There are people out there who want MORE Sam/Amelia than the show itself gave us?!?
WORD.
I'm trying to explain the difference between OOC and not and audience satisfaction on IO9. Dean/Lisa is in character, even if demonised, and Sam/Amelia is highly absurd. Poor actress. It's only some of her fault--if Sam had kept looking for Dean during the relationship, that'd be a bit better.
Go Dana!
Who defaulted on Yueltide (within the grace period, at least), because she had the horrible realization there was just no way she would have time to write a story?
hangs head in shame
No shame!
That's sad, but you didn't leave somebody hanging.
I was worried I'd have to default on one of my DCBB authors, so I know the fear of letting people down. But I pulled out both decent and my most popular AO3 art post, so I'm okay with the despair I entertained. But I feel for people who couldn't. It's real.
I also achieved a Yuletide draft and posted the thing tonight! Which is good, because I'm getting on a train on Friday and pretty much won't have internet again until the 28th.
Yeah, we've started to get tags from Yuletide fics. Some of which we can't figure out what to do with until they go live.
Which is awfully exciting, as a reader.
Oh, that sounds fun, Debet! What kinds of things are you getting (if you can share)?
The rest of my week is Yuletide. I am a horrible slacker. As usual.
Last year was weird, because I got it done early, but I think I wanted to step the fuck away from Broadchurch.
Of course, then I wrote a second story to go with the first. ::handwaves::
In my own bins, just a character who we aren't sure whether it's a canonical character given a family name that she would have canonically married into, but did not use in the story or...someone else. But there are...whispers of a shadow growing in the archive. A nameless fear spawning tags in small fandoms, the dark places in the archive where wranglers rarely need go.
Or something like that.
And there there's the Hot Pie/Santa Claus tag that's been sitting on a draft for a month. Which, if GoT/ASoIaF were not too large a fandom for it to be a Yuletide fic, I would totally guess that that is what it is.
