Let It Snow!
Dec. 18th, 2009 02:21 amEeeeeeee! Snow!!!!
(And, yes, I know that those of you who live in genuinely cold places are either laughing at or cooing over all the Brits posting the same thing at the moment, but bear with us. The last 'official' White Christmas in the south of England was 1999, before that the early 80s. The most snow we usually get at this time of year is a sleety shower which doesn't settle. So, yes, I'll be here squeeing about my three centimetres of snow ^___^)
I'm now a third of the way through my Yuletide fic, having finally stopped researching and started writing this afternoon. This has definitely been the year of crazy research for both fandom and original stuff. I feel far more knowledgeable about all sorts of odd bits of history now (and my students have now added Spitfires, early 20th century society and seventies music, as well as a few others I can't list here without blowing my anonymity, to the 'Don't get Miss started' list).
Also, slightly belated thanks for the snowflake cookies. Fandom has been making me very happy over the last couple of weeks :)
Snow!!
