Notes: After I'd finished my Yuletide assignment I thought I'd write a treat and the prompt for a NBX/Discworld crossover caught my eye. I'd never written in these fandoms before, but they're two of my favourite Christmas themed media, and once the similarities were pointed out by the recipient I couldn't resist.
( You have both impersonated a wintry, gift giving, demigod )

Yuletide 2010 Round up

Whew! Yuletide is over - though the New Year Resolutions section will remain open pretty much until the 2011 Yuletide gets underway.

I had a wonderful Cara-Zedd friendship fic as my gift: Midsummer's Eve by Oparu; "Zedd and Cara spend midsummer's eve talking about lovers around a campfire". It's sweet and in-character, and while Richard and Kahlan are away, allows for some bonding between the Mord'Sith and the wizard. One of my favourite lines was from Cara who proclaims at one point, ""It is not arrogance when it is based in fact." Never change, Cara :)

I wrote my assigned fic and three treats (iz pleased with self). Links below, all are also at my collections: Archive Of Our Own and FF.net

Veritas fic: Family
Listener fic: Faith
Fringe fic: Not Her World
Nightmare Before Christmas/Hogfather (Discworld) crossover fic: The Ill-advised Skeletal Exchange Programme

I'd never dared to consider writing Discworld fic before but that latter fic has received the most attention, kudos, and reviews I've ever had. I even got rec'd, multiple times! A real boost to my confidence.

I've read some great fics but I'm still going through them, commenting, adding kudos, etc. Eventually they'll be in my bookmarks at Archive Of Our Own.
