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.netVeritas fic: FamilyListener fic: FaithFringe fic: Not Her WorldNightmare Before Christmas/Hogfather (Discworld) crossover fic: The Ill-advised Skeletal Exchange ProgrammeI'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.
I really ought to do this every year; since I didn't last year, here's my 2009 Yuletide info
