When I checked my email tonight after getting home from work, I wondered why I suddenly had three kudos and a comment on Loving Bonds, the Dark Is Rising fic I wrote for Yuletide 2009. (It's about Blodwen and John Rowlands, and how Bran came to stay at Clwyd despite Owen Davies being clearly unfit as a father after Gwen disappeared.) It is not, after all, a story in a large fandom, nor is it about the woobies of said fandom, nor was it ever really cross-posted or advertised.

It's usually impossible to track the source of a sudden spike of interest in an old story -- my standard explanation is that one person stumbled over it randomly and told a couple friends, which, unlike a rec post, will leave no publicly accessible trace on the internet -- but this time I got lucky.

Today "Loving Bonds" was the featured random story of the day on [livejournal.com profile] yuletide. All is explained. :-)

---------------

In other news, "Guardian" ch. 15 is at 525 words as of last night. Now I am off to write some more.

ETA: 1,525 words now, and scene one is finished. I think the end needs a bit of fixing and I will probably have to trim some stuff on account of repetition, but whatever. Tomorrow I switch to Naga-tachi and the Volcano Country border! (I don't think Volcano Country exists/has been named in canon, but I figure I am AU enough by this point -- both by choice and just because I started writing before various revelations and plot twists -- that I don't particularly care.)
