yuletide, how I love you! ♥ Every year I seem to spazz when I am writing my fic, and think 'I should not do this again,' but then I get my INSANELY AWESOME gifts and I realize I didn't write complete crap and I actually like it, and my recipient likes what I wrote and I remember that Yuletide is simply made of win.
I didn't give anyone the chance to guess what I wrote for Yuletide orjbbs, mostly because I didn't think anyone would guess Yuletide, and jbbs had us written ALL OVER IT. I never know how to start guessing other people's Yuletide fics, either, since the options are just so VAST.
This year, I wrote for Robin McKinley's Outlaws of Sherwood, which was the second Robin McKinley book I ever read (after Beauty), back in 1997. Yes, 1997. I was in seventh grade and I have been in love with her writing ever since. I have long had an obsession with the Robin Hood myth, and this is possibly my favorite version--so I had massive spazz and flail about writing this. (No, really. I even wrote a research paper on the subject during senior year of college. And had FUN writing it.)

xenokattz and zoe_chan are probably surprised; I had been thinking of attempting to write something for Sunshine, since my recipient loves it so much and I had not read it before--but I hadn't read it before, and I didn't finish it in time. And then Marian popped into my head, started talking and would not shut up.)
So--I wrote Man and Legend, which is Marian's POV before she goes to Nottingham Fair in Robin's place.
Now. I have ficlet requests to play with! (I will take more! Bonus points for anyone who can find me an excuse to write something involving Cissie and Roy. She keeps telling me he takes her to his apartment--not like THAT!--but won't tell me WHY.)
