I was browsing through my fic folder this morning, and realized I have a whole bunch of stories begun whose endings I have no idea of any more. So here are the bits and pieces I wrote down at various times - perhaps this will jog my memory (and perhaps it won't) but in the meantime, snippets!

( Teyla meditates )

( Todd contemplates his escape )

( Honky Tonk II )

( Ocean's 11, SGA-style (which I since found out someone else is writing, so I stopped, 'cause it wouldn't be fair to steal their thunder) )

I wrote six Yuletide Madness stories! I don't think they shout out that I wrote them, but I could be wrong, and if anyone wants to guess, feel free - a drabble to anyone who guesses one correctly! Wheeeee ♥

rivkat has made a wonderful post about Yuletides past: [Yuletide Retrospective], a fascinating read (with links!)

As someone who doesn't participate in Yuletide, I've been fantastically bemused by the complaints about AO3 this year - since I think of the end of December not only as the time when everyone compiles their Yuletide recs, but as the time of year everyone bemoans server issues and uploading glitches and slow access speeds and the like. From out here in the Yuletide hinterlands, this year looks pretty much like all the years past. (Perhaps this is the Yuletide version of Festivus, complete with the traditional airing of grievances?) As rivkat's post demonstrates, Yuletide exists despite the servers always experiencing problems, and there being glitches (even hacks!) and all manner of other problems that the administrators tackle with gumption and dedication at an incredibly busy time of year. No matter what, it's a fan-run festival in which thousands of people participate, and which - at root - is held together not by coding, but by goodwill and energy and generosity and time. As a reader - thank you to the writers, the coders, the tag-wranglers, the administrators, the mods; to everyone who makes Yuletide a success year after year despite the challenges it faces. It's truly fandom at its best.
