Hi, dear Author, you are my new favorite person for writing me this fic, whatever it is.

A few basic things before we dive into the specifics of the fandoms. I'd like kink left out as much as possible -- it isn't that I don't enjoy a good story with kink, I'm just not sure how well kink would fit in with most of the requests I've made. (That having been said, if you WANT to write me kink, I'd like the milder side of it as opposed to the darker side.)

I like happy endings, but even more than that I like angst. I LOVE angst, actually. If you can do an angsty fic that has a happy ending -- or even just a "happy for now" ending -- then have at it and I will love it to bits. (I'll love anything you write me, but angst is my favorite thing ever, pretty much.)

I don't like one character triumphing over enough at the cost of the other person's dignity or putting another character down just for the sake of putting them down (it's different if the character doing it is the kind of character who WOULD do it).

And now, on with the show!

( Some fandom specifics ahead. )

So to sum up, Dear Author: Thank you and you rock.

Finished my Yuletide fic, woo! All I need to do now is a quick edit -- because I know there's a couple bits that didn't fit right last night but I was too tired to fix them then -- and then title and summary before posting.

Now on to my pinch hit! Need to find my copy of that canon so I can watch the first hour or so to refresh my brain.

I'm also going to go and do some fandom_stocking stuff today. I have over 80 in my memories, but not all are getting ficlets -- some people are getting recs, some are getting fic IOUs because I need a canon refresh first, some are just getting holiday well wishes, and one person's getting tea recommendations.

Have yet to start my Yuletide fic, oh dear God.

Am spending some time sitting downstairs with my parents and playing the good little child, then after they go to bed I'm gonna watch my canon again and refresh my brain so I can write. Because I just need to watch it again and then I'm good to go.

After that, I get to rewatch the canon for my pinch hit I picked up. Thankfully it's an easy assignment.

So I haven't even written my Yuletide fic yet. The logical thing to do would be to rewatch the canon and then write it, right? Right.

So what did I do? Went out and got myself a pinch hit to write, too. *facepalm* But that's due two days after my actual assignment, so I'm okay. I'm just amused at myself because they are just two so radically different assignments.

Need to start using this thing more, especially in light of LJ being the giant bag of fail that it is.

My allergies are kicking my ass right now. Can't breathe through my left nostril, which is oh so fun.

Dad was a jackass tonight and now he's not talking to mom. Again. Such is my life.

Have to drag Christmas presents to work tomorrow for people. Oof, lots of stuff.

Have done two Yuletide pinch hits and my third is half done, but I know where I'm going with it. Gonna finish it tomorrow night. Had to default on a pinch hit because I discovered after the fact that I wouldn't have any time on the 24th to work on it, which meant I had three pinch hits to write between tonight and tomorrow night. And since it would've also required a canon re-read and me flipping through the books for details, I figured it was best I just default on that one.

So of the two pinch hits I've finished, I'm actually okay with both of them. And given how critical I am of myself and my work, this is the equivalent of "happy" with both of them.

Ugh. Still can't breathe. Think I may just go to bed.
