Ooooo! Can you please link?
Wash: I didn't think you were one for rituals and such. Mal: I'm not, but it'll keep the others busy for a while. No reason to concern them with what's to be done.

This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.

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...

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.

I think it's the same time as the story reveal, right? Which would be 9AM board time.
