Yuletide reveal! Yaaaaay!

Okay. First thing's first.

MANY. MANY. MAAAAAAANY thanks to [livejournal.com profile] amatara for the fabulous Bearing Witness which OMG YOU SHOULD HAVE READ ALREADY WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU IF YOU HAVEN'T.

Um. Yes, anyway. Yes! Thank you! You wrote a brilliant fic, thank you thank you thank you.



Now... for the two I wrote.

First for my original assignment: For [livejournal.com profile] andraste, I wrote A Letter, Delivered by a Raven, to a Small Cottage in the Elven Village of Ivyleaf, Home of an Apprentice Baker. Probably the longest title I've ever used for a fanfic ever. XD It's Order of the Stick fic! Which... well, if you're not familiar with that particular webcomic, go and avail yourself of it, because it's awesome. If you are, it's a letter written by V. Which... led to some interesting moments when I was like... must be more unnecessarily wordy! Chop chop! :) It was very fun to write and the prompt was kind of great.

Second, for the pinch hit I managed to nab and... well, I got a rather enthusiastic reaction.

For [personal profile] melannen, one of the seven fics she got for the same prompt, aaaah!, Packet Switching. Anthropomorfic. Fandom/LJ, Fandom/DW. Awesome prompt, spawned lots of awesome fic, and I have to say I'm actually kind of ridiculously fond of mine, so... yay! :D


That was so fun. Is it next yuletide yet? :b

I'm just slightly in awe of your icon.

I KNEW THAT WAS [livejournal.com profile] amatara, I KNEW IT HOHOHOHO.

OMG, that OotS fic is yours? I bookmarked it and haven't gotten to it yet, but I squeed over the title alone, which I thought was perfect and very, very V. V is my favoritest character and I can't wait to read it eeeeee!

And now I'm cracking up because I went back and forth between the story [livejournal.com profile] amatara wrote for you and the briefer smutty fic with Londo and G'Kar in jail, wondering if maybe the latter was by her...but the first was so definitely by her...and just totally forgot that it was possible to write more than one, lol.

I'm so glad you liked El Dia de los Muertos! I had so much fun working with La Dama and filling in some backstory mentally and imagining how she'd react to everyone...

Okay, so now I'm burning with curiosity in which way the longer story is "so definitely" by me, but the shorter one was harder to guess. :) It couldn't have been the amount of smut, I'm guessing, because I didn't use a single explicit word (well, apart from "come" if you consider that as such *g*) in the whole story...

I'm desperately behind in reading the stories I bookmarked, and alas, the one you wrote isn't a fandom I'm familiar in... Would it make sense to read it without knowing the fandom, you think? Oh, and thanks for pointing me to "Waltzing", I would totally have missed it otherwise! I puzzled over writing it for you as a Treat, but gave it up because there was no way I could have done that in just a few days. So great that someone picked it up - and lucky for me, too! :)

Besides the plot's tenderness and affection for all three characters, it was the author's note, which was charming and modest and just sounded greatly like you. :)

And it's not that the sex scene wasn't very in-character for you and wonderful, it was just that I hadn't read one by you yet so I used that as a convenient (and incorrect) shorthand to rule you out. :)

You can give my Yuletide story a shot, but all things considered (especially that it's pretty long and would be a decent time investment) I'm not sure it would work for you. I was sorry I didn't get some Londo/G'Kar myself! :) I had fun with the prompt but I would have liked to branch out of comics fandom a bit for Yuletide, lol.

*grins sheepishly* Thanks - I don't think I've ever owned someone's soul before! :) I left a longer reply, including a "thank you for the squeeing" over at your comment in my journal. But basically, I'm so, so glad you liked the fic!
