edenfalling1. I am attempting to read through the Yuletide archives, but I am only barely into C in the main archive and at the tail end of D in the Madness archive. (I go more or less alphabetically, with occasional diversions to things that look particularly interesting in rec posts.) This is partly because I keep having to be at work, partly because I am just very tired this week, and partly because I am trying to keep on top of some other internet things instead of letting them slide until 2012.
I may make a rec post on Saturday, but probably not. I don't think I really have the energy.

2. My six Yuletide fics split neatly into three levels in terms of hit counts and audience response: two very low, two low-to-middling, and two almost-popular. One of the two almost-popular stories does not surprise me, but the other (which happens to be my assignment, yay!), DOES surprise me. I did not know there was such pent-up demand to read fic for that source. Then again, it is exactly the sort of thing that one falls fiercely in love with in late childhood/early adolescence, so perhaps it's not so surprising that people are pleased to see it getting a bit of attention.
(I am not fiercely in love with the source myself -- mostly I just think it's cute and sweet -- but I am pretty sure that if I'd first encountered it between the ages of 8 and 14 rather than at 29, I would have adored it beyond words. It has a similar feel to several books that I did first encounter in that stretch and do love madly, passionately, and all the way down to the marrow of my bones.)

3. I am gathering links and stuff for an end-of-year writing roundup post. This has been manageable from January through November, but December is giving me a freaking headache. It's my own fault, of course, for writing all the "3-sentence" ficlets, but archivist!Liz is not pleased with writer!Liz at the moment.
On the bright side, I definitely cracked 100,000 words for the second year in a row, so go me!
On the less bright side, all my old WIPs are still WIPs, and I added a new one ("Weregild") to the list. *sigh* I don't know why I keep doing this to myself.
