Dear Yuletide Author

Dear fantastic person who was assigned me for Yuletide,

Hi! Thank you very much for signing up for Yuletide and offering a fandom I requested! I'm excited to see what you come up with.

Some information about me and my reading preferences you may find helpful:

- I'm a goth. (Big surprise, I know.) I have a morbid sense of humor, I love horror movies, I have an enormous bookcase crammed full of vampire books, and I've been accused of springing directly from the brain of Tim Burton. However, I adore fluff and happy endings.

- I love snappy banter and lush descriptions.

- I have a strong aversion to humiliation themes and issues.

- For the fandoms I requested, I would prefer nothing go beyond a PG-13 rating. (These are not the fandoms I read for smut. ::grin::

Again, thank you for offering a fandom I requested!

Would you like gratuitous kitty photos?

Of course you would!



Working from home means kitty lap time! And shockingly, today was one of those days when Vlad decided that he wanted to sit on my lap. (Vlad is very much the Stroppy One's kitten.)

This photo doesn't quite get across how ENORMOUS Vlad is. He and Erzabet are a year and a half old, and they're both bigger than Ruthven. Vlad is possibly bigger than Dread Beast was. He's a huge, muscular, THUMPY kitten. Who is probably not done growing, oh dear.

Miss Erzabet, from last week:
