yuletide '08 friending fest!

[glass_icarus]

hello, everyone! :D it's that time of year again...

a couple years ago, i figured that a friending fest would be an excellent way to keep the Yuletide/obscure fandom love going strong. we all need a little extra holiday cheer, don't we? therefore, if you're interested in meeting people in the same teeny-tiny fandoms, pimping out your own stories for a little extra love, and making new friends for the new year, just comment below with the following!

to get the ball rolling:

name: glass_icarus/Yvonne

fandoms: thus far, i've written in HP, Good Omens, Guy Gavriel Kay, His Dark Materials, Robin McKinley, Saiyuki, Kyou Kara Maou, Wild Adapter, Stigma, Shounen Onmyouji, and Tamora Pierce fandoms. i'm also a fan of David Eddings, Diana Wynne Jones, Garth Nix, Gravitation, Loveless, and many, many other things (a fuller list of fandoms can be found here). i'll read anything i know, even vaguely (House, Dexter, Ocean's 11, etc.), and several things i don't (Supernatural, SGA).

Yuletide years: 3! :)

i wrote: this year, i wrote like a whole almond (Wild Adapter) and piece of sky (Stigma).
last year, i wrote Aurora Borealis (His Dark Materials), Flowerfire: Winter's End (Fionavar Tapestry), a tale of first meetings (Damar), Letters from Rajmuat (Tamora Pierce- Tortall series), a solitary blue (Fionavar), and touch (Shounen Onmyouji).
in 2006, which was my first Yuletide, i wrote love, do you remember my name (Fionavar), as well as a gift-fic for Yuletiders in the Fionavar-verse, The Longest Road, which is posted here.

journaling habits: depending on my mood, you'll come across fandom or RL. the RL stuff is under f-lock, but my writing/fandom stuff is public.

hobbies/interests/anything else you'd like to add: i love books (obviously), anything art-and-music related, travel, badminton, tea, and DANCE (ballroom, bhangra, and many other kinds), although most of my flailing on LJ is about the first two things.

Comments

:D!

[kittydesade.livejournal.com]

Name: kittydesade/Jag, Kitty

Fandoms: ...Uh. Lots. The Mentalist, Supernatural, CSI: NY, The Dresden Files, Criminal Minds, The Covenant, Babylon 5, Akira, Farscape, Joss Whedon, Rome, Carnivale, Deadwood, Kushiel series, Laurell K Hamilton's Fairy Porn... The list goes on.

Yuletide Years: 3, I think

I wrote: A lot. here (http://kittydesade.livejournal.com/551375.html) is the list! Echo Location in The Cell, The Midnight Coalition in Akira, and a bunch of Mentalist fic for Treats because I was bored at work.

Journaling habits: These days (as a recent development of courtesan school) I post my daily practice of Russian, German, and my daily Tarot study every weekday. And usually appended to the languages are random bits. And I post about my life pretty often. I friends-lock almost nothing. My life is not that interesting and ... yeah. The only thing I really friends-lock is really private stuff and original writing I want to keep for copyright porpoises.

Hobbies/Interests/Anything else: I'm a linguaphile, I speak English, Spanish, French, a smattering of Japanese, and am currently (as said above) studying Russian and German and possibly eventually helping tutor people in Spanish and French. I love dance (ballet/modern and bellydance at the moment, I also participate in English Country dance twice a month), handicrafts, writing. I've published a few short stories and am working on finishing my second major get-a-novel-published project. Um. I live in hippieville.

[escritoireazul.livejournal.com]

Your interests and fandoms sound very interesting, and I've added you to my reading list.

[anima-mecanique.livejournal.com]

Name: Jack of None

Fandoms: I am currently the internet's most prolific writer of ancient Roman poet slash. Not that that's saying much. Fandoms I have written include:
Raffles: The Amateur Cracksman
The Arséne Lupin series
The Fantômas series
Sherlock Holmes
Princess Tutu
Chrono Trigger
Final Fantasies 4 and 6
Earthbound
Around the World in Eighty Days
Exalted
The Great Mouse Detective

In general I like turn-of-the-century detective/adventure series and pulp (especially if they involve criminals), old video games, and some anime. There is also a lot of stuff I like but have not written, which consists mostly of YA fantasy

Right now I write a hell of a lot of FF4 fanfic, and am working on some stuff in the Avatar: The Last Airbender fandom.

