Better late than... okay I'm a slacker
Here, have my Kouya/Yamato icon, because I am so late with posting this.

So! Yuletide reveal is in, so this is the part where I link to what I wrote and babble about it for a little while, I guess.

My Yuletide assignment was to write for Across the Universe - which is something I've never written before, so I was a little apprehensive. I ended up writing Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight/The End, after much deliberation at what to write. The request was for a Max-centric fic, and I was immediately reminded that although Jude is the main character, Max is the center of the whole story - he's the lynchpin. I tried to get into his head and find out what it might have been like for him, coming back from Vietnam to find that everyone he had ever known or loved back home was gone except for his sister, who was changed. I've gotten some nice comments and compliments on this story, and even garnered a rec or two. Plus, the recipient adored it, so my work is done.

I also wrote a pinch hit, Improvisation, from Dragonriders of Pern. I've role-played in this fandom a lot, and I've written some OC fanfiction, so I was already pretty comfortable in the universe. Add that to the fact that the request was about the Harpers, and I always geek about being able to put my love for music down on the page, and this came along swimmingly. I've gotten so many comments on this, too. I'm just floored at the level of response this has generated.

As for who wrote mine - white_aster wrote me my delightfully hotwrong story and I loved every second of it. I also had suspicions it was her before the reveal XD

I'm looking forward to next year. A lot.
