Yuletide Reveal Has Happened !

[desertvixen]

 So now that we're no longer anonymous (and you can believe, I've been checking that only slightly less often then we clicked Is It Yuletide Yet? while waiting for the stories to be posted), I can show off my own shiny stories and respond to my comments.

 1. Undercover Troubles (Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys) - This was my assigned story, and I went through about five tries before I hit on a plot that worked, inspired by one of my works-in-progress.  (It's not connected to my ongoing series.)  The pair of newly single detectives have to pretend to be dating while on a case, and of course they get into some trouble...

 2. Giving Hostages to Fortune (Vorkosigan Saga) - This was my pinch hit, and it owes a lot to commodorified  and coalboy for their assistance in giving in it a beta read.  A LOT.  Gregor and Laisa Vorbarra welcome their son to his world.

 3. Free to Be Myself (He-Man/She-Ra) - This was a last minute pinch-hit, and it gives a look inside Prince Adam's head on the subject of being himself, and the problems of being He-Man.

 Go forth and read !

My own gifts were written by concertigrossi (responsible for A Glimpse of the Future) and maudlinrose (responsible for On The Road to London as well as the Venetia story The Walled Garden).  A public thanks again!

Very nice Vorkosigan story!

Thanks! My betas helped a lot.

Especially since I didn't know/forgot I knew that LMB had said Gregor and Laisa's son had been born before the events in Diplomatic Immunity and commodorified helped a lot with Gregor's inner voice.

I should have guessed you wrote Undercover Trouble! When I read it I thought it seemed a lot like your works, but I just chalked that up to not to being as familiar to other ND/HB fics.

Plus I think it's cool that two members of my flist were connected through Yuletide.

Well, it's not part of the big story (which I'm trying to have the next chapter beta ready this weekend) but it's a throwaway for another piece. I didn't have you beta it, because I finished it really close to the deadline. :)

I asked her to friend me, since it seems like we have some stuff in common - including you!
