November accomplishments and good news

[sophinisba]

Ah, the end of the long weekend. I was freaking out just a little bit as I was writing the rent check this morning – how did it get to be December 1st already? There were important serious real-life things I had intended to get done by December 1st and I am nowhere close! :(

On the other hand, I had a great fannish month in November. With help from wrisomifu I did some fan writing every day, including all those ficlets for remixthedrabble, the crossover ficlets I'm still working on, and a lot of writing on several different fics for Yuletide. For the last day of the month I woke up with an idea for an extra Yuletide story and actually managed to write a whole first draft by noon and send it to beta in the evening. That never happens to me! I was so pleased!

Then also yesterday I got an e-mail from benebu, whom I'd met through the remix, offering to translate my remixed HP fic Let No One Put Asunder into French! OMG! I've never had someone do that before and I'm so excited!

And speaking of honors, congratulations to all you MEFA winners out there! And thanks to everyone who helped out by volunteering or by reviewing stories. I think I understood correctly that they had more reviews this year than ever before. It's awesome to see a part of LotR fandom growing like that after all this time.

You're on fire with fic-writing! Awesome.

Thanks! I hope I can keep it going as we go into the next month. I did promise fic for more of the prompts I got and I still haven't finished my main Yuletide story so I do need to keep working at it. :)
