Notice of absence, with extra whine

[winter]

Off to the seaside for two days, to watch the guy in my moodtheme play a monk. Technically back Sunday, but very, very late.

Also, I have a love-hate relationship with ficathons - so far this year I've succeeded at one, completely failed another for health and work reasons, and this time I managed one a week in advance, only to post the story after the deadline due to circumstances outside my control. I may link to it on Monday, but for now I'm just facepalming over the whole thing because argh! I was trying so hard to be a good participant!

But the one ficathon that's been decent to me last time around is Yuletide, and it'll be signups soon, and yay! It's the rare fandom ficathon to beat all - all rare fandoms and all genres and themes welcome, and you get to both write a rare fandom (out of the ones you indicate you know, of course, and only the fandom and characters are obligatory, you can ignore the prompt if it blocks you), and get a guaranteed story in a rare fandom of your choice. Last year it got me a great Dracula story, and this year I'm hoping for something in a musical fandom.

More about Yuletide here - why not consider signing up?

Considering signing up - I've never written fanfic in anger before, so it could be fun - but disappointed that nobody nominated The Tales of Westala and Villtin (http://tale.cunobaros.com/). There can't be many smaller fandoms than that (especially ones that manage to namecheck you as a supplier of clothes and equipment to scantily clad female assassins).
