Holidays and Yuletide
Jan. 3rd, 2022 02:28 pmThis is a late post for this but I've been having a lovely, quiet holiday with my family that's ending with a snowstorm. I've realized that for the last few holidays, I'm online differently than I used to be. With Discord, I can connect to friends without having to pull out my laptop which is nice and Ao3 has also improved the mobile experience.
Also one wonderfully unexpected part of this holiday is realizing that one of my major stresses isn't there the way its been before. I'm working at a place that values me and will work with me, because they know how much I can help them. That makes the ground under my feet feel a little solider as the rest of the world is still a mess.
Now for Yuletide news, I received Time Out, a really sweet That Thing You Do! fic about Guy and Faye, which really captured the feel of the movie while adding to the world.
I wrote Patient as a gentle stream, an October Daye fic about the Lordens and their changing family. This was one of those lovely times where I was asked to write the fic that I wanted to read. I also think this might be one of my more popular Yuletide fics since so many of us wanted more of these characters.
For reading Yuletide, I really love the random fics generator on the dashboard and there was so much good stuff. I'll only hit a few of my real favorites since I know there's a lot I've missed.
over the furthest hill which combines The Dalemark Quartet and the Attolia books and wow, I didn't realize how well these two fandoms fit together. This is a fic about someone not fitting in and then finding a friend.
very strange and wonderful which is a Space AU for The Repair Shop and I love how it conjures up an anthropologist who gets caught up in what they do. And I adore all the little choices for the characters.
This Hallowed House which is one of the fluffiest and sweetest October Daye fics that I've ever read.
Scenes from an Answering Machine, which is a 10 Things I Hate About You fic and I love this glimpse of the family and their possible futures.
Schedule: 15th Day of the Month, Amended, a Temple of the White Rat fic that is wonderful and I feel like one of the best advertisements of why people should read T. Kingfishers' books.
