/Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel the Series fusion.

I stayed up all night to finish the thing and get it posted. I have to be at work in an hour and fifteen minutes. ::staggers to the shower::

Always Anti-fascist!

Just by accident, reading Little_details on lj, I found out somebody's writing a new H:LOTS fanfic about Kay...and there was a resident online to describe how she got shot through the heart and continued to live and be awesome(no word on the great hair, alas) Fandom: this job ain't got nothin' to do with life.

If you're in the mood for micro-bursts of creativity, there's a three-sentence fic meme going on right now: [link]

It's kind of awesome.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I am officially panicking about Yuletide.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I don't suppose the prompt you picked would allow for a fusion with The Shining and make for the obvious solution to meeting word count?

Because books.

I got notifications that I got two different Yuletide stories! That's awesome! But ... I thought everybody just got one?

It depends. Your author could have written you more than one. Your original author could have defaulted but still managed to get a story posted, and you got a pinch hit written. Or someone could have seen a prompt they liked on the Yuletide Madness list (where all prompts are thrown open to everyone) and written a story for it.

One year my author defaulted, and I got like 5 stories.

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

I've started (slowly) browsing the Yuletide archive, and found a story that may be of interest to many of you:

Scenes from a Cultural Exchange, or the Muppets Take New Burbage

Yes, it's a Muppet Show/Slings and Arrows crossover. The character interactions are glorious.
