I got two excellent fics for Yuletide. They're both for Haibane Renmei, but each addressed a different bit of my request. (I tried to suggest several different directions for each fandom.) The first, "i live my life in growing orbits", is a lovely slice of life that reminds me a lot of the anime, peaceful surface with depths. The second, "Season's Change", addresses some of the mysteries of canon, offering answers that I rather like.

I'm working my way through the Yuletide archive. It will probably take me a few weeks to read everything that I want to read. Sadly, I've had to give up on leaving comments. I found myself having anxiety issues over leaving comments that made me come near to stopping reading. (I suspect that that's the big reason why I still haven't finished last year's archive, and that, in turn, led to me not updating my recs page very much in 2007. I kept saying that I'd read more when I felt up to leaving comments and that I'd update my recs site after I finished reading Yuletide so that I could include those recs.)

I wish I were up to leaving a lot of comments. I've read some excellent fics in the last few days. I've been working my way through fandoms, starting with the X's. I'm currently poking at the E's.

I don't expect many comments on my fic. Looking at the other fics in the fandom, including those from Yuletides past, nothing there gets many comments. The only comment I'm actually waiting for is one from my recipient. I don't know if she's offline for the holidays or not (I didn't see anything from her on the post for letting writers know that one would be away).

I started a stocking stuffer story but didn't have the time or energy to finish it. With luck, I'll be able to complete it after the holidays and treat it as a New Year's Resolution fic. The request it was meant for has already been filled, though. Still, I like the story.
