Yvi

Yo, Santa, you probably hate me a little bit right now because I know my selections are all over the map. Then again, you were matched with me because you're comfortable writing in at least one of those areas, and that just makes me really happy. Have an eggnog!

First things first: Julie Taymor, Tanith Lee, Umberto Eco, and Alexandre Dumas have all rocked my world at various points in my life and I just about hit the ceiling when I was picking my fandoms because there was no way in hell I expected to see The Gods are Thirsty or The Name of the Rose listed, let alone both.

That said, I'm not dead-set on any one thing in particular. With any of these fandoms. I'm just pleased that someone like you exists to scribble about one of them. As long as writing is well-executed and believable, I'm down with it. I love when authors can convey an emotion or environment without spelling everything out or beating me over the head with it. Subtlety is sexy. Personally, I write in a rather abstract style most of the time (all my fic is memmed and tagged, if you want to have a look), but that doesn't mean that's the only style I enjoy reading. Not at all.

( Now, onto specifics: )

I hope you found this helpful instead of frustrating--seriously, just enjoy yourself and I will, too. Best of luck!

Signed up for serenity_santa and my Yuletide recipient sounds awesome, judging by his or her Dear Santa entry. Contemplating 3_ships at the moment, wondering if I should just merrily bounce around and take on all the challenges that appeal to me.

Also, I tried to explain applesauce to my kids today and they were disgusted. Heathens.
