Dear Yuletide Writer,

Hello! Happy Yuletide, and thank you so much for writing for me! I am really excited to see whatever you come up with. Here are some ideas, but don't worry about following a specific prompt if that's not where your ideas go--as long as you try to avoid the basic DNWs, I am going to be super happy to see fic for any of these fandoms.

( New Mutants )

( FF )

( The Locked Tomb )

Anyway, thanks for putting up with my rambling. I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

hey! so, i still exist. my computer is super slow so I only really use it for emails and photoshop right now, which makes it hard to keep up. i do see a lot of you peeps on tumblr, but it looks like most of you have either moved to dw primarily or mirror from there. is it less quiet than lj? does somebody want to tell me what's good over there (comms, icontests, memes, whatever)?

if you already added me over there, i'm not ignoring you, i just never really go there so my inbox is backed up. but my paid account expired which means lj is kind of garbage-y so i'm thinking about finally moving to dw.

Hooray, Yuletide! I mean, I guess reveals were technically, like, a week ago so really I could have shared all my ~secrets~ at any time, but I did not, so that time is now. Anyway! This year I feel like I got super lucky because I got exactly the letter I wanted. Not, like, some imaginary ideal letter, but literally I saw blevins's letter in the spreadsheet post on the last day of signups, looked at her prompts, went, "omg, I want it," changed my offers to include Morning Glories, and then somehow got assigned that letter. So that was pretty great.

I was about four issues behind on MG, so I got to catch up on it for my canon review, and I also went back and reread or skimmed most of the issues from the P.E. arc onward. It was really interesting to see how the newer story developments gave some of the plotlines from earlier issues a different perspective. When I was reading those issues the first time, a lot of stuff felt random or confused me, but it definitely felt more like the story was building towards something when I went back and reread it. And it was really fun to write this, because one of the things blevins asked for was slice of life, and writing slice of life for fandoms where the characters have canonically bizarre lives (time travel! murder school! magic powers???) is my jam. Also: Hunter. I really like Hunter. So yeah, that's my ramble, on to the fic!

Dear Yuletide Writer,

Hello, happy Yuletide, and thank you so much for writing for me! I am really excited to see whatever you come up with. Here are some ideas, but don't feel too bound by them if you have something more fun in mind. This letter got a bit long, but don't let that intimidate you--as long as you try to avoid the basic DNWs, I am going to be super happy to see fic for any of these fandoms. Don't worry about following a specific prompt if that's not where your ideas go. :)

Thanks again and happy writing!

Anybody read the first issue of Batman and Robin Eternal? I really really don't want to get sucked into a weekly, but CASS. Is it good, or worth reading just for her? The preview art looks good and I love her new costume.
