Happy Yuletide!

The Yuletide Archive is open, with 2075 stories in 1181 fandoms! Good work, Yuletide writers!

I received two absolutely marvelous stories for Yuletide, and one for Happy Belated Treatmas. I'll rec them tomorrow, when I make up a longer rec list.

Reccing and rec lists is one of the most fun aspects of Yuletide - I always find great stories to read that I would have otherwise missed. I hope you'll rec your favorites too. Link to your lists at yuletide, so everyone can enjoy them.

I've only had time to read my own gift stories so far, but browsing through the fandom lists, I'm very intrigued to see three articles on hyena, tardigrade, orchid, and wasp literature and linguistics (The Author of the Acacia Seeds - Ursula K. Le Guin, six stories about four minutes and thirty-three seconds of silence (4'33" - John Cage (Song)), and three stories in an old favorite book of mine which I've never read fic for, The Forgotten Beasts of Eld - Patricia A. McKillip .

What looks intriguing so far? What have you enjoyed? Are you going to read and rec with me?
