Niki's Obsessions

Hello, Dear Mysterious Writer!

Here are my “optional details”: some specific kinks and squicks as well as some actual prompts (which are there only to nudge your creative juices, you are always welcome to ignore them). I have also tried to tell you a little what I like about these fandoms, and just because there is more text for some, it doesn't mean I don't love them each equally, or that I would be less happy to receive a story in one. I've spent a year thinking about my nominations and requests, trust me, they are here because I really, really want those stories, and I am super happy that you are here because you love one (or more) of these wonderful, wonderful worlds!

Okay, all this gushing might get irritating. I'll try to restrain myself.

My previous Yuletide letters are still in here somewhere, and can be found under the tag “Yuletide”. You are hereby cordially invited to stalk;)

Happy writing, dear writer, I hope you can actually have fun doing it. And may your presents be multiple this Yuletide:)

It's that time of the year again... Fannish December Exchanges

My Yuletide present was a Miami Vice story by Daytonagirl

In Lewis Secret Santa I got a gorgeous, gorgeous fanmix made by fromward. Seriously, go listen to it now!

In Captain America/Iron Man Secret Santa I received a wonderful story by valtyr called Some Sunny Day, an AU where Tony was four when Steve went missing. Awww.


For Yuletide I wrote a Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic story War Dance for
Capella, didn't finish any treats so might do some Resolution stories. (HA! That goes so well every year...)

I made Lewis icons for garryowen

...and wrote my first ever actual fic for Captain America/Iron Man for the comm Secret Santa: Wood You Like to Join Me for grand_duc (who happened to be my Santa in 2010 exchange;)

I finished everything! Thanks mostly to my betas! Now I might repost things to my journal. Maybe do the year in fic meme. Or something.

Yeah, sorta late with this. RL. (And chronic laziness.)

Things I got:

In cap_ironman Secret Santa, Everyone's a Critic by grand_duc, a Steve Rogers/Tony Stark (Captain America/Iron Man) story with scrap books. It's adorable, funny and just all in all a delightful read.

In Yuletide I got three stories for three of my four fandoms!

The Whelp by Val Mora - a beautiful, beautiful story that might just be the first fic ever about Wulf and Eadwacer. And seeing that the source is a poem of some twenty lines, you should just go read the story. It is awesome.

Worth It by Franzeska for Miami Vice (TV), a wonderful insight to the episode "Better Living Through Chemistry" and Sonny and Rico's relationship. There is not enough love for this little fic in the archive so go ahead and appreciate it!

Sleeping Arrangements, also by Val Mora, for Banlieue 13 (which is a kick-ass movie you should totally watch anyway) which is sweet and hurty and just begging for a sequel.

Things I made:

I drew an untitled picture for muccamukk who was polite enough to like it (or at least say so;)

( Here, you can take a look behind the fake cut, too. )

I wrote Not Even Duct Tape Could Fix This Day A MacGyver gen fic for Lightcudder. She offered no prompt beyond the fandom and the character so I debated for weeks whether I should write a fun little gen story or an epic gay love story... ;) One day I will write the epic gay story, too, for "Trumbo's World", just you wait. But for now, there is Mac trying to watch his ice hockey game and the universe conspiring against it.
