I've been reading Yuletide fic all day while it's blizzarding outside, so it's possible that my brain has warped and melted by this point and I am hallucinating the existence of an Old Spice Guy-Beowulf crossover story. If so, I wish you could have seen it, because it was brilliant.

Now, alas, to bed, where I'll probably have some sort of Yuletide-influenced dream about Emerson Cod, Anne Bronte, Abed from Community and Snow White drinking coffee together after battling zombies on a zeppelin. They'll probably all be speaking in iambic pentameter. In Latin. I'm looking forward to it.

<3 to all the authors for saving me from snowy Sunday tedium!

I always feel a little bit out of step with Yuletide. Like, I totally see why it's fun to do the mad dash of reading and reccing before the reveal, but I'm usually offline more around Christmas, and - that's a lot of fic! But then I haven't read very much, and the authors are revealed and all the recs slide off my flist and into oblivion, and even though, intellectually, I know that the stories are there all year, it winds up feeling like I've missed the boat and I end up having read maybe half a dozen of them.

That's not a complaint, it's just an accounting of yearly personal fail. *g*

But this year, ho ho, I have means, motive AND opportunity to do better, and thus:

Yikes, that's just the tip of the iceberg - must read more!

Also, for the record, I am clearly contributing to people's writerly angst by repeatedly opening bunches of Yuletide stories in tabs, going "asdkfjiglej, TOO MANY TABS," closing them all and then going back to read one by one. I've hit a bunch of stories five or six times. SORRY.
