Happy New Year; Yuletide Reveals
Happy New Year, everyone!
The changing of the calendar also means that Yuletide is over, authors are revealed, and so at last I can brag about the stuff I wrote!
For the main Yuletide collection, I only did one story, but I felt like it was enough. I was re-matched to my recipient from my very first Yuletide, re-kindled my love for the fandom they introduced me to lo those years ago, and finished the story I'd been wanting to do in that fandom for almost that long:
Everything else I did was for the Yuletide Madness collection, eleven pieces in all, so I'll put them behind a cut:
I'll start with the piece I made for someone on my dwircle (I hope posting artwork wasn't cheating):
And one general-purpose ficlet, which was also the second-most-well-received thing I did:
All my other Madness contributions were for the Yuletide Madness Drabble invitational, 9 of them in fact! I'd only posted one drabble before this, and I had a really good time with them, starting with the most well-received thing I wrote:
(Canon link here: Sovay, performed by Pentangle.)
This next one was the most unloved thing I did. I didn't think it was that bad, but even the recipient hasn't commented on it. Really, though, the reception I got for those last two things takes the sting out. Note for future reference: bet-hedging works.
A few of them were little love letters to long-loved fandoms:
I also went a little crazy sampling new fandoms. Some I only enjoyed (Swordspoint by Ellen Kushner; Chalice by Robin McKinley; Secret of Roan Inish; probably more I'm forgetting!), but I did write about a few of them. The Sovay fic above is in that category, and here are some more, both the silly and the profound:
And finally, something in between that I happened to have read not long before Yuletide:
I had a great time writing this year, and I hope any fellow Yuletiders reading did, too! I have a few prompts and ideas tucked away for New Years Resolution stories, too, lest life become too ordinary too soon.
Happy 2015!
