OC GiftFic

Title: You Can’t Ruin Chrismukkah
Author: tarotgal
Fandom: The OC
Pairing: canon ones, set during the Chrismukkah episode, season 1, though in a slightly AU sort of way
Disclaimer: I don’t own any of these characters even a little. As such, I don’t get paid for this even a little.
Summary: It’s his first holiday with the Cohens and Ryan gets sick. Not wanting to be a burden, he does his best to hide that fact. But secrets don’t hide for very long in the OC.
Notes: Written for circe as a thank you for all her truly amazing help betaing for me time and time again. I thought this story would never get written! I kept trying and trying and it kept fighting back. But here it is. Hopefully it’s all right. Thank you to symphonyflute for reading over the beginning and really helping me get moving again when I was feeling exceptionally stuck.

Follow the fake LJ cut to my (Gift for circe).

I started this fic over a year ago as a thank you to circe and I just finished it tonight finally. I'm publically extremely sorry for the delay and hope it's enjoyed nonetheless. I really hope I've got the characters down and haven't done anything too strange/cheesy here. Now I'm off to try and finish a Star Wars fic I started for you only a month or so ago, which stands a much better chance of being finished in a timely manner.

Bookcrossing

I'm going to release a few books tomorrow into the wild and I'm thinking about having a bit of an adventure with one of them. *G* Depends how adventurous and sneaky I feel tomorrow, but it should be fun either way. I'll definitely be releasing the first LotR book and 'Where the Red Fern Grows' at a park nearby. It's not supposed to rain but I may put them in plastic baggies just in case. And I'm thinking that if I do have an adventure and it has an interesting ending, I might try to write it up as an article for the site/newsletter. So there's some motivation for me to be brave and waste a day. LOL *makes note to pack food and bring along a writing notebook to pass the time*

As for today's writing:

• I finished the bit of the Spander fic I wanted to finish. Yay!
  
• I finished circe's The OC fic finally
  
• And... that's really about it. I watched Timeline (I'm also finally getting around to reading the book as well) and got a DAMN good Legolas/Gimli bunny (Lady Korana, I'm going to send you an e-mail about this in a moment, actually)

Writing Journal

Come to think of it *thinks* I'm pretty sure I never posted the link to my writing journal. No big loss (I don't anticipate much sneezing-related fic, if any) as I've not posted very much. But there is an h/c-type story up there from last month. And it might be amusing to read this stuff that comes out of my head. I created it with pretty much the same breath as I used to create my dream journal. I just didn't post a link to it. So here we go. It's here: mymightypen

Enjoy. Or don't. Tis okay. It's just play for me. If I decide to do NaNoWriMo I might post in it more frequently... but I'm seriously doubting that's going to happen at the moment.
