Yuletide reveal!

[sophinisba]

Naw, turns out my Yuletide story Derived from Crenshaw, Meaning Inquisitive is by sugargroupie. I read an SGA fic of hers a while back and we were in touch back in November for remixthedrabble. How nice to get a present from someone I already knew was cool. Thank you again, sugargroupie!!

Here are links to the stories I wrote. I'll probably repost them to my journal in a few days, and at some point I also need to do a rambly post about what a great time I had writing all of them. Thank you to all my recipients, especially my assigned recipient speccygeekgrrl, for the awesome prompts and responses! Thanks to my betas and to everyone who commented and recced, and to everyone who participated in some way in this year's Yuletide!

I'm SUCH a nerd *pounds on the ceiling*

Anyway, srsly, I'm SO SO glad you wrote that fic for me. It was so very awesome!

That was the only emergency fic I wrote! (The only one I started after the default list went out)! It was so much fun! Poor Harold and Jack!!!

*stalks*

You wrote three of my favourite stories! (Nine Steps in a Circle, How Does Your Garden Grow and Just to Keep It.) In case you haven't already seen the posts, I recced all three here (http://paceus.livejournal.com/96859.html) (I had no idea they were written by a single person!) and wrote some more about Just to Keep It here (http://paceus.livejournal.com/97931.html). Thanks again for that fic -- the writing is incredibly good, and the story fascinating!

In case you haven't already seen the posts...

Ah ha ha ha ha! No, I've been doing some stalking of my own and have definitely seen those posts. I noticed you commented to three of my stories and was hoping you were planning to do a recs post, but I sure was not expecting such an amazing detailed commentary on any of my stories. Both of your posts are bookmarked so I can go back to them now when I'm doubting in my abilities as a writer. :)

Thank you so much for the Hours prompt! I hadn't given much thought to writing for that source but I happened to click through to your Yuletide letter and it was a real joy, going back to look at that book as well as Mrs. Dalloway. (I enjoyed it so much that I think I'm going to ask for Clarissa/Sally Seton next year, actually.) I was a teensy bit frustrated that I couldn't get it over 1000 words so it was especially nice to see that you appreciated it saying a lot in a short number of words.
