Thanks to the hardworking Seah, trickster.org is back up and working beautifully, with sites slowly coming back on line as the site owners get them uploaded.

I've been uploading and making little fixes, and now my site is back up, including the SG Handbook.

My Yuletide story this year was written for for [livejournal.com profile] kirbyfest, and is gen Dead Zone. It's on the Yuletide archive here, and up at my own site here.

My Yuletide story won't be going up just yet, because the server my site is housed on is having some problems. When I get it uploaded, I'll announce it here.

After reading one too many stories full of epithets, I started writing an essay/ramble/rant thing about "elegant variation", which expanded into these cheesily named things:

Variety Is the Spice of Life... and I Need Some Tums (This one's sort of the 'base' essay.)

Purple Fanfic's (total lack of) Majesty

Epithets: Fandom's Designated Hitters

'Said' Is Not a Four-Letter Word

And, thanks to a bunch of friends who chimed in with examples from their fandoms, I pulled together a list of epithet examples from all over, just for fun:

Just in case my Secret Santa checks in here looking for clues...

I'm really very easy to please -- just knowing that there will be a story in one of those fandoms is making me happy. Write anything you want!

If you need a bit more, slash is my favorite take, but I'll be very happy with gen if that's what you go with. I'm much more about the characters themselves and their relationships with each other than any specific kinks. Recognizing the voices in a story is a huge happy button for me. I like everything from warm'n'fuzzy to angst, funny to bittersweet; I like fluffy PWPs and complex plots and everything in between. I love snarkiness, but don't require it. The darker end of the spectrum isn't generally my thing, but the only thing I can't read is domestic discipline.

So, pretty much -- write anything you want! *g* Whatever you're comfortable with will be great. And thank you so much!

I've just posted an Invisible Man New Year's Resolution story for Basingstoke -- Soft on the Inside -- to the Yuletide archive.

It's also on my own site, here.

It's gen Eberts & Official.

This isn't going to be a chatty LJ; I got it so I could post an announcement to the [livejournal.com profile] yuletide LJ, and I don't plan on using it for anything other than infrequent site-update announcements.
