Just the start of it all

Hello Yuletide author,

First of all, thank you so much! If you have offered any of the fandoms I requested, then you clearly have awesome taste. Even more so than ever now that there is apparently extra bits of matching here and there, I'd like to point out that I firmly, firmly believe that optional details are optional and you can ignore them as much as you want. However, if you find that a little grit helps the pearl to form, here are some further thoughts on what I like about the fandoms I chose (I've also repeated what I put in the optional details box for each one, because in previous years that hasn't been available to anyone writing treats -- whether that's still the case I don't know, but in case it is I thought it might be a good idea).

( But if you don't want to read any of this, that's fine too, because it's OPTIONAL )

Thanks again, you are a star,
Lurky

From everyone pretty much but I did my c-and-p from cakesy:

( under a cut for epic tl;dr )

Snagged from astrogirl2; I would have done this at the end of 2009 rather the beginning of 2010, but then I decided to wait for the Yuletide reveal so I could include those.

( All the fics I'm prepared to admit to writing this year, and some questions about them )

Anyway, er, Happy New Year everyone.

Does anyone else think we're going to get a ( possible part two spoiler )
