Yes, yes it is!

Yuletide is open already!

I feel my plans to work until 4:00 and then start reading Yuletide slowly derailing. LOL ETA: Oh, wait. I think I'm an idiot; I thought it was supposed to open at 4:00 this afternoon, but I think it was always supposed to open at 4:00 this morning. LOL

Let's see how long I can hold out before I say screw it and just abandon work altogether. :)

Merry Christmas to everyone who celebrates and Happy Saturday to those who don't and wonderful weekend to us all!

Yuletide Rec post the first

First I have to rec my glorious gifts, in alphabetical order:

By Heart
Locked Tomb
Abigail/Magnus/Ortus

This is utterly delightful. It captures everything I love about each of these three characters, it has excellent humor, and it's also very hot.

Enharmonic
Coldfire Trilogy
Gen

Another delight in which Tarrant plays the piano and Hesseth is discomfited by human ways and Damien has a moment of insight about Tarrant; it's a missing scene character study that is deftly drawn.


Now for some other things I've been enjoying:

Mayhem: The Chitauri Invasion
Allstate Insurance Mayhem Commercials
Just imagine what insurance would have to cover in the MCU. Then imagine Mayhem trying to sell it to you.

This is truly inspired. Whoever wrote this is a genius.


New perspectives on Chaucer’s Aldris: Editor’s introduction
Legend of Good Women--Chaucer, Beowulf

Excerpts from a book that doesn't exist about a text that doesn't exist. And now I really would like to read both. LOL Again, genius.
