As the train rumbled north and the sunlight filtered through the trees, Margaret tried to pin down precisely what she was feeling.

Hi! Oh, heck, things have been all over the place. I have life updates and general blather to share, but first: YULETIDE!

I GOT TWO STORIES! TWO AMAZING, INCREDIBLE, FANTASTIC, SUPERFUN STORIES! One was a treat written for me by the lovely, lovely hiddencait!

The first one is a Moon-Spinners story! MOON-SPINNERS! EEEEEE! It's a proper mystery and Nikky is daring and brilliant. I can just see Hayley Mills in this.

“I have to say, this whole experience with you and Scott has really made me take a closer look at literary tropes,” Kylie says after a few minutes. “Clearly Scott’s been on some kind of hero’s journey. But, Fran, you’ve been a wonderful example of a fairy tale.” Life goes on after the Pan Pacifics.

I'll return later with fings. Happy Thursday! ♥

Hello! I'm back home in the UK and darn glad to be here. I had a fabulous time in the states and managed to not gain a billion pounds whilst still eating WAY too much. (Best meal? Fried catfish, hushpuppies, onion rings, fried pickles and fried okra, along with a gallon of sweet iced tea. What? It was in Mississippi. :D)

I'll post later about how things went and do an end-of-year wrap up, but first! YULETIDE!

I wrote the following Ghostbusters fic with Winston and Egon.

Summary:

Considering Winston’s first day as a Ghostbuster included a crash course on the containment system and how to use a proton pack and then his second day involved three back to back busts which left him covered head to toe in slime, Winston wasn’t sure what his third day on the job would bring.

My most adorable gift was a Jonathan Creek fic and it just makes me smile and feel all warm inside.

Happy New Year, everyone! ♥

Happy Boxing Day, everyone!

I come bearing fic recs! These two stories were written all for me and I'm thrilled beyond measure.

My Yuletide Santa wrote me Winslow Boy fic. It has Catherine and Robert being subtle and then not so subtle and there is a discussion of hats and it's just charming.

Hearts at Peace. It's so lovely.

Annnd my bestest friend ever, fringedweller wrote me a fic for the mccoy_chapel Fic Exchange.

It's awesome! There's dancing and Jim does the Hustle. *flails* It's everything I love about McCoy and Chapel. Go. Read. Now!

It Takes Two.

I hope everyone is having a good holiday. I've eaten way too much and people really need to stop making cookies. :D

Hello!

I am finally back from my holiday with the parental units and parental unit in-laws.

I just have to share the gorgeous fic I got from the amazing prpl_pen for Yuletide this year.

Straying From the Path It's from Company of Wolves, the movie and story by Angela Carter and it is beautiful! Go read and tell the author how lovely it is.

I had a great time writing Truly, He Hadn't for Celandine. It was a very fun challenge.

More Yuletide recs will be forthcoming.