Yuletide Years: This is my first :)

I Wrote: Pecca Fortiter (http://yuletidetreasure.org/archive/65/peccafortiter.html) (Captain Blood), See You On the Dark Side of the Moon (http://yuletidetreasure.org/archive/84/seeyou.html) (Earthbound/Mother 2), and Diplomatic Relations (http://yuletidetreasure.org/archive/83/diplomaticrelations.html) (Exalted).

Journaling Habits: Most of it is unlocked; for a long time my fanfiction was under a "fanfiction friends" filter, but lately I have started posting stuff in my fic journal, adsentatiuncula. I talk about RL a decent amount, but since my life lately revolves around library school and role-playing games I doubt you will notice much difference, except for the fact that I might once in a while talk about my bunny. Right now I am obsessed with turn-of-the-century pulp, so you will hear a lot about that.

Interests: YA fantasy, pulp, steampunk, tabletop roleplaying (my favorites are Exalted, Unknown Armies, Spirit of the Century, and Weapons of the Gods), game design and theory, drawing, jewelry-making, video games (I play WoW and TF2!), horror movies and manga, coffee and tea, rats, bunnies.

Name: minkhollow (My fic LJ is sto_helit_lace.)

fandoms: Daria, Good Omens, Discworld, Rent, Iron Man (film), Sneakers, Villains By Necessity (When left to my own devices, I am prone to wacky crossovers. And when I say wacky, I mean 'vaguely epic Sneakers/Harry Potter.' XD)

Yuletide years: This was my first!

I wrote: Second Wind and A Matter of Presentation, a couple of Sneakers fics.

journaling habits: At present, fannish squee and RL frustrations (what do you do with a B.A. in English, especially in this economy?). Sometimes I post a lot, other times I'll got for a week or more without updating my main account. (Usually, in those cases, I'm posting fic or RPing. Said RPing tends toward the panfandom.)

hobbies/interests/anything else you'd like to add: I'm an avid reader, I listen to all kinds of music and wish I had the funds for a concert (seriously, I haven't been to one since August!), and I'm hoping to get my original stuff published.

journaling habits: Current events, stuff I'm reading/writing/watching/cooking, occasional fannish observations. Fic and other fannish stuff goes on my fandom journal on Journalfen (easy to find, really). And I've also got a fannish twitter feed (http://twitter.com/lingeanare).

hobbies/interests/anything else you'd like to add: Music nerd, SF nerd, collector of action figures, cat owner, writer of stuff working on first novel and a TV spec script, and really just sort of an all-around dork.

name: Mo is my pseudonym. Mofic is my lj name. Dale is my real name.

fandoms: I mostly write X-Men movieverse and read in a variety of fandoms, but generally not tv ones.

Yuletide years: (was this your first Yuletide, or your fourth?) This was my first time doing Yuletide.

journaling habits: I write about a bunch of things. I post fanfic and fanfic meta. I write political commentary (particularly during 2008). I do movie and book reviews. I write about family stuff. I rarely put anything behind a friends lock. I use cuts on all long posts.

hobbies/interests/anything else you'd like to add: My default icon is me - a very long time ago - holding a baby orangutan.
More info at my profile: http://mofic.livejournal.com/profile

[irisbleufic.livejournal.com]

[I've added you, because I can never have too many fellow GO fans on my flist!]

Name: Adrienne (a.k.a. irisbleufic or just plain irisbleu)

Fandoms: Too many to sanely list in this comment, but if you click here (http://irisbleufic.livejournal.com/51709.html), they're listed (as fic-tags) for your convenience! My primary ones, though, are Good Omens, Hot Fuzz, Toy Soldiers, Everything Is Illuminated, and a handful of obscure medieval epics.

Yuletide years: 2008 was my fourth!

