serenity_ribbonSlipping this in like it totally isn't January 13th, where on earth did that month go.
This was the second year I've done Yuletide and this time 'round I wrote two fics, one in the main collection and one in Madness. (next year, the goal is to write two main collection fics, especially as I should be finished with Uni by that point and have more bloody time).
My assignment was for This is How You Lose The Time War, and has a truly fucking ridiculous amount of kudos and comments, what on earth?? I am just like. absolutely shocked by this you have no idea. Writing it was an uphill struggle. I am the least poetic person you've ever met. I've failed every poetry class I've ever taken.

Summary: On the banks of the Outaouais River, Blue has plenty of time to think.
And then, pretty much entirely on the 24th and 25th I wrote a treat for Winter's King, a short story set partly on Gethen from The Left Hand of Darkness. It was technically written before LHOD and then revised pretty heavily a few years later as the original had binary genders in it. I have both versions and it's fairly interesting to see what changed and what didn't - it's not a simple pronoun switch.

Summary: Argaven had returned to eir old habits of walking the city streets at night in Rer, when it was yet a burned out, blackened husk of a city, half shrouded in darkness. // Argaven XVII returns to Ehrenrang.
On Winter is the first time I've ever used spivak (e/em/eir) pronouns in anything. The first draft got written in three different pronoun sets as I was torn between she (which "Winter's King" uses), they and e but I think this set fit with the story.
