yuletide reveal!

First, mea culpa -- I would never have left the internets for these particular two days without saying I'd be away if I'd known I wasn't going to have access from the moment I left my hotel in Utica until now.  Apologies, and blame for the Syracuse airport (who said they had wireless, but whose wireless didn't work).

Next:  the reveal!  I wrote Secret Lives of the Cast of Galaxy Quest for [livejournal.com profile] shealynn88, which, let me tell you, kicked my ass out of all proportion with my knowledge of and love for the source material.  I have no idea why this thing was so difficult, but it was.  Still, though, it has gone over well, for which I am glad!

My presents were, as I said before, The Knowledge, the Truth, and the Love, by Sabine ([livejournal.com profile] iamsab), and it is brilliant and I can't tell you how much I love it.  And my lovely stocking stuffer, Resisting Temptation, came from Assimbya ([livejournal.com profile] assimbya).  Thanks, Assimbya and Sab!  [flings arms around both]


Am now in Florida at the home of the friends.  The baby continues to be criminally adorable.  Today I'm going to see if I can't exchange a gift that was, without the giver's knowledge, a duplicate of something I already had.  Soon, home again!

Oh.  Maybe I'd better find a spare for curling tomorrow night.

I totally agree, the GQ story was fantastic. I can't pick one snippet that I liked over the other. Just like the movie, every character gets their moment.

Oh, I'm so glad you liked it. That story also kicked my ass but good. Someday I might expand it to actually include the sex, rather than the tasteful-albeit-abrupt fadeout. *g*

I was aiming for fairy tale or fable-ish, and maybe came close? And either way, I am so glad you liked it. I could live in Prydain forever, SRSLY.

And hell YES the secret lives of the GQ people were HI-LARIOUS. Awesome.

OMG if you do expand it I am going to require you to let me know. You came exactly as close to fairy-tale-fable-ish as Mr. Alexander did, and are thus MY YULETIDE HERO. I could also live in Prydain forever and ever and ever, with maybe an epithet-zapper in a scabbard at my side, is all. :-) (Oh, Lloyd. We love you anyway, lots and lots.)
