There's truly no time like the holidays. What's better than copious amounts of food, quality time with family and friends, hearing the sweet sound of 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' on repeat, and unmanaged financial stress from our capitalist overlords?
Gift exchanges of course!
I enjoyed participating in Jinglemas, probably because I drew characters that I was able to write a not-horrible story with. (I saw the combinations other authors received. I don't know what I would have done with some of those.)

For those of you not familiar with Jinglemas, it's a tradition that some in the FimFic community like to participate in around the holidays. To keep it short, it's a Secret Santa of sorts, but instead of giving some kind of annoying tchotchke that sits on your office desk, you get to write someone a story! I personally haven't participated myself yet, but I'm totally hyped to do it this year!
... Monday had quite a few notifications in our feeds, eh?
First, please read this wonderful story by Carabas:
This was my gift in the JingleMas exchange, and it is wonderful! My prompt was Rainbow Dash and Sweetie Belle. After my recent "For Better and For Worse," those two were on my mind. I wanted to see what a better writer than I could do.
In case you hadn't heard, Jinglemas 2018 is live, including my submission, which you're welcome to try to find. I also received a delightful story featuring some fantastic Discord shenanigans. The compilation will only be up for a short while before it goes down and the authors will put up their entries on their own accounts, so go check it out while you can!
So I wrote one last pony story for the year, Holiday Gig. Y'all should go read it!
I even finished this story a couple days ago, so I got to post it first thing in the morning, whee.

It's a WONDERFUL project that writers do every year, and I love it lots. even if I'm not a part of it this year. So happy holidays, hope this helps you jingle your bells.
(hopefully it stays up now so I can post this blog!)

Well an, almost-new Chrisfic, if you read it during the past week or so, while it was part of the Jinglemas post.
Anyway, yes, I just published my Secret Santa entry as its own piece:
It's... actually better. Not good, but better.
The year was practically barren, but thanks to Jinglemas I was able to push another story (yay for the incredible speed). While it's not brilliant, it's pretty decent to read (I guess).
And my dopamine levels tell me it's a good thing.
If everything goes smoothly, it will be out on 22nd of Dec. Until then, farewell.
It's that time of year again. The annual Jinglemas fic exchange is upon us, and all are welcome to join in. The full details can be found here: https://www.fimfiction.net/blog/878734/jinglemas-2019-enrollment-is-now-open
With about 4 minutes to spare, I have finished NaNoWriMo 2020 at a whopping 50,050 words written over the course of the month. I literally spent every day of this month writing something, and though my intention was to work on my story, Make Love, Not War, I know my creativity too well. That's why the NaNo project was called "Make Love, Not War (and other stories)." Now here's a rundown of what stories I worked on, and
So I'm writing. Writing fanfic, even! Yaaay!
Well, not today, as I've got plans after work, but I'm just about done with this Jinglemas story.
... it's just that, more or less completely by accident, it turned into fluffy shipping stuff. I didn't even mean to! It's just the only real way I can see to wrap things up in a themely and timely manner. Go figure.
I am a monster.

Feel I should do my part to signal boost Jinglemas once more. It was a lot of fun to write for last year, and I hope that things will be able to go a bit more smoothly with the new system they seem to have set up.
As above, check it out here: https://www.fimfiction.net/group/213263/jinglemas.
Also considering commissions, but I'm unsure if there is any interest.
As always, PM me or comment below with any thoughts you have. . .
AN: So far, I've got studs, insulation, and I need just a few more materials before I can finish the Fourth Wall!
The FiMFic Secret Santa has gone live! Fifty short stories (plus maybe half a dozen more to be posted when their authors finish up) in one big awesome megapost of Christmas Hearth's Warming cheer. And one of them's mine!
The newest version of Jinglemas has just been released. I both wrote and received a story, so please go read it before all of the stories scatter to the nine winds!
