Firstly: Is [community profile] fandom_stocking happening this year? Anyone know?

Secondly, I spotted this over with [personal profile] cereta:

Step One:
Make a post. It can be public or friends only, whatever you're most comfortable with. The post should contain your list of ten holiday wishes, and these wishes can be anything - from simple (fan fiction written about your favorite pairing), to medium (a DVD you want), to really extravagant (a brand new laptop or car).

Just make sure these are wishes for things you really truly want.

Step Two:
Skim through your friends list and see who has posted their own wish lists. Then - and this is the most important part - if you find a wish you can grant, and it's in your heart to do so, make sure that person’s wish comes true.

Sometimes a person's trash is another person’s treasure. If you have a leather jacket you don't want or a gift certificate you’re never going to use, give it to someone who wants it.

Step Three:
Post this wish list any time after November 1st. Then repost it two weeks before Christmas.

You needn't spend money on these wishes unless you want to. The point isn't to put people out, it's to provide everyone a chance to be someone else's holiday fairy - to spread the joy.

Gifts can be made anonymously or not, it's your call.

There are no rules with this project, no guarantees, and no strings attached. Just...wish, and it might come true. Give, and you might receive. And you'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special.

wishlist: pretty simple, mostly fannish )

Don't forget to post your own wishlists, and I'll see what I can do...

7th Jan - how awesome are pairings of emotionally reserved/ruthless women and more emotionally open men?

The simple answer to this is "really awesome".

The complex answer is...complex.

switching things up, emotional honesty, and relationship dynamics )

...or did you want me to ramble about my favourite pairings? Because I can do that, too!

Note: I've shifted topics along so I get weekends free...

TITLE: Legends Of Camelot - The Dragon's Son
AUTHOR: Tielan
SUMMARY: Long ago and far away, a prince grew to maturity among his people. Strong in his heritage, cunning in his gifts, confident in his birthright, he set out through the land to spread his rule abroad.
PAIRING: Arthur/Gwen
CHARACTERS: Arthur, Merlin, Morgana, Lancelot, Gwen
RATING: PG-13
NOTES: This is a sequel to my first ever Merlin fic "The King Of Elfland's Daughter", and it is advisable to read that first. The Dragon's Son was supposed to be a short-ish fic and ended up being 16,000 words; this isn't unusual with my fic, but it never ceases to be annoying. The storyline goes AU after 2.04 Lancelot and Guinevere since the 2nd half of Season Two is going to completely Joss this story.

So many thanks go to my alphas and betas, [personal profile] crayford, [personal profile] imigination, and [personal profile] greenconverses, all of whom supported me while I worked my way through this, let me bounce ideas, thoughts, and panic attacks off them, generally chatter at them, and were lovely and helpful and clarifying and awesome!
