Yuletide Ramblings
It's amazing how little most of the ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
yuletide stories read as fanfic. I'm not putting that forward as a good or bad thing, but I do sorta think that there is a slash/fanfic aesthetic, and that the yuletide stories seem much more geared towards a more traditional one. A difference between the way to books versus the way we respond to television? OR something else?
Of course, the stories most likely to have me click on them were ones with summaries that seemed to be female-centered gen; the least were those that sounded like m/m slash. So the fact that my reading was more heavily gen than usual may bias those results.
For some reason, not it seems particularly poignant that there's so little Shakespeare femslash on the web. Maybe I'll write some--either Celia/Rosalind or Kate/Bianca, or both. (Any suggestions as to other possible Shakeseare femslash pairings? Perhaps surprisingly, the possibilities of Learcest doesn't really seem to be exciting me.)
I haven't found anything that really seems reminiscent of Ari's or Carrie's or anyone else's styles (with the caveat that I'm not sure I could recognize most of my friends' styles), so I'm looking forward to the reveal to point out some more good fic. Chances are, though, their stories are in fandoms with which I'm just not familiar.
Same deal as anyone else: you guess which fic I wrote foryuletide or prettylightsfic (or for 3_ships once I write it and it gets posted) and I'll write you something. Something substantial for yuletide, since your chances are something like one in a thousand, more like a drabble for prettylightsfic.
ETA: Comments are now screened. I'll unscreen comments which aren't guesses.