I wrote: In 2005, I wrote Hunters (http://www.yuletidetreasure.org/archive/15/hunters.html) as a New Year's Resolution in order to become eligible to participate for the first time - and the story I wrote that year in the Exchange proper is Men Well Met (http://www.yuletidetreasure.org/archive/15/menwell.html). In 2006, I wrote The Listening Game (http://www.yuletidetreasure.org/archive/21/thelistening.html), and in 2007, for the same fandom, I wrote Some Small Town, One Different Summer (http://www.yuletidetreasure.org/archive/36/somesmall.html). Finally, in 2008, I wrote Tokens of Affection (http://www.yuletidetreasure.org/archive/60/tokensof.html). The archive seems to think I also wrote two Gundam Wing stories, but those are NOT, in fact, mine. They appear to belong to an Adrienne who hasn't participated for some time now!

Journaling habits: I update fairly regularly, with both fic and meta-commentary. There's occasional RL intrusion, but not much - that's what my other account is for (and that's info I only broadcast locked to my flist).

Hobbies/interests/anything else: I'm an insomniac graduate student. I love good food and excellent wine. I'm obsessive to a fault, but it's proved to be a useful survival skill. Oh, and I like shiny things. A lot.

[glass-icarus.livejournal.com]

hee! i agree with that statement! *adds back* :D also, i love that you wrote food under your interests/hobbies; it's a running joke among my RL friends that we simply don't make friends with people who don't appreciate food/eating. *g*

[ruffwriter.livejournal.com]

I love new friends~

name: Becky, which is also my Yuletide pen name.

fandoms: Monster, Mushishi, Princess Tutu, xxxHOLiC, Baccano!, Natsume Yuujinchou, Black Lagoon, Ergo Proxy, Okami, Tales of the Abyss, Onmyoji, Little Miss Sunshine, and about 10,000 book fandoms (but especially Diana Wynne Jones!)

Yuletide years: This was my second Yuletide!

I wrote: This year, I wrote The Traces of Spring (http://yuletidetreasure.org/archive/66/thetraces.html) for the Onmyoji movies, Eschewing Protocol (http://yuletidetreasure.org/archive/76/eschewingprotocol.html) for Diana Gabaldon's Lord John books, Deluge (http://yuletidetreasure.org/archive/80/deluge.html) for Mushishi, and Something Approaching Normalcy (http://yuletidetreasure.org/archive/fandom_natsume_yuujinchou_aka_natsumes_book_of_friends_anime_or_manga.html) for Natsume Yuujinchou. Last year, I wrote Hair of the Dog (http://yuletidetreasure.org/archive/37/hairof.html) in the Black Lagoon fandom, and Fearless (http://yuletidetreasure.org/archive/50/fearless.html) in the Mushishi fandom.

journaling habits: Just about everything, which is why I have a lot of filters! If I need to use my journal to vent, it's filtered down to my closest friends, so people who don't care don't have to see it. General life (I'm going to be studying abroad in Japan in March, so probably some crazy stories/pictures from that) and fandom posts are the most common, and writing posts are fairly regular, as well. Those writing posts are usually original fic, but sometimes fanfic. And sometimes I do drabble requests, although finishing them is another matter...

hobbies/interests/anything else you'd like to add: I love to read and write, and I'm an East Asian studies major and third year Japanese language student, so I love to babble about those kinds of things on occasion.

You sound very interesting, so I've added you.

A Letter Full of News (http://www.yuletidetreasure.org/archive/76/aletter.html) (Jane Austen-Persuasion) 2008


Journaling habits: I post somewhat erratically on my LJ, mostly about my life and the world. I have a fic journal, but haven't posted much to it yet. Something to remedy this year!

Hobbies/interests/anything else you'd like to add: Huge movie buff. I love music and I love to sing. I love to read, mostly mysteries and fantasy, but also books on the arts and costume history. I'm a costume historian, specializing in the 19th century, and I'm a complete aesthete. I watch lots of TV. I love to dance.

More Hamlet fic is always a good thing! Mind if I add you? :)

journaling habits: I post fairly regularly, on RL and fandoms stuff.

hobbies/interests/anything else you'd like to add: I watch lots of different shows, read a variety of books, fiction and non, and have a thing for both postmodernism and various bits of history. Classical buff, poetry buff, theory buff, gallery/museum-obsessed, left-leaning and very opinionated. I'm currently working in international development and studying French and Arabic, so will probably also blog about the state of the world, and the state of my brain - probably not in that order.

