I misunderstood the point of this ride

(Does anyone know why Firefox hates LJ lately? That was annoying.)

Happy 2007, everyone! It’s the day of revelation for yuletide, and now that I’m allowed to be public about my contributions, I thought I’d talk about them a little.

(Oops, I almost slipped up! Turns out go_exchange's reveal is tomorrow . . . I think? So I'll be able to post my picture then.)

This was the fourth yuletide (and I've participated in each one, yay). And, for the first time, I wrote two stories: my original assignment and a “stocking stuffer." They’re about as different from each other as I can imagine, too: the former lengthy, PG-rated gen, and the latter short, explicit femslash.

What a fantastic year for yuletide. I stretched my boundaries, wrote more in a few days than I've done in most years, recieved a beautiful fairy tale with my own name on it, and will probably be in fic (to read) for the rest of the year. I feel really pumped, so maybe I'll finally keep my annual resolution to contribute to the NYR challenge.

Thanks so much, keswindhover and sweetvalleyslut, for your fun and challenging requests, and so much love to moonsheen, who filled a request I've been hoping for dearly for the past two years. I hope everyone had as much fun as I did! Cheers. :)
