This is the Yuletide Madness treat I wrote which I decided to post after all. My recipient and a few other people liked it and it's finally out of my WIP folder so I'm pleased.

If anyone hasn't read the canon, it's short, free, and excellently creepy! http://www.neilgaiman.com/mediafiles/exclusive/shortstories/emerald.pdf

Yuletide opens tomorrow! I'm excited for all the new fic in tiny fandoms.

I've been attempting to write a treat for Madness and I don't love it but possibly any fic is better than none, especially in tiny fandoms? Or I may consign it to the Abandoned folder which is for the best sometimes.

What I'm Watching - Grimm - Season 1 (Rewatch) )

What I'm Reading - Exit Strategy by Martha Wells )

And, as always, I'm reading a ton of fic. This month I'm reccing John/Rodney fics for [community profile] stargateficrec which is one of my favorite comms. I feel kind of bad because I usually only rec the minimum 2 stories for a month, but it's because I'm saving up for future months! I have at least 3 this time. Every time I think I'm going to run out of fics, luckily I discover more.

Also, the Yuletide tag set is complete so people are starting to post letters and those are great fun to read and see about writing any treats from.

Yuletide nominations are open!

I can't believe it's already this time of year! In general this year I decided to stop participating in the gift receiving part of fic exchanges. I prefer the gift giving part anyway and it's so much less stressful to not be assigned something specific and have the deadline. I love looking through everyone's letters and picking something I really want to write as a treat with no pressure. I've participated in Yuletide since 2012 and I had to default for the first time last year and I felt really bad. Anyway, I'm super excited to try to write treats and see all the new fic in tiny fandoms! Bless the admins and all the people that do extra organization like the nominations coordination spreadsheet.

So far my nominations under consideration are:
  • Killjoys (TV)
  • MacGyver (TV 2016)
  • The Exorcist (TV)
  • Miss Marple - Agatha Christie
  • A Study in Emerald - Neil Gaiman
  • Star Wars Legends: Thrawn Trilogy - Timothy Zahn - I'm not sure this is even the one I mean, there are so many Star Wars disambiguations

Things that the spreadsheet already shows as nominated for me to remember to keep an eye out for letters:
  • Murderbot Diaries
  • The Americans
  • Rivers of London - I'm surprised this continues to be eligible year after year. I wrote two fics for it in 2015. I do kind of want to write a fic about the the Society of Old Guys that keep up on the gossip of Thomas Nightingale and his starling which I think came up in Foxglove Summer if someone serendipitously requests something that obscure
