Yuletide Reveals! Also known as "I might be a Yuletide Junkie already"

[hiddencait]

So yeah, I wrote... oh... 9 fics? All in different fandoms. It just sorta... took over my brain a bit. And I'm OK with that frankly!

For my original assignment:
"Pertaining to a Brief Engagement" for meretricula http://archiveofourown.org/works/1072612
North and South - John/Margaret
I had so much fun with this one - I really enjoyed the epistolary format and the period style of writing. I haven't really written in this style before, but I think I'd like to!

For my first pinch-hit:
"At Day's End" for kaydeefalls http://archiveofourown.org/works/1092001
Provost's Dog - Beka/Farmer post series
Another fandom that I just loved, and one I tried really hard to match the distinctive voice on. 1st person tends to be fairly easy for me, but writing as Beka was definitely a challenge. I think I managed it though!

For the second pinch-hit:
"A Tale Untold" for sundaydriver http://archiveofourown.org/works/1099295
Cinderalla AU
I love love LOVE fairy tale re-tellings, so this one just had to happen. To my surprise, it's actually the one that seems to be the most popular out of all the fics I wrote this year, which makes me hopeful for the Sleeping Beauty re-telling I'm working on this year!

So that filled out the things I was assigned to do, then I decided to run amoc with Treats:

"As the Waves Flow, One After Another" for boosette http://archiveofourown.org/works/1091899
A Girl and Her Plesiosaur
Oh man this short comic strip just totally captured my heart - I just had to write a little treat for boosette if only in thanks for introducing me to the fandom!

"Distasteful Traditions" for alyse http://archiveofourown.org/works/1094625
Hansel and Gretal: Witch Hunters
I totally wanted to write for this fandom, and after seeing it pop on my darling Alyse's letter, I figured I'd be writing it for her. Then the idea about the ginger bread houses popped into my head and the rest is history.

"Across the River" for grav_ity and not_from_stars http://archiveofourown.org/works/1099427
Black Ships by Jo Graham
This is the only one I gifted to 2 different people and it's only because it was ALL THEIR FAULT. I saw on both of their letters and thought hey - I can read a single book real quick. This will be great. And now I'm obsessed and it broke my heart. Love you both but you are EVIL.

"Dog Tired" for oxoniesis http://archiveofourown.org/works/1100532
The Unusuals
Jason Walsh with a puppy daemon - really did I need another reason.

"Not for Me" for eustaciavye http://archiveofourown.org/works/1100599
Pitch Black
I really wanted to write at least one Riddick fic this year, just to keep his voice in my head I think. This little drabble worked well for that.

"The Stolen Boy" for mari4212 http://archiveofourown.org/works/1100656
Dragon Jousters - Mercedes Lackey
For some reason I just never thought about writing fic for this fandom, but I'm glad I did! Ari and Kashet were faves of mine.

So yeah - LOTS of fics, lots of fandoms, and tons of fun. Not sure what else to say lol.
