New Year's Eve was a blast, although it had a bad start when I drove around for 4 hours trying to meet up with [livejournal.com profile] misspamela to see Brokeback Mountain. Rte 128/95 is NOT my friend and an hour and a half after the movie started, I finally made it to the right town but the wrong theatre. I didn't even KNOW there were 2 theatres in that town. Grarrrrgh.

But a couple hours after I got home, Trisha and I met up with some of my friends for dinner, then we headed down to Providence despite horrid road conditions--ice, snow, all the fun stuff. Many hours of drinking later, six of us (the non-wimps! :-p) were out in front of the townhouse having the best snowball fight of all time, omg, so much fun! I went to bed around 4 and then woke up around 9 and came home feeling ridiculously hungover--seriously, okay, I don't know what it is about parties in Providence but I come home a *mess*--and yet also ridiculously cheerful.

In fannish news, it's DWNOGA and Yuletide reveal time!

This year, I wrote two DWNOGA stories. One for [livejournal.com profile] lilysaid, Everything in its Place, GSF.

Lily! I'm very amused that you guessed it was me! I want you to know, this story made me miss NSYNC so much, the group part was so so easy and fun, I had an absolute blast with it. It also led me on a wild chase around the internet in search of good group sex fiction and other varities of porn, which was. Well. Educational. But everytime I tried to sex up the ending it just didn't seem to work for the story. Anyway, that's an apology for not writing you porn. *grins* I'm glad you liked it!

[livejournal.com profile] kaneko and [livejournal.com profile] merryish did read-throughs, as did [livejournal.com profile] astolat and [livejournal.com profile] terrio--brave souls who aren't even pop fans, but who helped tremendously!



I also wrote The Only Constant for [livejournal.com profile] ephemera_pop, Chris/Lance.

I got this assignment the weekend before stories were due--which is also the weekend I got a concussion. *grins* I took the story anyway because OMG, Chris/Lance, how much love do I have for them? More than can be expressed, ever! I was really glad to have the chance to write them for another year of SeSa. It made me so happy.



For Yuletide, I wrote Good for You, Eric/Vince from Entourage, for [livejournal.com profile] estrella30.

I put this on my Yuletide list after having watched 3 episodes with [livejournal.com profile] misspamela, because I was SO IN LOVE with them! When I got [livejournal.com profile] estrella30's request, I freaked out--yay, someone I know! Yay ENTOURAGE! Yet also, OMFG, what was I thinking? *grins*

This story was so much fun to write. I can't even count how many times I rewatched s1, etc. The episodes were seriously just little candies that I couldn't resist. And now I've got a little list of other Entourage stories that I want to write. So much fun.

[livejournal.com profile] misspamela helped immensely and made sure that the guys stayed in character. [livejournal.com profile] astolat, [livejournal.com profile] terrio, and [livejournal.com profile] merryish also did beta on this one--again, without being familiar with the fandom. Brave, brave beta readers. *grin*



Big thanks to [livejournal.com profile] firequill, who wrote Chris/AJ for me (Check, double check) for SeSa!

And also to [livejournal.com profile] gritkitty, who wrote me what is now one of my favorite Master & Commander stories ever, The Murmuring of Bees Has Ceased.

Aaaaand that is the New Year's roundup, I guess. Best wishes for a wonderful 2006, guys--you all deserve it! :)