[leobrat.livejournal.com]

Oh my Lord, I've *adored* your Gone With The Wind piece so very much! (And yet, I've been delinquent on commenting on it. Will get to it, I swear.) I would love to friend you if you don't mind. :)

ctrl-v-ing all over the place from my other friendfest post because I am both long-winded and lazy!

[ediblestars.livejournal.com]

name: lj user="ediblestars" is just fine, but you can call me what you like
fandoms: are kind of a mixed bag at the moment! Historically, it's been FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS AND SOME MORE FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS, but I have my toes in all sorts of small-to-nonexistent fandoms. I like the Wainwright-McGarrigles an awful awful lot, though, and lately I've been really excited about Rufus/Ben Folds (seriously (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q01WCVrgQaU)), so there's that. I'm also sort of following several larger fandoms I never really seem to talk about (haha, sorry), among them bandom, House, The Office (US), and politislash.

This Yuletide, I requested RPF - Flight of the Conchords, RPF - Wainwright family, and The Lonely Island, and offered to write Achewood, LOLcats, Little Miss Sunshine, Millions, RPF - Flight of the Conchords, RPF - Wainwright family, and The Lonely Island.
Yuletide years: This is my second.
i wrote: Before You Understand (http://yuletidetreasure.org/archive/72/beforeyou.html), a Little Miss Sunshine fic for jacklemmon
journaling habits: Lots of fandom, lots of pointless observations, very few dispatches from my real life adventures. Actually, as of now my LJ front page is pretty typical of the ediblestars experience, so from the top down: quasi-year-in-review post, Rufus Wainwright in a sailor hat, lament on the future of these glasses (http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f272/entropyweasel/2979373617_17e6d9646e.jpg), Yuletide letter (written in November and backdated for the 25th), gif from the hug at the end of the "Careless Whisper" video, one of those numbered miniposts posts (with points on Cartoon Network's new RPG, boss vintage eyewear, the magic of Apple packaging, and Rufus Wainwright's total inability to make cookies), a link to All My Internet Friends, (http://allmyinternetfriends.com/) some scattered Christmas memes, and a confession that--under considerable duress--I googled "ben folds porn". But my journal is usually public, so feel free to skim.

The fic journal is edible_words, but it's been updated... sporadically, as of late.
hobbies/interests/anything else you'd like to add: Um, I just want to link everyone to the stories I received this year, because they are AMAZING with a capital AMAZING: Wolf, Moon (http://yuletidetreasure.org/archive/75/wolfmoon.html), which is Flight of the Conchords RPS set the night of Jemaine's bachelor party AND I LOVE IT, and won't you try to take care of yourself? (http://yuletidetreasure.org/archive/82/wontyou.html), which is Wainwrights RPF about Rufus and Martha's relationship through the years AND I LOVE IT.

[minviendha.livejournal.com]

Hee, I love new friends. :D

name: Lise
fandoms: An absurd amount of fantasy...lately Wheel of Time, Black Jewels Trilogy, Gentlemen Bastard Sequence, China Mieville and the Melusine series, but plenty of other things as well. And always looking for recommendations. *g* ...oh, and randomly have recently been in love with Dorothy Dunnett's Lymond Chronicles. And I dabble/am interested in a multitude of others.
Yuletide years: First year, and what a year it was.
i wrote: Far more than I should have. >.> A Brief Interlude (http://yuletidetreasure.org/archive/60/abrief.html) (Kushiel's Legacy), Visitors (http://yuletidetreasure.org/archive/76/visitors.html) (Nightlife), Moral Fibre (http://yuletidetreasure.org/archive/76/moralfibre.html) (Gentlemen Bastard Sequence), A Drink and Fair Warning (http://yuletidetreasure.org/archive/83/adrink.html) (Black Jewels Trilogy), A Reminder (http://yuletidetreasure.org/archive/80/areminder.html) (Black Jewels Trilogy), Sometimes We Forget (http://yuletidetreasure.org/archive/78/sometimeswe.html) (Melusine) and These Are Bad Days (http://yuletidetreasure.org/archive/78/theseare.html) (Melusine). Yeah, more than I should have.
journaling habits: Um. Random things about my life, pointless links, fandom things...a lot of rambling. Recent entries are largely locked.
hobbies/interests/anything else you'd like to add: books and writing (o rly), music, rp-ing and socializing with awesome people.

