wherein Liz is under siege by bears

I am working busily on my Yuletide fic. I think I have finally hit the point where I shouldn't need to research any new topics, and am merrily inventing fictional people to fill out the historical landscape, because stories work better with more than three characters interacting against a blank backdrop. (Which reminds me: I must add some more descriptive passages once I finish the rough draft.)
I think I have hit on a sort of thematic through-line, to accompany the historically attested event. We shall see if I can make it cohere into something functional. If not, well, that's what second drafts and edits are for. :-)
...
I have a strong feeling that once I get to my parents' house, I am going to basically collapse and come down with a vicious cold. I have been running on stress and determination for a good while now, and when you stop that sort of relentless push, everything else tends to fall down in sympathy. Nrgh.
Okay, time for an ice cream break.
Then back to writing.
