oh right! the other thing to post about yuletide is that I wrote a fic for yuletide! This year I had the great luck to be assigned to write for the fandom that I am perhaps MOST qualified to write: The Blue Castle, a book that I have reread endlessly to the point where I have thoughtfully considered just about every possible aspect of the narrative, and know all sorts of little details in it by heart.
I ended up deciding to write a fic set post-canon, exploring what their decision to live part-time in Montreal would look like, and I dove whole-heartedly into researching the Montreal of the late 1920's so I could depict it as accurately as possible. I also worked hard to shoehorn absolutely as much nature description into the narrative as I possibly could, and was pleased to fit in some things I feel strongly about (LET VALANCY HAVE FEMALE FRIENDS WHO STAY ALIVE). I'm very proud of the fic that resulted!
