Yuletide Reveals

So these were by me! I'm not sure why the recip didn't respond to the treat, because I went back and checked their previous Yuletide letter (placeholder only for this year) and I don't think I hit any of their DNWs? Fork it seems to be decently well received though. It was fun to re-watch the movie for sheer nostalgia too. Yes, I can still sing most of the songs from memory and recite whole sections of dialogue. XD

I'm not thrilled with the title for this one. So weird, because usually the title comes to me first, but even after I'd written it I couldn't seem to find a label I was happy with, although I liked the structure and feeling of it.

I might try to sign up for Yuletide properly this year now that I know I can write fast enough and have a list of ideas I would like fic for in tiny fandoms. :) I was particularly tickled this year because one of my GOSH I LOVE THIS fic recs was actually by an author I knew in a fandom they had never written for. Like no wonder the style of it hit my sweet spot like anything! LOL

Hope you're all having a Happy New Year! 

 

Snowflake Challenge: Self Intro

Challenge #1

In your own space, introduce yourself! Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

I think most people following me have been around since the other snowflakes, but here is me in a nutshell, nametag meme ganked from teigh_corvus :

If you want to participate, share this in your own space so your followers can get to know you.

Other things I've been known as (that I'm willing to share) ...
She/her, you can call me Energy or NRG. I've always been NRGburst whether on ff.net, twitter, LJ, 8tracks, AO3 or tumblr.

A bit about my nonfannish life ...
I live in Japan and am married to a Japanese man and have two Japanese kids, but I'm Chinese Canadian. I teach English and love travelling.

A bit about my fannish life ...
I've always been a fic-writer, but I like making GIFsets too. I usually do one fandom at a time- the thing I was super into this year was Arya/Gendry from Game of Thrones. I tend to stan female characters and prefer female POV in most things. Honestly tired of narratives that need me to see the good in a badly behaved white male character. 

Things I'm super-enthusiastic about
Right now, reading! I've finished 3 books in the past few days that were all good to excellent: The Alice Network by Kate Quinn (SO GOOD! I want my own copy!), Uprooted by Naomi Novik (Also excellent and worth owning. Such good worldbuilding and action/tension loaded.) and Clean Sweep by Ilona Andrews (Pretty good first novel in a series. A fun Fantasy/SF premise and relatable heroine and two sexy love interests.)
I also love The Dragon Prince fandom right now, and I'm guessing The Witcher will be up my alley, judging by the GIFsets going by on tumblr. 
I will be doing trope_bingo  and chocolateboxcomm this year as well as snowflake.
Fics that I want to write: GoT: Sansa/Podrick, Sansa/Yara, Bran/Jojen fix-it as well as the War for the Dawn oneshot post Bound.


My transformative works policy is on my stickied post, although that post needs updating now that Yuletide reveals have gone up.

Feel free to friend me, ask any questions and/or gush about shared faves! :)
