Holiday fests are upon us!

[valis2]

By this time tomorrow, we'll all be waist-deep in stories. I'm so excited!

Have partially reread the snupin I wrote...as usual, I like it a lot, and wince about its weaknesses. But enough about my insecurities.

That's why I love these fests so much. The anonymous nature of the author means that people will often try the story based on pairing and premise alone. It's the author's job to pull them through the plot in an interesting manner. Also, it's a chance to get new people to read your work. I'm very excited.

I do love to see the guessing game as well. I'm absolutely terrible at it. I can usually only figure out a few, and that's usually based on a lucky guess.

So now I have to work on plotting out the Giant Trip of Doom, that looong trip I took earlier this year that I'm going to try to duplicate next Spring. *crosses fingers* There are so many hours of work tied into this, long before I step foot in my car, in fact. I'm not looking forward to it.

Also, I can't find my atlas, which is making me mental.

A big happy round of confetti to all fest mods and participants. Everyone works so hard on producing lovely things for this month! I'm so looking forward to it. *throws HP-themed confetti into the air*

Y'know, I keep forgetting that I get a fic in exchange, too. I just remembered it today, and squeed. Last year I was unbelievably lucky enough to get fic from one of my all-time favorite writers, kaiz, and boy, that probably spoiled me forever. heh. I can't wait to see what happens!

Most beloved,

this is a bit off topic, but I would really like to send you a Christmas card... May I have your address, if it is possible?

My email is Logospilgrim at aol dot com :-)

Oh, wow! Certainly, will email you. :) *hugs*

So where do I read this group of fics? I'm thinking you have said this but my brain is full of gum and fuzzy socks and gunk. Grin.

lupin_snape. It is, of course, a slash pairing, and there are many NC-17 fics, so if that isn't your cup of tea, I wouldn't follow the fest.

Thanks. It's usually Snarry I read but anything Snape I like so I'll definotly check this out. Probably won't be able to guess yours though.

Have you sent me your submission yet? If so, I haven't got it. The last thing I've had from you was on the 23rd, and IIRC, you said you'd be finishing up the next day. Just checking to make sure nothing has gone astray. :)

Oh no! Honestly, I almost emailed you about it today to make certain you had received it (because I hadn't received an email), but I figured you had your hands full and I didn't want to be annoying.

I actually mailed it on the 26th! wah!

Am going to try to mail it to you again. Will try forwarding the original, and sending you a fresh copy, we'll see which works!
