in two worlds

Things I am doing instead of writing my Yuletide:

+ writing post-Covenant Nick/Alan
+ writing an odd Highlander/Young Wizards crossover in which Nita is trying to figure out whether she needs to stop the Gathering, and also is having tea with Methos
+ reading more Vorkosigan books
+ talking about absurd Killjoys/RocknRolla fusion fic with [personal profile] feverbeats

Things I am not doing instead of writing my Yuletide:

+ packing

I still love my Yuletide! And I am over word count, so that isn't an issue. I just have this absurd notion that my Yuletide needs plot, and the plot is being rather shy. Ah well. How goes everyone else's Yuletide writing?

Thing I have been doing instead of my Yuletide: squeaking with delight at seeing Ms. Rees Brennan has just put up the first half of a story set during Covenant! A story about Nick and Jamie becoming friends, which is delightful, and also Jamie has MANY FEELINGS, which makes me want to cuddle him and feed him soup.

It's wonderful. Yay for authors who fic their own series!

Oh, you totally should, ASAP. In some ways I almost like them better than the books, except that they wouldn't quite work without the context of the books. They also really illuminate certain characters - I wasn't really interested in Gerald at all until I read his story; at the same time, there's this other story about demonic possession, which is TERRIFYING, and which has basically ensured that, however interesting or sympathetic the magicians (other than Jamie, of course) may seem to be at times, I will never be getting over them giving people to demons. *shudder*

The one about Olivia and Marie and Daniel is lovely. And "Nick's First Word" is one of my favorite things ever.
