Without spoiling anything (I'm pretty sure), I was going over my yuletide fic again and realised - sadly, not for the first time - that every single fic I write is exactly the same. Basically:

- Characters banter about stuff.

- Then shenanigans! Hijinks of various and sundry kinds ensue.

- Makeouts.

- Now they're ~sexy bantering.

- End with some sort of indication that the characters are totally going to hook up again.

Ta da, now you're a story! And I mean, it's not like I really care? Because obviously the kind of fic I like to read and/or write, but, you know, it's a tiny bit depressing to realise you can only really do one thing, and you just keep doing it over and over. Also, I cannot end fics to save my life. ENDINGS, WHAT ARE THEY. And writing sexy kissing is hard! I keep coming up with possible lines and then being EW NO THAT'S ACTUALLY GROSS NOT SEXY, and so all my makeout scenes end up being pretty much the same. Oops!

But anyway, I finished editing my yuletide fic! And I picked up a pinch hit, and I'd really like to write some treats but it's like 7pm on Christmas Eve, so probably not. Also, my main fic is super obviously mine, so I probably won't be doing the whole 'guess which yuletide fic I wrote' thing this year, since I'm pretty sure it couldn't be any more obviously written by me if it had my name on it. ANYWAY I'M SUPER EXCITED ABOUT YULETIDE THOUGH. AND THEN FESTIVIDS IN JANUARY. SO GREAT.
