Yuletide update

ysobelIt's interesting how different the yuletide experience is when once participates in IRC. Previous years, for me, it was just "write a story, get a story, glee, stalk my recipient's LJ for a response". This year, it's ... I mean, there's actual *people* and it's awesome fun.
(Plus, being a hippo -- short version, an in-chat anonymizing beta-finder for authors -- is crazy addictive.)
My assigned story is uploaded; due to quirks of fate (i.e. already having an AO3 account and having an [essentially] finished story), it was actually the second (!!!!!) one up. I am not usually that early *grin* The lack of flailness has been odd.
... but then, despite the fact that I told myself that I wouldn't pick up a pinch hit, since if there were prompts that intrigued me I could always write them unofficially, I went and got myself a pinch hit. *facepalm* So, today is quick emergency review of canon if I can find it, and tomorrow is story-writing time. Ack? :D
(I also discovered that somehow, one of my email addresses had a typo in the reply-to field [usemail instead of usermail], which means that any emails I sent out since the Great Computer Crash (which is when the email client got reinstalled, and is therefore the most likely time of entering wrongly) could not be replied to. gak.]
