yuletide  reveals are up, I see.

So, I wrote Some Man's Scheherazade for easilymused1956, and I whined and moaned about it on g-talk to everyone who would hear (esp. 22by7 and dearlyderanged) because I was having some species of writers' block and, also, omg, hard. However, she liked it, which makes me happy, and I liked it, which surprised me.

And I wrote, for treats:

O that you were yourself! (Shakespeare in Love) for aurilly,
Pinjre Mein Chand (Kaminey) for applegnat,
Crying Blood for Vengeance (Iliad) for skazka (who I cannot trace)
Dasrathi (Ramayana) for steelehearts
Panch Kanya (Ibis trilogy) for dhobikikutti .

Excellent haul, if I say so myself. *radiates smugness*

Utterly beaten by the gift I got, though: Pyrrha, which is Fire from Heaven Alexander, and made me catch my breath, quite.

I've had a rotten couple days, but better now. Hopefully 2010 will be better than this last year.
