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

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

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!

kaneko and

merryish did read-throughs, as did

astolat and

terrio--brave souls who aren't even pop fans, but who helped tremendously!

I also wrote The Only Constant for

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

estrella30.

I put this on my Yuletide list after having watched 3 episodes with

misspamela, because I was SO IN LOVE with them! When I got

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.

misspamela helped immensely and made sure that the guys stayed in character.

astolat,

terrio, and

merryish also did beta on this one--again, without being familiar with the fandom. Brave, brave beta readers. *grin*

Big thanks to

firequill, who wrote Chris/AJ for me (Check, double check) for SeSa!

And also to

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! :)

Have since read it, and as expected, I loved it. This is my favorite part:

"And I'm strange. And bitter."

"I'm strange and happy," Lance said. "Do you want to see my cosmonaut certificate?"

Oh yeah, baby. That's the trickyfish I know and love.

*grins* Me too! Chris and Lance, man. No other pairing like it. They're both just so weird and perfect and, sigh. So much fun. And I'm glad that you loved the story. Thank you so much! :)
