And I have gifts! (writer and artist names to come after reveals)
In due South Seekrit Santa I was given a lovely Renfield Turnbull & Dief story which is cute and funny, and ultimately a little sad, as Turnbull can't get past his innate speciesism: Four Ways Turnbull and Dief Spend Time Together and One Way They Didn't by
In SGA Santa: A wonderful piece of additional canon during The Return, back on Earth, with John all messed up about what they've lost, then finding some comfort: You Can't Go Home (But You Don't Have to Stay Here) by
In SGA Art Santa: A marvellous screencap comic that'd be the BEST pitch ever to Hollywood for a movie. I would watch the hell out of it! Assassins by
In Yuletide: An Esca/Marcus after-the-movie fic (The Eagle/ Eagle of the Ninth) which is domestic and gorgeous: what makes the cornfield smile by
And I already squeed about the amazing Yuletart art
In other news, I'm mid-way through art for the Flyboys Cam/John gift exchange. First I liked it but now I'm having second thoughts: bother! Probably needs dinosaurs to fix it. Or tentacles. Maybe both.
And I've had a small art blowout for Yuletart, with one work already posted, an extra work that's just gone up and a third to come soon. I seem to go troppo in some fest or other each year, getting totally carried away with several works. Viz:
- A Yuletide story then 3 Yuletide treasure shortfics in 2010
- An art blowout in Dark Agenda's Kaleidoscope fest in 2011 with 6 pieces
- Five John/Cam stories in January 2012 for last year's Flyboys exchange.
In other news, my cat, Possum, got a box of just the right size for Christmas. He's very happy with it. And I accidentally took this photo on my phone, which I've decided is the towers of Atlantis, surfacing. What? It so is! (Plus I saw a building with a big gen-i sign on it. Worrying.)
I'll do an annual round-up soon for 2012, probably just after New Year.
*** Have a good New Year's eve, everyone ***
It's more imminent for me than for many of you, also, summer here, but I won't torture the northerners with any details!
