Or some such winterval-fest :-)
I wrote two stories for Yuletide. One might suppose with the first that I'm developing a theme ;-)
Home for Christmas is a Biggles story, set straight after The Last Show in The Camels are Coming, wherein Biggles is captured by the Germans and isn't having any, thank you. Bizarrely, I wasn't matched on Biggles, but it was there, and I got jumped by an idea. I still have thoughts about the request I was matched on. forlornhope42 helped me with a lot of the German, and lavvyan didn't run for the hills when I pounced on her for emergency last second translations *g* Thank you both. Biggles' German, btw, is deliberately wrong :-)
The Long Dance, a (700 word) coda to Dogsbody by Diana Wynne Jones. Kathleen waits and the years turn, might be a suitable summary. I'm particularly pleased by the dogs' names, which are all stars in Canis Major :-) I'm less than pleased by calling a zoi a zor, but no matter.
And I wrote a story for sga_santa too. Red Flowers (part one) | Part Two | Part Three, or Complete story on my website. It's a teamfic, wherein they visit a city called Canlaon and discover how double-edged 'caveat emptor' can be. Betad by mandragora1, alyse and moonlettuce, bless them.
( Red Flowers wittering )
