Well, I like "childe", so I can't get too overwrought.
Look, Angel, I know you've been out of the loop for a while, but I'm still evil. I don't do errands...unless they're evil errands.

I, too, was all "No one recced my story! I am a blight on the face of fankind! I shall never write again to save us all the pain!" Regardless of how foolish it was.

Well, the problem with Yuletide is that in a world of obscure fandoms, there are still popular ones (Good Omens) and ones that no one has ever heard of, like the one I wrote in. Which makes any comment I get precious and joyful.

Oh! Hopefully this won't repeat a prior rec by someone else, but I ran across Yahtzee's "Goodnight, Moon" Joan of Arcadia fanfic the other day. (It crosses over with events, but not characters, from The Day After Tomorrow.) This is good enough that it brought tears to my eyes when I've never watched a single episode of the TV show.

Definitly read Goodnight Moon, at the end I was crying.
Also the Yuletide challenge produced two Winnie the Pooh stories, both Eyeorecentric which were very very good. Nice, sweet, G rated gen stories.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Be prepared with Kleenex for Goodnight Moon. Possibly lots of Kleenex.

Someone wrote a kickass Bertie and Wooster story which also has Lord Peter Wimsey in it. It's absolutely fabulous, however sadly unfinished. The writer swears she'll finish it soon.
There's a ton of good stuff written for the Yuletide challenge this year, I'm really impressed.

My recipient responded, and very nicely. I take back all the bad thoughts I had.

How long does lj keep stuff, if, say, my friend, was an idiot and forgot to put her fic in memories? Because somebody was pleading for "The Fledgling" today.

I take back all the bad thoughts I had.
It's kind of nice this year, for me. I can't obsessively check livejournal because I'm not home much, and the story I wrote is for a fandom that apparently flies under the radar of most participants, so I don't have to see people mentioning it with the snotty "this isn't rare!" commentary I got to read last year.
Come to think of it, I'm surprised I didn't have more reservations about participating this year...
On edit: I think Yuletide is awesome, and my recipient liked her story, so I'm all content and stuff, despite the incredibly self-centered nature of the above post. Huh.
