My recipient did write a letter and it is fantastic and inspiring, and in an unprecedented Yuletide miracle, I am almost done with my story. *glee* Who is this Lorraine, and what have you done with the original? LOL I still have to type up what I've handwritten and rewatch part of canon to confirm small details, but this puppy is largely done. I am extremely pleased with myself.

I am going to try to write some treats this year (Minority Report is definitely on the list) as well as finish up fic I owe people for being unbelievably awesome to me. What fandoms do y'all think I should try to treat?

In other unprecedented news, Faculty Senate was only 50 minutes this morning (seriously, this is mind boggling). I also had an excellent lunch with a colleague I am excited about cultivating a friendship with. She accepted our invitation to dinner in a few weeks as did the chair of our department and some other colleagues who are fast friends. I am so looking forward to hosting a dinner party. We used to frequently do so before Fi entered the picture, and I really miss it. We're going to do gumbo (Josh makes excellent, excellent gumbo) and potato salad with appetizers and cocktails first. I'll probably go easy on myself and just do a nice charcuterie plate instead of trying to cook something because the hour before everyone arrives will have been spent putting Fi to bed.

But I get to pick out which dishes to use! And the crystal! And linens and little cocktail napkins! OMG, that's my favorite part--polishing my salt cellar spoons and getting out the soup tureen and picking out the table runner. *dreamy sigh* I adore a beautiful table so freaking much.

What's going on with y'all? Talk to me, friends. :)

Yea! on the writing! It's always wonderful when everything comes together like that. For treat writing, I would suggest any fandoms we share, but I'm not sure if we do share any, so... I think you should write things that will give you joy. Don't pursue any that feel like a chore.

I haven't entered Yuletide, but I've been browsing people's letters in case anything leapt out at me to write as a treat anyway. Good news - I found something that speaks to me. Bad news - I've written 10K words already, and even being optimistic I'm probably only halfway done. Other good news is that I'm currently on holiday in the States, resting up in a hotel for a con starting Thursday. (And the plane trip over was responsible for almost half that 10K, even if I am currently procrastinating.)

I just hope I can finish it to my satisfaction. It's plotty and I'm not generally great at that, with lots and lots of minor OCs and I haven't even managed to introduce all the major players and... (Hides head under covers.)
