it's good to live again

Argh. I missed Heroes last night, because I was busy helping my mother try and clean the entire house. My grandmother's visiting (they should really be here soon, hum). And NBC's online player refuses to function for me. *resists clicking the spoilers*

So . . . a few more yule-ish things, anyone? thefourthvine posted some really excellent thoughts on writing prompts, which I find very helpful, and recommend. liviapenn has more here, which I have not read yet. Also worth reading is her last-year's post, How Not To Ruin Yuletide.

Also, check this out: yuletart! It's like Yuletide for artists! It's new and very small, but such a worthy cause, I'm definitely going to give it a try . . . I know a couple of people out there who really ought to as well. *prod*

Meanwhile, I've decided to keep From Eroica With Love. It's my baby, and dude, Yuletide is the season for laying aside your stickler-ness and just enjoying the incredible generosity of other fen. It's not as though I don't enjoy reading most Eroicafic, even when it's not my interpretation. I'll just request that Klaus not be written as anything even vaguely resembling a fluffy puppy, and things should be better than fine. :)

So now I've narrowed it down a bit . . . I think I'm going to drop either Strangers in Paradise or the Nautical RPF. I could request all comic fandoms this year! Or would that be boring? Pirates in drag . . . kickass amazon bodyguard and bubbly adorable girl with hidden depths . . . argh. Well, I have a few more days.
