Happy New Year!

(And that is hopefully-correct New Years’ greetings off of Omniglot, of every language I’ve studied except Latin.)

Yuletide story notes 2010

So, Yuletide 2010 in quick review (and last Yuletide post until November, I hope):

As I put in my recs post on the main Yuletide comm, this year I did pretty much everything: I wrote fic, wrote more fic, hippoed, beta’d, pinch hit, and recommended. I wrote a lot of fic, too, 11 pieces in the end – not counting two that, for one reason or another, didn’t get posted to Yuletide (one I just decided was not what I wanted to bonus-gift my recipient with, and the other posted non-Yuletide by accident). A lot of my Yuletide fics this year are not showing a lot of hits right now, but I suspect they’ll be up there if/when we get the hit counts from the static pages added in.

I was fortunate to get three recs: one for “Lay Your Body Down”, two for “Versal and Marginalia”. I was also very happy with the people who pitched in when three of my stories weren’t getting any reviews, and for Jadelennox, who probably is responsible for “Lay Your Body Down” getting one heck of a hit rate for a fic based on an obscure YA book! I still have one missing recipient (hasn’t updated their journal since the week before Yuletide opened, and I’m getting kind of worried about them), but the other nine sent me nice comments. And I have to say that I never thought quiet little “Versal and Marginalia” would out-hitcount everything else I wrote this year, even before getting recs, especially since I didn’t meet the source material (Mulan) until mid-December!

My fic for this year was “Ordinary” which is all that I asked for, and the amazing alianora wrote it for me. I kind of guessed the writer was big on Rihito/Mei, but I hadn’t guessed it was her!

And, as I did last year, some notes under the cut:

I've gone without a poll for a while, so under the cut is one regarding posting of Yuletide fics to ffn, and/or translating them and posting them to AO3.