Journaling habits: My personal journal and fic journal are one in the same. I post fic whenever I finish something, which is less often than I would like, I squee at fandom, and I post about whats going on in my life all in the same space. Its not FLocked but if you do friend me, lemme know so I can friend you back.

Hobbies/interests/anything else you'd like to add: Nothing really.

[dirty-diana.livejournal.com]

Hey, I'm adding you because I am desperately in need of some Entourage friends. My regular friends think I've lost my mind. (And I generally just assume that people who don't add me back are squicked by the RPF or something, so I won't be offended if that's the case.)

[pyrefly.livejournal.com]

name: Piru or Nara
fandoms: Mass Effect, Suikoden, Xenosaga, Final Fantasy VII-XII & Tactics, d.gray-man, Air Gear, Gintama, X/1999, Viewfinder, lots of random BL mangas. Used to be active in Kyou Kara Maou!, Bleach, Vision of Escaflowne, and a few others. Basically, anime/manga and video games. Oh, and Firefly.
Yuletide years: Third year participating, but I lurked the year before I started participating.
i wrote: This year, I wrote Imprint On Her Heart (http://sachi.livejournal.com/11103.html) (Honey + Clover, Nomiya/Yamada, ~2.5K words) for my main assignment for chash, and Reveille (http://sachi.livejournal.com/11451.html) (Mass Effect, Jane Shepard/Liara, 6.5K words) as a pinch-hit for verstehen.
Last year, I wrote Quest for Perfection (http://sachi.livejournal.com/10706.html) (Antique Bakery, gen, ~3.5K words) for sexybee. My first year, I wrote Taking Forever by the Hand (http://sachi.livejournal.com/8681.html) (Yellow, Goh/Taki, ~12K words) for shanola22.
journaling habits: I try to keep this one mostly fandom-related but since I don't have as much time for fandom anymore, there's RL-related stuff in f-locked posts.
hobbies/interests/anything else you'd like to add: I do lots of art & design & photography but not fandom-related; it's what I'm majoring in. um, I like to sew and cook and dance.

[puella-nerdii.livejournal.com]

Anime/manga and videogames and Firefly is totally what my fandom list looks like, too. :D Friends?

What a great idea!

name: Ash
fandoms: For general fangirling too many to name, but for those I've written in (outside of yuletide): Veronica Mars, Pirates of the Caribbean, Friday Night Lights, Grey's Anatomy, General Hospital and BtVS/Angel.
Yuletide years: 2 (2007 & 2008)
i wrote: Halfway Enough (http://yuletidetreasure.org/archive/36/halfwayenough.html) (2007, Friends) and The Long Day Is Over (http://yuletidetreasure.org/archive/69/thelong.html) (2008, Friday Night Lights). I received One Two Many (http://yuletidetreasure.org/archive/44/onetwo.html) (2007, Empire Records) and Heaven (http://yuletidetreasure.org/archive/75/heaven.html) (2008, Closer). And for the record, I've also offered/requested: Lisa Kleypas' Wallflower series, Dazed & Confused, My So-Called Life, Last of the Mohicans, Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman, The Outsiders, and The Family Stone.
journaling habits: I'd say about 80% fannish, but I'm starting to get more into real life talky too. It's a public journal, pretty much come one, come all. I don't think I've ever de-friended anyone, I'm pretty laid back. I tend to like unusual characters and ships, and I love a good debate and thinky conversation. :) One thing I should add though, I'm not very big on slash. I've written a few femslash pieces but it's not really a big interest of mine. (As always, love to discuss.)
hobbies/interests/anything else you'd like to add: If you friend me, you'll catch my sometimes utterly incoherent fangirling, probably be amused by my tendencies to make up my own ships regardless of canon, and hear all about my dating woes and what it's like to be a single, mid-20's Italian-American girl trying to make it on her own. Can't wait to meet you!

