lanerose

Hello!! And Thank you for signing up!!! I'm super stoked that we share a fandom and am totally looking forward to whatever you come up with.

Here's some generic info about what I like: I will read just about anything, so you really can't go wrong. I'm a sucker in particular for hurt/comfort and canon divergence fics. I like happy endings, and am always up for women being awesome. I'm not big on high school or coffee shop AUs.

Fandom specific suggestions below - as always, optional details are optional! =D I've requested some of these fandoms before, so definitely feel free to check prior yuletide letters via the yuletide tag here if none of these fits your fancy, or just surprise me! ♥

赤髪の白雪姫 | Akagami no Shirayukihime

I would love to see Shirayuki, Zen, and Zen's guards/advisers going off on an adventure together. Or something with the unnamed palace guards who ship Shirayuki/Zen, because I think that would be hilarious. Alternatively, maybe a time when Izana gets sick and Shirayuki has to take care of him? Or pre-series fic with Zen. Something about Garack's backstory could also be interesting.

Akatsuki no Yona | Yona of the Dawn

Yona is my favorite character, so please try to include her. I'd be curious to see something set pre-series, in sort of happier times, but at the same time I'd also love to see something with her and the dragon warriors interacting with one another. I'm a sucker for a good case fic, so feel free to send them off on an adventure to retrieve a Macguffin. I've only watched the anime, so please avoid spoilers if you've read the manga!

琅琊榜 / Nirvana in Fire

I'd love to see something about the twelve years that it takes for Lin Shu to become Mei Changsu and the formation of the Jiangzuo alliance. We know he contacts General Meng circa year 7, and I'd love to see something about that initial contact. Alternatively, something with Nihuang (preferably Nihuang/Lin Shu and *not* one-sided) and/or Consort Jing would be fantastic, too.

Log Horizon

I would absolutely adore basically anything with Shiroe in it, but in a particular way I would love to see Shiroe/Akatsuki romance fic. Alternatively, Debauchery Tea Party backstory would be amazing. Or the AU where the Debauchery Tea Party never broke up and they were all together in the game when they got trapped.

Thank you again! ♥

Missed Yuletide sign-ups by a day. ;_; What kills me is that this year, I remembered to nominate fandoms (which got in) and was looking for sign-ups before they opened. This is what I get for being only halfsies in fandom these days. @_@

At least I'll have time for my novel in November and no excuses. XDDD

Dear Yule Goat,

( Hi! and Thank you!!! )

Because it's no fun if you don't have one. If you can spot me, I will give you a drabble/fic bit in the fandom of your choice, assuming that I recognize it or can get caught up on it in not horrible long. XD Comments screened 'cause no fair guessing just cause somebody else figured it out! =D

After walking past Harry Potter, I saw Shredder arguing with Batman on a train while Pikachu watched. (Comicon awesomed my commute home.)

Please go vote for someone who might or might not be me at Hikago Deathmatch.

Thanks! =D

If anyone's looking for me in the next couple of days, I'm moving and will be without Internet from either tonight (or tomorrow night, my cable company wasn't really clear) until either Tuesday or Wednesday night. (Yeah, it's about as clear as mud. My lease here runs out on Wednesday, but I'm hoping to clear out on Tuesday, and it's really all down to my packing/cleaning speed, which defies prediction. Sorry? XD) So if I'm slow to respond, it's not that I don't love you all, I just suck at communication. Catch you on the flip side!

People are kind of awesome.

*Indicates New Icon*

For anyone who's missed the competition, although I think most of the people who would be interested on my f-list are also participating, I'm taking party in DW's Hikago Deathmatch. Round one works can be found here. I... will avoid commenting on the fics for the moment. ^.^;;;

Also, took the bar exam. Really freaking hope that I passed. Because not passing would suck. The two questions I remembered because I had no idea WTF they were asking (one for each day, which is clearly a great record, lol, and I really did write WTF?! next to the one on Wednesday), I later managed to determine that I got right through dumb luck, so hey, good sign! But I also completely missed half an essay question and am pretty sure I screwed up the MPT, so hey, who knows? Results aren't out until November, so I've decided not to worry about it in the mean time. Have had a wicked headache all day, too. When I got on the train last night to head home, I'm pretty sure the conductor thought that I had been drinking or doing drugs or something because he told me to "get home safe." Which just isn't something one says to a person on a rush hour train in NY. Such is my life. @_@ But it made me laugh, so hey, win for him. ^_^

Anyway, I'm on vacation for the first time in forever until I start work in October. Fic will probably get written, although I'm working on an original thing, too, so we'll see which wins. I'm also planning to travel a bit - haven't decided on a destination yet, though, so if anyone's got a recommendation, do let me know! Tentatively eyeing the U.K. - maybe do a run through the major cities in each country? I like the idea of doing Wales and Scotland since I've never been, and of doing England at a time of year when I'm not freezing to death. May pop over to Ireland. Alternatively, I've been looking at doing a cruise, either from Barcelona and seeing most of Italy, or from Vancouver and seeing Alaska. If anyone has actually done any of these things and has a recommendation, that would be kind of awesome.

Nice to see you all again! ♥
