My recipient responded, and very nicely. I take back all the bad thoughts I had.
They should film that story and show it every Christmas.

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.

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.

Everything you've posted should be there. You just have to figure out roughly when your, um, friend posted it and use the Calendar to check around.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
How long does lj keep stuff
Forever, in theory.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
RE Yuletide, I have also decided that astolat and tzikeh are saints. Good God.

To the post about how to handle the no-show problem, yeah. Good Lord. If you don't like how they're running it, make your own, doofus!

We need a name for this school of philosophy. I'd like to call it "The Internet's Not a Democracy, Asswipes," but it seems a little wordy.
