From: [personal profile] rachelmanija
name: [personal profile] edonohana/Edo no Hana (fic); rachelmanija (Rachel) everything else.

fandoms: I'm not active in fandom per se, but I'm currently into lots of manga and anime and books and cooking/dance/fashion reality shows.

Yuletide years: 5, I think, including my first year when I defaulted.

I wrote: This year: My Yuletide assignment, for Anne McCaffrey's Dragonriders of Pern novels, was The Ballad of Mirrim and Menolly's Ride, for [personal profile] calenlily. Menolly, Mirrim, and Mirrim's dragon Path travel through times that were, will be, and might have been to warn Pern of a deadly new threat.

The Marvels We Have Seen, from Anne McCaffrey's Dragonriders of Pern, was a Treat for [personal profile] boosette, who wrote the lovely Menolly-centric Lend Song a Sweeter Grace last year. A fire lizard mating flight brings Mirrim and Menolly closer together in more ways than one.

Will You Bloom Bright And Fierce was a Yuletide Treat for [personal profile] teaotter, who wrote the fabulous Steerswoman story Dumb Animals last year. It's based on the gorgeous Dave Carter and Tracy Grammar song The Disappearing Man. The story itself requires no familiarity with the song or anything else.

Thistledown. From Ursula K. Le Guin's Earthsea series, accessible if you've read the first book. For Doire, who requested something about Vetch, one of my favorite characters. The deeds of women are not often written into songs.

Color All Days Blue, But Save One For Many Colors. For Shannon C, who requested a cracky crossover with V. C. Andrews' Flowers in the Attic.

Last year I wrote The Star in the Sapphire. Epic (8000 words!), plotty story based on L. J. Smith's Secret Circle trilogy, about teenage witches.

The Drop. Spooks/MI-5. Tom Quinn can't let go of his past.

Cherry Ames, Summer Camp Nurse. Based on the Cherry Ames series written in the 1940s-1950s, about a very dedicated nurse with cheeks red as cherries. PG-rated femmeslash.

In 2007 I wrote All the King's Men. Godchild. Rated R. At least. Contains lots of explicit and inventive sex, including BDSM and some mindgames, but all consensual.

City of Angels. Written for Francesca Lia Block's Weetzie Bat series, but I think it stands on its own. The prompt was "make this New Yorker miss Los Angeles."

Lucky. Er, Dragonlance. I had way too much fun writing this one.

In 2006 I wrote The Taste of Honey. Probably the most popular story I've ever written. I love it too. Death, Dream, and a city.

Blood and Ink for Lloyd Alexander's Westmark. There's always another battle.

The Rose of Naamah. The young Phedre runs into Melisandre at a ball. Contains explicit sex and extreme consensual masochism.

The Story of Marli-Hrair and the Black Rabbit of Inle.

primary journal/blogspace: LJ.

journaling habits: absolutely anything from travel journals to book reviews. People especially seem to enjoy my "awesomely bad books" tag.
