I wrote two stories for this year's Yuletide!

For LeeSide, who has no journal that I can find, I wrote Monte Carlo Doctrine fic. Monte Carlo Doctrine is a four-panel webcomic by [personal profile] odditycollector which ran for 37 comics (and if you like A Softer World, I urge you to go check it out, because it's a very similar sense of humor) so I knew the fandom for this was going to be tiny, but what I didn't count on was that the fandom for this was going to be me and [personal profile] livrelibre, who was my If on a winter's night... recip last year, and who wrote a treat for LeeSide as well taking the opposite view. And you should read it! Hers is Love Rain. Ah, Yuletide, home of the metafictional coincidence.

Mine is other ghosts. You need zero knowledge of the canon to read it, but since it's eight four-panel comics it's a very quick read: here. If I did a ficmeme about favorite unappreciated stories, this would, inexplicably, be it (inexplicably because I spent much of December hating it) and I think some of you might like it a lot, so, you know. S-self-rec?

The other fic I wrote was you're gonna leave them all behind, for [personal profile] starlady, and it was Disney Princess Superheroes fic (based on a piece of art by [deviantart.com profile] kreugan.) This one was a lot of fun to write and now I have to go see the Frog Princess finally jesus christ. Though I don't think I'll ever forgive myself for naming it after "Firework".

That pretty much concludes our Yuletide programming for the year, though there might be one more post of post-reveal recs, because shit, people on my flist can write. Have you noticed this? It may have come up occasionally.

ETA: Oh! And! Speaking of metafictional shenanigans! [personal profile] odditycollector wrote me a Deeba haiku for Madness and I totally missed it until today. It is delightful. Go read it!

I'm definitely excited -- I just don't want to do it alone in my room like a creeper, so I'm still waiting on the right partner. :p

Aww, I wish you lived closer so you could come over here! Frog's accompanying dance moves are not to be missed.

I am still grinning with delight at the metafictional stars aligning:) Your fic was fabulous and I certainly appreciated your take on the scenario a lot. And I have to say, your fic from last year constantly brings me great joy. Thanks for the rec, and may we continue to meet in small fandoms as well as on the flist:)

And! Speaking of metafictional shenanigans!
*stares* ...That is indeed a bunch of coincidences!

Um. For what it's worth, you and [personal profile] livrelibre (and LeeSide) made my Yuletide extra exciting, although I feel awkward mentioning it.

Hahah, noooo, please don't feel awkward! It was delightful if nervewracking getting to sort of give you an extra gift. If you ever feel comfortable talking about what parts of mine & livrelibre's stories align/don't align/are bafflingly out of left field with your conception in the comic, I would totally love to hear it :)

Haha. As you can imagine, I was having so many of those thoughts.

please don't feel awkward!
I'd been unsure how to compose myself since I noticed mcd on the nominations list... the idea that someone was interested enough in the comic to want further discussion about it was rather mindblowing. I had a mental list of about 4 people who I thought the requester/writers could possibly be, and then it turned out I was wrong *on all counts*.

... YOU wrote that fic?

... You are so amazing. XD Like NINE people I know recced it to me and I read it and thought, "holy CRAP."

Also, The Princess and THe Frog is notable for being a Randy Newman score that doesn't suck, and the villain song owns.
