Greetings from Mom's house, where I have been busily working my way through Yuletide stories! Here are some recs.

The best comes first: two absolutely hilarious Great British Bake Off stories!

First, The Malteser Falcon,, for longwhitecoats, whose request I happened to see and desperately hoped someone would do. And here it is! Sue is a noir detective, Mel is ( Read more... )

Dear Yuletide Author,

First of all, thank you! I'm already happy and flattered that you would write a gift for me.

All of my previous posts about Yuletide are public under my Yuletide tag, so you can see what kinds of stories I've received, written, and liked in the past.

Here are my fandoms, characters, and ideas.

Look, I wrote a fic!

Now that the Yuletide authors have been revealed, I can say that I wrote Compensation, The Westing Game. Judge Ford remembers her chess games with Sam Westing, and tries to pay forward some more old debts ( Read more... )

Two last Yuletide recs!

Counterpoint, A Study in Emerald. A prequel moment: about decision, friendship, and remembering just how deeply wrong the world is. hca, I think you'd especially like this one.

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Park, Welcome to Nightvale/Parks and Recreation. Hilarious and weird in just the right deadpan Nightvale way ( Read more... )

After more than a week of travel, I am BACK in my own place! It was great to go places and see people, but it is wonderful to be in my own space, and I spent much of last evening doing the Finding Nemo seagull "mine! mine! mine!" around my apartment.

I have also spent some more time reading Yuletide! Here are some more recs.

( Yuletide Recs, part 2. Night Circus, Middleman, Northern Exposure, Roman de Silence, Sleepy Hollow, and lots of fun and improbable crossovers )

( Yuletide Recs, part 1. Nepotism, Brave, SHIELD, A Christmas Carol, Lizzie Bennet Diaries, and more! )

I have TWO Yuletide gifts! Both in Slings and Arrows, both absolutely wonderful.

First, We'll Strive to Please You Every Day. Geoffrey teaches a Shakespeare workshop to students! Viola is in love with Olivia, teenagers discover Shakespeare for the first time, and ANNA gets the moment of knowing what Shakespeare is like, the moment when the swirly ( Read more... )

Dear Yuletide Author,

Thank you so much for writing for me! This is my very first time participating, and I'm really excited to see what stories come out of this challenge.

I've made public all of my posts about Yuletide in the past, so that you can get an idea of what kind of stories I like and why.

( My Requests )

Yuletide, Part 3: in which I pass on friends' recs, and recommend some more stories written for friends and about friends' media endeavors, and do some general end-of-alphabet recs.

( Middleman, Unusuals, AWESOME medieval literature, awesomer choose-your-own-adventure, Incredibles, cracky crossovers, Discworld, Tangled, and more )

More Yuletide recs!

Start Rushing Towards the Skyline, Mad Men. I love stories that let silent characters speak, and we hardly ever get a chance to hear what's going on in Trudy's mind. It's much darker than you'd think, and you can see Trudy starting to become Betty.

Macdonald Hall Runs for Parliament. What do you do when a York turkey runs for ( Read more... )
