Primarily Harry Potter and Merlin, with a smattering of other fandoms from yuletide, but that may change.

Oh, dear, where did 2012 go? I haven't done anything fannish since I posted by 2011 round-up at the start of the year.

It's been a fairly hectic year - workwise, with six teachers on maternity leave and not enough funds to get cover in for all of them and a not-unrelated promotion I didn't really want. In real life, I had a final falling out with my useless landlady, and had to relocate fairly quickly over the summer, and I didn't get a working internet connection back until mid-November, by which time I was drowning in Nanowrimo woes.

All that, of course, means I missed the sign ups for absolutely everything, and currently have no fest fics lined up. I'm waiting for the tsunami of Yuletide pinch hit requests to start, but may well have time on my hands once the holidays start. If anyone needs a beta read or pinch hit after the 14th, let me know.

Despite all of that, I have written more in the last six months than I have in the last three years before that. I decided to take note of some of the writing skills I'd learned in fandom and try my hand at original m/m romance and now I can't stop the words from pouring out. It's wonderful and I'm enjoying every second of it. If anyone wants to see what I'm up to with that, you can find me on DW as amy_raenbow, on LJ as amy_raenbow, on Twitter (amy_raenbow) and, as of yesterday, at Dreamspinner Press, Amazon and All Romance eBooks. Come and squee with me :)

Recs in Fandoms G-A (still going through the archive backwards ~_^)

( Greek and Roman Myths, Famous Five, Fairy Tales, Drina, Dalemark, Chrestomanci, Ballet Shoes )

I read through the archive in reverse alphabetical order by fandom each year (everyone needs a system, right ~_^). So here, to get started are some recs in Fandoms Z-R:

( Young Wizards, Venetia, Valdemar, Tough Guide to Fantasyland, Tortall, The Masqueraders, Swallows and Amazons )

*bats eyelashes* Can anyone do a quick beta for a shortish Remus/Sirius piece? Historical AU and I'm not convinced it works. I can offer Yuletide (or Merlin or HP) Brit-picking in return or can beta most British kidlit and a fair range of Fantasy and SF.

And, on an unrelated note, if you haven't done so yet, go to Google and type in 'Let it snow.' XD

Bleurgh. I hate the autumn term - flu followed by sore throat followed by colds followed by oh-my-god-what-the-hell-lurgy-is-that and every day you take off requires you to write hours worth of cover lessons and feel guilty about the extra work you're piling on your colleagues (I'm the only person in my department who isn't brand new, running large parts of the school, or in the midst of massive personal upheaval so I have to just keep plugging along or everything may well fall apart). Haven't seen any Merlin yet, still four or five episodes behind on Doctor Who, grumpy, whiny (did you notice ^_~) and counting the hours until half term.

But I did write something the other week and just kept forgetting to link to it here. Doh. Anyhow, I wrote mad X-Men FC/The Eagle crossover for Lola, because there can never be enough of Charles Xavier in a toga, right?

I took the week off from snarling at the second draft of my book to answer some PornBattle prompts, choosing fandoms with the help of a random letter generator. Three fics resulted, with some pairings and voices I've never tried before (but thoroughly enjoyed). Links to AO3

Disclaimer: This is for fun, not profit, and I have no rights over this version of the legend.
Summary: The children of Camelot, during the Great Purge. Leon and Morgause are both old enough to remember this time, and I've wondered for a while if they knew each other.
Notes: This started as the first section of a 5 Things about Leon and turned out to be a story of its own. That said, I've got more I want to say about him. And now I'm going to bed, because I've been writing this all night.


( You forgot there had been a dragon roosting on the roofs of Camelot once. )

For reposting and de-anoning on camelotsolstice fics, especially if yours was one of the mystery missing fics. I spotted this in a comment to a recent mod post over there, and I doubt there's any way of officially announcing it, so the more signal-boosting the better. 'Twould be very nice to get a finalised master-list.

So, is it time to unilaterally de-anon on camelotsolstice fics yet? Because, y'know, I'm proud of that story and I really want to claim it.
