Merry Christmas!

Yes, this is the magical day in summer on which we detect the first gingerbread in the stores.

Signed up for merry_smutmas and am almost crossing fingers I won't make it. Told hummelchen about it last week and she scolded me for over ten minutes (until we had to run to see Pirates of the Carribean 2), because I'd asked her after signing up for reversathon to dissuade me if I should ever try to succumb to Fest Madness (TM) again... But heck, I'll have the time, and can never resist, and I whined so much over not being around for signups last year, so...

Heh. How first trying the first, and if that fails, trying the second? But considering signups are at about 300 with hours yet to go, it doesn't look like that much of a risk :).

Well, well, well (L. says in Gary Oldman-"True Romance" voice)... and are you quite sure you won't try and have a go at harry_holidays, should Option One be unavailable? :)

Torn between "NO!" and "But it's Anne running it..." :). How about yourself? Or was that recent post of yours related to treading carefully around challenges?

Torn between "NO!" and "But it's Anne running it..." Why am I not surprised =). And if we tried to help you stay away from fests (nguhhh trying! real.. hard here! Can you tell? *g*) we'd deprive ourselves of some great fiction.
I probably won't tackle any, which has less to do with challenges (no well, wait - fact is that I put myself under insane pressure) than with needing to recalibrate, to find my voice again, to define where I stand and what stories I want to tell. Oh gods the melodrama! Can I sound any whinier. Maybe just a passing side effect of too much kerazee. That said, I *love* the fests, they give me a warm tingly feeling - so many great stories have been written for them! ♥
