graycardinalI have been glancing into and around the Yuletidearchive (a thousand stories! yow!) since it opened, and have generally been very impressed.
Regarding the story written for me: If You Can't Say Anything Nice is charming and funny and clever in all the right Muppetational proportions. It's attracted a lot of favorable comments (but only one formal rec that I've seen so far), and justifiably so. I'm very pleased, and whoever the author may be, I'll certainly be looking for their other works if it's not someone I'm already familiar with.
Regarding the two stories I wrote (original assignment plus a stocking stuffer): Both recipients appear to be well satisfied with their stories, particularly so in the case of the stocking stuffer -- for which I'm glad, because I was not at all sure that one was going to "work". There are also a handful of other thoughtful comments on both pieces, though as far as I know neither of the stories has garnered a formal rec as yet (not necessarily surprising with an archive this big).
Regarding recs and the reveal: I'm still very much wading through the archives, what with family holiday activities and preparation for an impending trip -- I'll be offline on New Year's Day, but back a day or so thereafter. There will be recs, and I'll be happy to discuss my own stories if anyone's interested (ha!), but it may take me a bit to catch up to the rest of the Yuleverse once I'm home again.
