Bits and Bobs-Yuletide, Old Kingdom and a Meme

[ceitfianna]

Life is good. I slept late today and had an odd dream about a cruise ship, a performance with Damien Lewis and Miranda Otto in it, a knife attack and also in the midst of it all, a really lovely conversation with my flatmate from Wellington who I still regret not being brave enough to ask out properly.

Since my watch battery is dead, I had to go look at my mother's computer to see the time and on this lazy, grey day, I slept until noon. So far the only major bump of today was that I scratched off the code from my iTunes gift card so hopefully they can get me another one without a problem.

I wanted to also share the lovely story that I got for Yuletide that's from the world of Diana Wynne Jones' and her Magids' series. If you don't know it, go find a copy of Deep Secret.

From the Files on Wonderland

When Rupert wants to take Maree out on a surprise date, the quarrel they have is only the beginning of their troubles.

I'm so glad that I've started doing Yuletide and each year I plan on doing even more since I love writing and there's a wonderful challenge to it since I ended up writing for a fandom that I've never written for before. Also as I have the time to look through everyone's recs and through all the stories, I'm sure I'll post a few more recs.

In other news, I would really love to actually start Old Kingdom plot things. A lot of the delay has been my fault with the end of the semester but I don't have to do anything until January 5th. So I'd love to know the schedules and time commitments of everyone who volunteered to help. I have the basic plot outlined, its just a matter of putting together OOMs, figuring out what Touchstone looks like and uploading some icons into the Charter NPC account. I'm really looking forward to doing this and feel so grateful to be part of a such a great small but mighty cast.

Small edit-I love writing little ficlet gifts and since I don't have everyone's address to send them holiday cards but still want to do things for those on my flist.

Please request a couple-friendship or more shippy and whatever prompt you'd like and I'll write you something.

I go back to Munich on Tuesday 29th and then am at utter liberty for whatever until January 10th.

I've got family here until the beginning of the year, but other than that I'm free. Then completely free until the 11th. <33

I am in TN on vacation now, and I will be back in Denver on New Year's day. After that I just work normal hours.

I am around on and off most days, but have family here, which does mess with my evenings. :S Still, am around during the day GMT for the rest of this week, then am back to work on the 4th.
