Aaaaghhh, no one commented on either of my Yuletide fics today! I fail, I fail, I fail!

Seriously, feedback has exceeded my expectations and I'm ecstatic that both fics have gone over well, but at the same time I wouldn't mind a little more feedback either. No writer can say no to that. But since I'm clearly not worthy of reviews anymore, I suppose I'll have to commit seppuku with a pencil and maybe figure out how to post a Yuletide flounce fic. Alack!

And can I just say I am honored to have the top two most prolific Yuletide reviewers, [livejournal.com profile] taskir and [livejournal.com profile] queenzulu, as my friends? Hats off to you, chickens.

I spent most of the evening and night with Xanthe, which always seems to mean shenanigans and food, and am pretty much a zombie right now. However, our sublimely statuesque Serbian waiter with dimples of doom was flirting with me, which was pretty flattering. I've sort of been in this funk where I need reassurance that I'm a worthwhile human being and other trivialities. La Actriz comes home in a couple days and I am going batty waiting to see her. And this mystery present from the Grand Bazaar. But mostly her. Ahem.

Tomorrow, Xanthe and I have plans to hit up a gay club and, if that doesn't satisfy, watch Brokeback Mountain with a bottle of tequila. You know you want to be us. I'm going to try and get a recs post done tomorrow as well. For now, bed.

ETA: Ha! Just saw someone else's Yuletide recs page and one of my fics, as well as the one my Santa wrote for me, are on there. Out of ten recs. What are the odds? I suppose I can put the pencil down for now.

You're not the first person I've seen who's a little disappointed about the reviews of Yuletide fic. Who wouldn't love a little more feedback, really?

It's actually surpassed my expectations very pleasantly, but no matter how many reviews I get I think I'll always be curious to know what more people think. I always have to be critical about something.

PLZ help a more soul understand more of this Yuletide business. Where, Yuletide? Which, Yuletide? Wherefore, Yuletide? How does one comment at all...er, Yuletide? I want to see it, yes I do, but I haven't been keeping up with my flist and now there're a billion entries that I don't have the courage to tackle.

So point, and I shall go.

Run, do not walk, RUN to [livejournal.com profile] yuletide. Go to the search engine and find every rare fandom you ever wanted to read a story in and thought it didn't exist. Then leave comments.

Happy dance for recs. (Pouts that I still haven't gotten any.)

Heh. I rarely do searches on myself because it makes me feel lame, but that's the only reason I know about my recs.

What kind of search did you do? I've just been monitoring the Yuletide posts. Does a rec count if it's from your recipient?

I found one from searching the Yuletide comm, a couple via people on my f-list, and one from a recipient. I also checked to see if anyone had bookmarked either of them on del.icio.us. Shameless, maybe, but I needed a pick-me-up the other night and that helped.
