Snowflake Challenge day 5 and 6

[turps]

Well, the MTYG reveals are up and I can reveal I wrote To Turn to Dust or to Gold for ephemera, which was a big task because she's such a lovely amazing lady and we've been friends for a very long time. Also, it was the first time in forever that I'd written a full length popslash story.

I have to admit I cheated a little as I read A's post about wanting a post apoc library, and got inspiration from there. Now, I have to say here that the story probably isn't what A was imagining. I'm sure her idea was much more serious, while mine had unicorns with sparkling hooves, and Pink getting involved with Kelly and Lance as a tech over-ruler who people both respected and friendly mocked, and tech that kept failing and electrocuting people, Justin repeatedly falling off a donkey and JC nearly dying trying to bring a copy of the Karma Sutra back to the library, and a total lack of anything beyond casual touches between Chris and Joey to show they were actually together.

But it was a lot of fun to write, and if I hadn't contained myself it could have sprawled to many, many more thousands of words. Huge thanks go to pensnest and nopseud who helped me beat it into shape. And yet again I was in a gifting circle with my recipient. It was a lovely exchange season that way.

Which leads me nicely to, it was Ephemera who wrote my cat cafe story. I knew it was someone who knew me as it was so tailored to my tastes, but I had no clue who. Thank you again, A ♥

Catching up on Snowflake, though it's a very quick catch-up as I have no actual content to include.

Day 5: Recommend a fannish or creative reasource

I'm coming up empty for this one and have been since I first saw the prompt. I mean, I'm sure I have something to share but I can't think of anything right now. So I'll have to pass.

Day 6: Leave feedback for a fanwork

That's something I always do anyway so I'm classing this as done, too.

Awww, your gifting exchange circles are so cute! What were the odds?

I'll hopefully get a chance to read your story this week. It's been a crazy writing time instead of a reading time this weekend.

I liked how things turned out. Exchange circles are lovely things.

Yeah, I've just seen you've posted more ficlets. I say enjoy the writing urge when it's there.

How awesome that you wrote for ephemera while she wrote for you!

Of course it was JC who brought the Kama Sutra to the library! :-D

It was the year of the gifting circle exchanges for me *g*

I didn't actually state it was that book outright in the story, but quite a few people got that it was anyway *g*

Ok, that has to be the most fun and colorful post-apocalypse story I've ever read. I'm glad JC was able to preserve that ancient wisdom.

I figured some unicorns would brighten up a post-apoc setting nicely.

Thank you!

The same thing happened to me last year! Gifting circles, right? They're kind of a mind f*ck. :)

I guess they show you're writing for someone with similar tastes. I can't believe I ended up in two this year.
