I just thought up a title so good, it makes me want to write a story deserving of it.


ETA: I'm pretty sure I'll be in the last batch of pinch hits sent out (speaking of which, we've run into some trouble with Yahoogroups), so if any of you have love for Mad Men, Alan Shore, or Topher Brink, consider this advance notice. You could even combine all my requests and write about Alan and Topher being mad at each other! False alarm. Although you're still cordially invited to write me a stocking stuffer about Alan and Topher being mad at each other.

What's-his-face, Wallace Stevens used to write down titles in a separate book from his poems. Sometimes he went years before finding the right poem for a title, or vice-versa. One notable example is "A Rabbit as King of the Ghosts."

See, if I had years and years, that's probably the method I would choose to employ. (My title isn't nearly as awesome as that one, however.)

Did you get your story squared away?

A Yuletide story? I couldn't do Yuletide this year. :( Way too many obligations with the kids. I think I'll do some NYRs and stocking stuffers (can I do that?), but until I'm finished with my masters work and until I've got the classroom all ready, I can't.

Sadness! For some reason I was convinced you'd signed up. Stocking stuffers are open to anyone with an AO3 (http://archiveofourown.org/") account--if you don't already have one, you can request an invite and they should be able to hook you up pretty quickly.

Good luck with everything!

Which is naturally the reason I'm putzing around on the internet right now. FOR THE CHILDREN.

You're an inspiration.
