I sometimes do well in response to challenges. And other times, not so well. And given the stress of the holiday season, I'm just as glad I didn't participate. But I'm a little wistful, because there are some fantabulous stories on the archive.
Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
It seemed like a reasonable response to the situation. I take it others didn't have similar thought progressions.
I think most people saw how well it turned out last year, especially with regards to quality of fic and participation. Now Yuletide is this brilliant, huge archive of 800+ stories, and people are more willing to be a part of something this successful and cool, even if it's stressful.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Ah, the crack. Sometimes it comes personally engraved.

I posted fic today! Stargate apocafic with lots of angst and death and a small amount of sex. Don't all trample me on your way to read Thunder Follow Me... *grin*

Up with the sun
Has anyone ever written Buffy/Spider-Man (filmverse) crossovers? I was thinking about reluctant, snarky heroes this morning.

Spider-Man is what led to my love of Buffy, because she quips just like he does. And she didn't ask for her super-powers, just like him! And she fights on the side of good, rather than exploiting her powers for evil, just like him!
....you can see why I got so excited.

Steph, thanks for the link to the DCU/OC crossover! I've been looking for OC fic, and that one was lots of fun.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I haven't had the chance to read lots of excellent stories that came out during the holiday (yuletide fic with all those treasures! Just waiting to be read!), but I stole some time just now to read the little challenge-vignettes written by my friend minnow, and wow, these are GOOD.
A Stargate SG-1 fic, Sam and Daniel, lost. I love this Sam.
Gaudet: Joan of Arcadia. Kevin, Christamas over the years.
A Charlie-fic, Lost: Gorgeous stuff.
Oh, Suela, I'm reading your Jack O'Neill 5 non-holidays, and God, you are MEAN to my darling Jack. (And you wrote Jack/Harry! OMG! So evil.)

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
She's mean. Poor Jack.
