I did five stories for this year's go-round of Fandom Stocking.

Four of them were for the Baby-Sitters' Club fandom - there's a group of us that kind of goes around writing for each other.

Silly Superstitions is a Charlie Thomas/Janine Kishi story about catching the bouquet.

Not Like Her Daydream is also a Charlie/Janine story focusing on a first kiss.

Not Ready is a drabble about parents not being ready to move to the next stage.

Parents' Night In gives a pair of busy parents some time to themselves.

The fifth story was a Nancy Drew drabble, and it's a bit of an idea I've had for awhile - Nancy of the yellow spine era meets Frank Hardy of the same era (blue spines), called Locked In.

Fandom_Stocking is live for this year:

My stocking is here.

It has a lovely ficlet in the comments for A Civil Contract featuring a Lydia/Brough moment that is incredibly well done.

not_from_stars also wrote me a Nancy Drew/Frank Hardy ficlet in the comments that is sweet and funny.

There's also some lovely pictures and greetings and a "get one drabble free" card idea which I think I'm going to copy next year.  The writer has A LOT of fandoms, so deciding could take awhile.

There are also recipes.

I also got a gift story in the Archive for A Civil Contract, also a Lydia/Brough moment post wedding.  It's called Happiness.

Other stories in the Archive of note:

A Convenient Excuse (Baby-Sitters' Club, Charlie Thomas/Janine Kishi) - Short and sweet slice of life.

Dress (Baby-Sitters' Club, Sam Thomas/Stacey McGill) - This is hysterically funny.  Bonus points for funny, realistic parental sex talk and snappy dialogue.  Prom Night is sexy but not explicit.

Forks (Vorkosigan Saga) - Short piece with Cordelia and Lady Alys.

Sunny Afternoon (Vorkosigan Saga) - A moment with Ekaterin and Ivan.
