last night I dreamt I'd forgotten my name

reflectedeveNearly at the end of the year at last. Happy holiday season, friends; I hope you're all cozy somewhere with people you love and/or good things to do.
It has been really wonderful to be home with my family again for Christmas, after the miserable isolation of last year. I feel incredibly lucky that we were able to swing it; that we don't live far enough apart to require flying, and that my brother and his girlfriend were willing and able to come get me in their car so I didn't have to carry the risks of mass transit home to my parents, both in their early seventies. It has been a mostly peaceful, occasionally very goofy time; certainly a respite from my life in the city (though I'm nearly ready to go back - I miss my cat).
I'm looking forward to reading some of the Yuletide stories I've set aside on the train and leaving lots of belated but heartfelt comments on the delightful variety of![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
multifandomdoodle works! Speaking of which, if you haven't, you should seriously check out the Multifandom Doodle archive. This exchange is really living up to its promise of inclusivity and low-pressure fun and general goodwill. I don't suppose we could have it quarterly? ;)
I received a really lovely gift from each of those exchanges:
tingle, Sex Education, Lily-centric, 1946 words, M
A contemplative journey through Lily's creative inspiration and endeavors, from childhood viewings of Star Trek through a modest adult side career as a writer of delightfully weird and retro-futurism-tinged self-published erotica and cozy domesticity with Ola and their kids. <3
Poor Jody ..., The Locked Tomb, Judith/Coronabeth, G
Pre-series, an incorrigible Coronabeth flirts with a rigidly uncomfortable Judith at a Third House party. Sheer delight!
As ever, I want to keep this fandom train rolling a bit longer, so I'm signing up (to draw) forrarefemslashexchange and chocolateboxcomm (currently in sign-ups and nominations, respectively). My writing brain needs a rest ... I am pleased with how my Yuletide story came out, but I struggled with it more than I have in years.
Oh, and I finally saw Die Hard last night (yes, for the first time). Honestly, a bit bloodier than I'd have preferred, but it certainly had its moments.
