New Year 2008

[winter]

Not a bad party, surprisingly :) Now, two days of work to get through before I'm off to Budapest.

And now that Yuletide authors have been revealed, I can tell you which one I wrote. It's an utterly obscure fandom, but I've tried my best to make it outsider-accessible in a way that might make the story enjoyable also for someone unfamiliar with it.

Chasing Titania - based on Boris Akunin's Fandorin novels (in particular the first one, Azazel/Winter Queen).

(And incidentally, I feel utterly inferior. That brilliant Neverwhere story I recced was written by calliope85, my recipient. I am significantly unworthy.)

Trust me, I spent a hell of a lot of time trying to get Rudolf in there, but it's one single year off - by the time he makes it to England, Zurov and Fandorin are fighting Turks. Sisi would note, though, how much the boys remind her of her own boy ;)

I have to admit I've read the books in Polish, so I was afraid of getting speech patterns wrong ^^; I should probably get an English edition of Winter Queen at least.

(And you have a Jesper icon! The fact I don't is a great oversight. Best Rudolf Ever.)
