As with the last half a dozen Decembers I'm writing a story for yuletide fanfiction exchange. I got something I really quite like, with a little iteration on the original ideas the original author's characters started springing to life. I've got a story of about 4000 words, but then I got distracted and still need to go back and punch it up throughout to make everything fit well and make sure the characters HAVE all the awesome moments I wanted. And make sure that I actually have enough of the characters it's supposed to be about.
I have also very much enjoyed going to friends' writing evenings.
