Updates on the fandom front!

I almost forgot about Yuletide reveals! I received a story for a repeat request, which makes me glad that I stuck with it:

I'm SO grateful for this story, a winter night's conversation between two of my favorite characters about family, community, history, and books. It gets at that feeling I love about the canon, that everyone is pursuing their odd individual destinies against the backdrop of a complex web of community.

I wrote a story for the "Fall of Magic" arc of Friends at the Table. That little campaign bookended my year, since it was my introduction to the show just about a year ago, and it was nice to come back around to it at the end of the year. There's a character here who speaks largely in something like erasure poetry, and I actually did use erasure to create their first bit of dialogue.

And I'm posting something of my own right now! The Consolations of Arabella Strange is a story I began writing in the summer of 2010 while living abroad and feeling extremely set adrift; over the years I both circled back to add to it, and raided it for parts, and I had more or less given up thinking about finishing it until earlier this year when I came across someone else's opinions about Arabella, which seemed to me just incorrect enough to be irritating. I came back to the draft then and discovered that the ending which had eluded me for so long was staring me in the face, courtesy of some chapters I wrote in 2017. The fic will be seventeen chapters in total (which only adds up to around 11,000 words) and I'm posting them one at at time, both because it allows me to be finicky about getting the formatting right and because it took such a long time to write that I can't quite face taking it public all at once. I have more to say about this fic, but I think I'll wait to say that stuff until it's all up.
