Go Yuletide!

My internet access was down most of last week - the week Yuletide signups were happening. I'd been dithering over whether to bother this year. I've got so many fics in progress that taking on another seemed, uh, unwise. Especially as the window to write seems to shrink every year. But when it looked like I might miss signups, I realised I really wanted to do it.

I got in just under the wire. And this morning I got my assignment. I was surprised. Not only was there a request for a fandom I offered, but another of the requests was a show I know very well. I hadn't offered it because I thought requests in that fandom would be, well, stuff I wouldn't like to write. But this gave me a choice of prompts.

When I first read the requests, I thought I would write in the fandom I didn't offer. But nine hours later I'm almost done with a first draft in the other one. Guess I got inspired. I never write this fast! (Of course, my first drafts are very rough: this will take a while to polish. But it's a fab start!)