name: Carla (which is the Yuletide name I use as well)

fandoms: Ha. As of Yuletide 2008, I have written at least one story in each of the following fandoms: Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel, The Lost Boys, The Mighty Ducks, X-Men movieverse, Harry Potter movieverse and bookverse, Ultimate X-Men, The Fast and the Furious, Pitch Black/The Chronicles of Riddick, Mean Girls, Bend It Like Beckham, Lost, Firefly/Serenity, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, Supernatural, Circle of Magic, Dog Soldiers, Dead Witch Walking, The Baby-Sitters Club/California Diaries, Full House, Blue Crush, Girlfight, Resident Evil, Dawson's Creek, Bring It On, The Breed, Making Out, Lilo & Stitch, Stick It, She's the Man, One Tree Hill, Pirates of the Caribbean, Twilight, Jurassic Park, Southern Vampire series.

I used to call The Lost Boys my main fandom, but I think, after analyzing last year's fic output (forty stories, not counting Yuletide 2008 stories), that's no longer true. My real main fandom is either crossovers or apocalyptic fic.

Yuletide years: This was my fourth year.

+ "Haunted" (http://www.yuletidetreasure.org/archive/84/haunted.html), The Lost Boys, Michael (Yuletide Treat)

journaling habits: Mostly fandom and fanfic. I'm in law school and sometimes go quiet for weeks, but have been doing better at posting more now that I'm halfway done.

hobbies/interests/anything else you'd like to add: I've committed to writing 350K words this year. Mostly not fanfic, but at least some of it will be fic. I love motorcycles, bass guitars, and gaming. I love the legal work I've done, but hate the classwork.

fandoms: Way too many to list. My first fandom was the original Star Trek, with which I became obsessed in 1986 at age 12; after that it was the X-Files, then due South, and after that all bets were off. I like action/adventure, a mix of technology and magic, a heaping spoonful of magic realism, and the kind of romance that my buddy wavyarms describes as "Oh hey, look, over there, that's a feeling! I should maybe do something about that one of these days!" Lately, there's been a lot of bandfic on my to-read list alongside the Stargate: Atlantis and Supernatural and pre-Harry Potter YA bookfic and 80s moviefic. Unsurprisingly, I read a lot of slash. I shied away from RPF until someone directed me to bandom, at which point I capitulated; everything I write winds up being about the day-to-day life of musicians and theater people, so I might as well read fiction in which the authors have done obsessive research about what it's like to be a musician.

Yuletide years: (was this your first Yuletide, or your fourth?) This was my first Yuletide, although I've been reading for a few years.

i wrote: Sonatina For Unaccompanied Minor (http://yuletidetreasure.org/archive/65/sonatinafor.html) (Diana Wynne Jones' Archer's Goon for athersgeo.

journaling habits: I have two LJs. greenlily is for RL stuff--day-to-day activities, stuff I want to remember, survey memes, a lot of stuff about my rehearsals, etc. missiondoll is for writing. It's where I post my finished stuff, but most of the entries there are for-my-eyes-only WIPs and note files.

hobbies/interests/anything else you'd like to add: My overall hobby is that I collect stories, and use what I collect to study the art and science of storytelling. Sadly, this has not yet made me a particularly good writer; in the same vein, I have almost-perfect pitch, but not enough vocal technique to sing notes as accurately as I hear them. But I sing well enough to get into choir groups where I'm surrounded by more skilled singers I can learn from. And I write well enough to not be afraid to participate in the occasional fiction community where I get amazingly helpful feedback. I can live with that. :)

[assimbya.livejournal.com]

Fandoms: Dracula, Mythology (Greek mostly, occasional Norse, Egyptian, and Near Eastern), Musical Theater (Sondheim, Rodgers and Hammerstein, flops based on Victorian literature, etc), Shakespeare, Alice in Wonderland/Alice Through the Looking Glass, Arthurian legend, Woman in White, Phantom of the Opera, Dangerous Liaisons, Hunchback of Notre Dame, fairy tales, and an assorted smattering of other book or theater based things.

Yuletide Years: Three.

