Yuletide reveal!

[winter]

I wasn't terribly productive (especially next to fyrie with her 11 stories *swats*), but then rather than snowed in for a week, I was doing semi-regular 12-hour days at work while overseeing the ongoing renovations of my future flat. (All Christmas cards I got this year mention the renovations. Am I babbling about them that much?)

Oh, and my main stories were written by Herself *swats again* I guessed from Raindrops, because that's our Amidio and Thanatos in the flesh, but Gazing into the Abyss fooled me. No fair changing style on me :P

I also got a lovely treat from Skazka - a Sandman snippet from the ending.

Yuletide was fun as usual. And I love the Kudos feature - the "Like" button that's so easy to click!

With my assigned recipient, I had to stretch myself to write an Alfred story. I have no idea where I got that Alfred from!

I also promised one to windstar127, and writing a young Rosalie was fascinating - I'd like to do more either with her or characters like her, young and innocent. I write too many omnipotent dark warriors ;)

And speaking of which, the response to this fic - written because the recipient's Yuletide letter just resonated with me - kind of floored me. 88 comments and kudos, on a story that's all about women (five to three men, and all main characters) and all about the powers and the different kinds of queens.

Funny, we both seem to have been assigned the same recipient. Well, it's said on the FAQ this sometimes happens, and I think it's awesome that we did such different things with the same prompt. Hopefully the recipient also enjoys that. :-)

I really think something was going on with the matching algorithm this year - people being matched on strange non-rare fandoms etc. (And the recipient who took off for Yuletide as well, I see!)

Personally I'm happy there was a second fic on the same prompt, since I felt pretty unsure about mine, so at least there's choice. :-D (Though it was the first fic of mine ever to get recced, so I guess it doesn't totally suck. :-P) I hope she liked our stories - I haven't seen any traces of her online, so I guess she's just away for Christmas and forgot to say it.

OMGGGGG you wrote that Narnia/Alice one!! Your Susan is amazing. I love it SO MUCH. I've read it around 10 times already. XD

Thankee :D Somehow I think I managed to write something that touched people - the response to it floored me.
