As the Cardinal Flies

Greetings, O YuleScrivener, and welcome! And also, thank you! Where Yuletide is concerned, I am nothing if not a Requester Of The Seriously Obscure. Thus I am always amazed when the technomancy of the matching process succeeds in finding a writer who shares my appreciation for said obscurity, and delighted on Christmas morning when a wonderful and wondrous story from that writer's (metaphorical) pen lands in my AO3 gift-folder. We may just be setting out on this year's journey, but I know there's a happy ending to come, and I am grateful for it already. Your work is (and will be) appreciated and valued, and I look forward to seeing its fruits.

These letters aren't getting any shorter, so while I've got detailed material farther down, I think it's only fair to give you the list of fandom requests up front. So, those would be:

• Diana Winthrop series – Kate Chambers
  
• Jacqueline Kirby – Elizabeth Peters
  
• The Night of the Solstice - L. J. Smith
  
• Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century
  
• Stargirl (2020)

Feel free to wander backward through this journal and my fic on AO3 (linked to your left) to get an idea of my interests; what I write is very much also what I like to read – and has, over time, added up to rather a variety of fandoms. My past Yuletide letters (and those for other exchanges) are tagged "dear santa" herein; see the "Yuletide" tag too, if you like.

So this is a trifle belated...but here's the scoop on my contribution to Yuletide 2010: I wrote just one story, but it was a fairly long one.  The House on the Hilltop, for philosapphic came in at a little over 6100 words.

The fandom is L. J. Smith's The Night of the Solstice -- ( or more accurately, )

The story: Aside from a brief framing sequence, "The House on the Hilltop" is ( a prequel to the series proper, )