I Wrote: This Year - The Arithmetic of Memory (http://www.yuletidetreasure.org/archive/60/thearithmetic.html) (Hamlet), Sacred Madness (http://www.yuletidetreasure.org/archive/60/sacredmadness.html) (Greek mythology), Unwind (http://yuletidetreasure.org/archive/75/unwind.html) (Dracula), Seaweed (http://www.yuletidetreasure.org/archive/80/seaweed.html) (The Iliad/Odyssey), and Patronage (http://www.yuletidetreasure.org/archive/81/patronage.html) (The Iliad/Odyssey).
Last Year - A Place for Cleverness (http://www.yuletidetreasure.org/archive/43/aplace.html) (Norse mythology), Wedding Night (http://www.yuletidetreasure.org/archive/52/weddingnight.html) (Helen of Troy miniseries), and Till the End (http://www.yuletidetreasure.org/archive/53/tillthe.html) (Dracula)

Journaling Habits: Erratic. Real life things are infrequent and always locked - content generally includes reviews of books, theater, and occasional movies, ruminations on the canon of various fandoms, and completely random observations.

Hobbies/Interests/Anything Else You'd Like To Add: I live in New York City, which I adore, dance (Isadora Duncan), act, am a vegetarian, and am overly fond of Lewis Carroll quotes.

[showvillain.livejournal.com]

I like a lot of your fandoms. Would you mind if I friended you?

[i-phianassa.livejournal.com]

name: iphianassa or... iphianassa
fandoms: Possibly too many to list, especially if you include non-Yuletide. HP, GA, Heroes, Ocean's Movies, Pushing Daisies, Classical Mythology and Literature, The Other Boleyn Girl (and general 16th c. RPF), Diana Wynne Jones- Chrestomanci and Howl, Herbie Brennan-Faerie Wars and many, many others.
Yuletide years: 2
i wrote: The Thing With The Guy In The Place (http://www.yuletidetreasure.org/archive/61/thething.html) (Ocean's Movies), Arrow (http://www.yuletidetreasure.org/archive/84/arrow.html) (10th Kingdom), and One Hundred Golden Apples (http://www.yuletidetreasure.org/archive/81/onehundred.html) (Mythology- Greek & Roman)
journaling habits: my fic journal is here (http://iphifix.livejournal.com/) and I use it strictly for writing (i.e. I never read the flist). This journal is non-fannish (I used it for Yuletide because it corresponds better with my username there). And I blog about my life as a Global Nomad (this year I spent exactly 3 months in 3 different countries).
hobbies/interests/anything else you'd like to add: Travel, violin, Classics

[espresso-addict.livejournal.com]

name: I go by Espresso Addict, but write as Firerose
fandoms: These days I usually write litfic, including Earthsea, Tolkien (LotR, Unfinished Tales, The Hobbit), Diana Wynne Jones (Dalemark Quartet), George Eliot (Middlemarch), Georgette Heyer (Friday's Child), Jane Austen (Pride & Prejudice) & Charlotte Bronte (Jane Eyre), but in the past I've written Angel, Blake's 7 & Smallville. My reading fandoms are too numerous to name, but I've a particular liking for Deep Space 9 & Good Omens, and I'm just getting into the Vorkosigan series.
Yuletide years: This was my fourth Yuletide
I wrote: Diana Wynne Jones: The Last Free Soul of Dalemark (http://yuletidetreasure.org/archive/76/thelast.html) (2008) & The End Is Where We Start From (http://yuletidetreasure.org/archive/66/theend.html) (2008); Earthsea: Of Thistles and Fir Cones (http://yuletidetreasure.org/archive/5/ofthistles.html) (2004) & Of Swords and Boys (http://yuletidetreasure.org/archive/19/ofswords.html) (2005); George Eliot: Looking into the Mind of God (http://yuletidetreasure.org/archive/31/lookinginto.html) (2006); Georgette Heyer: Cinderella, Interrupted (http://archive.skyehawke.com/story.php?no=11348) (2004)
journaling habits: I post relatively rarely & my real-life posts are friendslocked. Topics include recommendations, occasional fiction, meanderings on the writing process, reviews of television drama, & landscape photography
hobbies/interests/anything else you'd like to add: cats, coffee, moors, mountains, contemporary classical music (Steve Reich, John Adams), history of medicine. I'm writing a historical novel, very slowly, and in consequence seem to have acquired an unshakeable addiction to Wikipedia

[glass-icarus.livejournal.com]

Earthsea! and GO and DWJ! pretty awesome. :D mind if i add?

