The end of a year, end of another swath of time.



In this year, we have bought and moved into our new house, and found a new cat. We said goodbye to dear, dear Hajit-ma, and also Scratch. We voted Obama for President and The Bebe turned *eleven*.

Whew! It's been a whirlwind in our personal lives, but a good year over all.

In fannish news, katekat1010 outdid herself all over the place, most especially with an uber salute to my Spander fic Letters and to reremouse and i both with a most amazing tribute to No More Snakes and Ladders. Just - overwhelming and humbling and wonderful.
:)

darkhavens continues to be one of the coolest people online by providing us with a downloadable, art-integrated .pdf of Snakes and Ladders! I know! Such work, such dedication, such find/replace editing of massive typos! Heeeeee. It'll have a permanent home soon, but for now, you can find it at Megaupload or Sendspace:

Thank you so much!
Plus, *podfics* were made! Which blows me away.
The Wolfpack 'Verse by podfic_lover, Song of the Treadmill by twasadark, and South China Sea podfic by juice817 and podbook by cybel.

literati made matching icons for sweptawaybayou and i. I think it speaks for itself. :)



I'm going to do the obligatory fic list here, too, just for anyone that cares, though my tags *are* rather comprehensive. :)
Fics written or finished in 2008, in order....

Treadmill
In Which Pooh and Piglet Go Hunting And Nearly Catch a Woozle, part of the Wolfpack 'verse.
The Canon's Mouth, Conscience Wide as Hell and Mad Blood Stirring, parts of the Aftermath 'verse.
These Rags of Memory for the kamikazeremix challenge.
Wind from the North North-West.
South China Sea.
No Sense At All.

I think, a very good year all 'round.

To my lovely, lovely flist - blessing to you and yours in the coming year. May it be full of health, happiness, good fortune and good times!
Love to you all!

It was a pretty good year, in which we did big things and took long strides - I'm proud that you were there. I am bolstered by your strength and grace each and every day, enjoying a symbiosis with you that fortifies and edifies - truly I am blessed.

I love you, minion, and next year I'll love you more.



Always,
