Dear mystery Yulegoat!

This is a - possibly over-cautious - note to say that I am not sure what my internet access situation will be over the holiday period (visiting relatives, you know how it is...), and that while I'm dying to read your fic, I may have problems actually getting at it :( So don't panic if I haven't commented, I'm not spurning your lovingly crafted offering, and I will read it and squee as soon as I possibly can!

But hopefully this post is a bit redundant and I will have managed to find internet...

Happy Yuletide!

A happy Christmas to all who celebrate it - and, indeed, happy festival of choice if you're celebrating something different, and for that matter, if you're not celebrating anything, then I hope you had a lovely day nonetheless.

The 25th of December, of course, also brings Yuletide! I had two splendid gifts.

The first, The North Face of the Eiger is Swallows and Amazons fic, set a few years post canon, in which Nancy and Titty climb the North Face of the Eiger, otherwise known as Jack's Rake. The characterisation, and the way Titty and Nancy think about the world is spot on - it feels like an extension of canon.

The second is Go and Catch a Falling Star, a plotty cross-over in which Harriet and Peter investigate mysterious cases of spontaneous combustion in Denver, only to find themselves crossing swords with a strange chap calling himself the Doctor, and his two 'cousins'. This is an ingenious blend of the two canons, and the resolution felt very fitting to both sources.

I haven't got any further through the Yuletide fics, but I expect I'll have a rec post up later in the week!

I wrote a fic, a treat, and a Madness ficlet - I suspect at least one of them is really obvious, but I will offer a drabble for the first person to correctly guess each one...