[curtana.livejournal.com]

name: Curtana

fandoms: A Song of Ice and Fire, Babylon 5, BSG, Firefly, Gosford Park, House, Lion in Winter, Rome (all with three or more fics). I've also written one or two fics each in Blackadder, Clone High, Discworld, Fables, Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, Gattaca, Ginger Snaps, HP, Jeeves and Wooster, Labyrinth, Mythbusters, Order of the Stick, PotC, Mary Russell series, Sandman, Slings and Arrows, Sweeney Todd, Venture Bros, and Vorkosigan series. In general, I mostly write in small fandoms, though I like plenty of big ones as well. I gravitate toward the funny more than the angsty, though I can do both (sometimes both in the same story...)

Yuletide years: This was my second year.

i wrote: Dirty Laundry (http://yuletidetreasure.org/archive/62/dirtylaundry.html) (Venture Bros.) for AstroGirl

The Aunt and the Ankh (http://yuletidetreasure.org/archive/77/theaunt.html) (Jeeves and Wooster) for lyrebard

Mundus (http://yuletidetreasure.org/archive/80/mundus.html) (Rome) for lasergirl

Treasure Type Q (http://yuletidetreasure.org/archive/81/treasuretype.html) (Order of the Stick) for mistress_scarlett

journaling habits: My personal journal is about half f-locked these days, and public stuff tends to be about my kid and/or mundane details of my life, because my extended family reads it (that's the reason the other half is f-locked...) My fic is posted at shadow_truths, and everything above PG-13 (which is most of it) is f-locked (again, I don't need my mom reading my porn...). I also have an icon journal at iconsbycurtana.

hobbies/interests/anything else you'd like to add: I'm a gamer, mostly I end up running D&D games online for old friends, since I hardly know anyone in the city we live in currently. I have an MA in history and I'm just starting a Masters of Library and Information Studies with a concentration in archives. When I'm not busy with that stuff or taking care of my three-year-old, I write fic, make icons and graphics, and read.

[fairest1.livejournal.com]

Oooh, always nice to see Fables people around!

[bookesque.livejournal.com]

name: bookesque
fandoms: I lurk in multiple fandoms, but am currently obsessed with Merlin, How I Met Your Mother, Psych, Discworld, Fairy Tales, and pretty much anything and everything satire. Also, waaay too many book and anime fandoms to count. (Tragically, I have yet to write anything, but this will likely change in the near future.)
Yuletide years: First year! -waves blankie and rattle-
i wrote: this is not a chick flick (http://yuletidetreasure.org/archive/74/thisis.html) (Greek Mythology; Hades/Persephone) . . . and, uh, that's it. -hides in shame-
journaling habits: Nothing yet - this was not only my first Yuletide ever, but also my first time posting a story online, no matter what anyone says about a Naruto fic that may or may not have popped into existence a few years ago. However, I will definitely be writing both original stories and fanfic, so hopefully posts will be forthcoming at a regular basis. There will likely be very little RL stuff, as I am one of those paranoid freaks who believe that the CIA and pedophiles are stalking me through the mystical fibers of the interwebs. -clutches tinfoil hat protectively-
hobbies/interests/anything else you'd like to add: I absolutely adore all satire and meta, although I am tragically not that talented at producing my own.

[fairest1.livejournal.com]

name:fairest1/mollyscribbles
fandoms: Fables, Girl Genius, Narbonic, HP, Care Bears crossovers, Dr. Horrible, Larklight, Neil Gaiman's blog, Princess Tutu, various Disney, and whatever crack strikes my fancy.
Yuletide years: Three.
i wrote: Camp Chippewa: Shadows and Sunlight (http://yuletidetreasure.org/archive/17/campchippewa.html) (Addams Family), That Old Familiar Fable? Not Quite (http://yuletidetreasure.org/archive/27/thatold.html) (Archie), By the Book (http://yuletidetreasure.org/archive/32/bythe.html) (Fables), Turn the Page (http://yuletidetreasure.org/archive/67/turnthe.html) (Enchanted).
journaling habits: Random thought patterns, odd RL ranting, geeky ideas.
hobbies/interests/anything else you'd like to add: Books, comics, webcomics, steampunk, world domination.

You had me at "world domination."
