...when you don't want to send your story to the beta because it's not finished yet.

*facepalm*

(In other news: eyestrain. o_O I think I'm going to get my Yuletide treats posted and retire from the Interwebs for a little while. Happy end-of-year-panic season, all! XD)

In more cheerful news: my Fandom_Stocking is up!

For those who've not heard of it, fandom_stocking is a winter gift!fic comm with much looser rules than Yuletide. You submit a list of fannish stuff you like (any size fandom is fair game) here, the mod puts it up with screened comments, and people go and leave you commentfic and icons and good wishes and things.
