Yuletide reveal

Happy 2016!

For Yuletide 2015, I wrote only one fic:

Old Dogs and New Tricks (4394 words) by implicated2
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Carry On - Rainbow Rowell
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Agatha Wellbelove, Original Character, Penelope Bunce
Additional Tags: Dogs, Post-Canon, mild potty humor, Magic
Summary: Agatha, San Diego, one year later.

This wasn't a Yuletide where I felt like stretching myself, so it was nice to be matched with a prompt that invited a gentle gen fic about boundaries and dogs. I am pleased with what I wrote, and though not many people have read it so far (55 hits at last count), it seems to have gotten a positive reception from those who did.

Anyway, I was so spaced out at the time that I uploaded it that I forgot two very important things. The first was to include a summary, which I sheepishly added the morning after the collection opened. And the second was to thank my beta reader [personal profile] mayhap, whose insights were responsible for the tone of the fic being light and comic rather than a giant mopefest. I've added a note to the fic. Thank you, mayhap!

I am still making my way through the rest of my Yuletide to-read list, a process made infinitely slower by the fact that I, like everybody else in the goddamn universe, have fallen head over heels into Hamilton and its associated Twitter/Tumblr/YouTube glory. And AO3 glory. For all my feeling distant from fandom, if I could figure out a way to write in this fandom that works for me and isn't the kinky rarepair het rpf I have inevitably started not-so-idly composing, I would be pretty excited about that.

Glad you had fun writing! I haven't read the source material; is it one of those where I'd still get something out of it without knowing canon?

Yay, I'm so glad I was able to help!

Sure, I'd love to!

I think I pretty much have a lot of feelings about Lin-Manuel Miranda interacting with everyone, ever.
