Yuletide Reveals

[meretricula]

Happy New Year, everybody! May we all be healthy and happy and able to afford the books we want to buy in 2018.

Yuletide reveals are up! I received two lovely stories, a character study for Elliot and Luke from In Other Lands and get-together fic for Nate and Charlie (with background Joanna/Holly!) from Nothing Can Possibly Go Wrong. I'm still very very slowly reading my way through the collection, but I've also really enjoyed this slow-burn romance for Gavin and Sezin from Integrate (I haven't read the canon but I could figure it out from the fic), this extremely weird epistolary thing about the Vantablack pigment feud, and this political space opera featuring Scipio Africanus and Hannibal of Punic War fame.

I wrote four stories this year including my assignment, which I think is actually the longest fic I've ever completed in my life. Both in order of posting and descending word count:

I don't normally go in for New Year's resolutions, but I am hoping that this year I'll be able to write a little more in the Protector of the Small series I started last year! I miss Kel being part of Yuletide. And I want to be better about replying to comments, so I'll wrap this up here and get started on beginning as I mean to go on!
