We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I have a RIDICULOUS number of tabs open, to like twenty different Yuletide fandoms.

Dragons in Prohibition Chicago! Sports Night on Quidditch! Muppets at New Burbage! Scheming lawyers! Bronte Sisters! Jirel of Joiry! (Seriously: someone wrote Jirel of Joiry fic!)

I wish I didn't have to work tomorrow. My boss is out: possibly nobody would notice...

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I need to read more Yuletide.

Clearly. I have some open to read! I've read a lot of Community, all the Cabin Pressure, most of the TTSS, but haven't even TOUCHED a lot of other stuff.

I'm pretty happy with the reception my Yuletide story got this year, considering I think it's the most obscure fandom I've written in.

The Lord of Joiry: [link]

There's also a novel-length (47K, okay a short novel) Ivan/Byerly adventure of awesome plottiness and worldbuilding.

There is also a story set in The Left Hand of Darkness, about a person who does not change sexes during their life: [link]

Beautifully written story.

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

I have really been expecting someone to spot at least one of my stories, but not yet! I thought I was more obvious than that.

I am generally no good at all at identifying most of my friends' writing, unless it's really unique like RthStewart, or one or two of my old pals from XF. But something about one of the Wimsey stories made me think of Betsy. I guess I'll find out if I was right on Sunday...

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.

Amazingly good. One quible/question? If "perverts" were known on this world, why was such a convenient label never used to marginalize the ambassador? Of course the meta reason is that Le Guin did not include "perverts", but I wonder how the author of this fic would rationalize this? Might make an interesting coda...

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

Any idea when tomorrow the YT author reveal goes live? (Why yes, I'm eager to post my year-in-fic summary.)

I ended up picking up a pinch hit this year the day before the posting deadline. I'm very happy with how the story turned out, and the recipient genuinely seemed to like it.
