Yes, the old thread was getting mighty full ... and this new thread is opened in a surge of hope that there will still be a need for it!
Currently there is some discussion warming up about the annual Secret Santa M/L fic exchange challenge. If you think you'd like to join in, just let us know and we'll sign you up. We haven't discussed yet what the form or format will be this time, but our past challenges, for both the standard Christmas and Christmas-in-July challenges, have used a simple gift exchange: you list what you want to see and don't want to see in gift fic written just for you, and your gift request is thrown in a hat (or a cup or a box; you get the idea) and the moderator draws and distributes the gifts -- then you write a story as a Secret Santa author for the person you've drawn. Arrangements are made for providing gift fic to those who don't feel they can write a story but would still love to receive one (as in, some authors volunteer to do double duty) and for help lines if you're stuck mid-story and need ideas. Feel free to jump in if you'd like to give it a try; we'll probably come up with deadlines & posting dates soon, but we're always pretty low key and allow plenty of time for posting. It's a way we can be sure to get a fresh batch of Max & Logan fic each year so please join if you're thinking you'd like to try -- and show the love when you see the stories being posted later on!

Unless something isn't showing yet, I think I may be first up. We have a Christmas exchange fic challenge going as usual, with posting to fun from December 24 through the "12 Days of Christmas," so look for M/L fic to be posted from now through January 6th (or is it 5th? I'm not certain if we start counting on the 24th or the 25th!) In addition to a fic created with prompts from our Secret Santa giftee, a couple or more of us are doing an extra fic for our faithful reader/ reviewer, Annie200. And my extra got done before my main fic! So for Annie, The ExtraOrdinary has been posted.

The first three stories listed here have been posted in the authors' or recommendations threads on DAR, but we ought to have them here in a bunch too. The last two are newly posed on this site. While we expect even more, a listing of this year's Christmas fic is below, with apologies for the delay: Mari's Secret Santa story for JeanetteG this year: Masquerade Herumor's gift for me: Troublesome GiftsThe Day The Sun Shined On Max is Jeanetteg's fic for Nattylovesu, and Natty's fic for Herumor, is It's Not About Secret Santa, and... finally ... my gift for my official Secret Santa giftee (as opposed to my extra goodie one for Annie) -- ironically, after Natty's -- is Secret SantaI know I say it every year, but there just aren't too many M/L writers out there anymore, brothers & sisters, and an actual handful of stories posted around the same time is rare! If you like to read M/L fanfic, please stop by and check these out -- and tell the authors you did! No matter what you think of it, this stuff takes time to crank out, especially when fit in among all the real life things that have to be done. No law says you have to read it but if you've been a silent lurker, reading on the sly, please step up and leave these folks a thank you. You have no idea how much it means unless you've done some of this yourself! Just a quick thanks in the pot makes a writer's day...

We're not done yet! Latenightrain has posted her Christmas gift for Mari -- as noted elsewhere by ML Fan, the first three chapters of Upstairs, Downstairs have been posted, answering, among other things, that pesky question: how in the world does Mrs. Moreno have a place above the penthouse?? Ho ho ho, peeps!

It's that time again! The annual Christmas in July M/L Challenge! As mentioned, our little group of M/L writers is growing littler (and busier) each month, it seems, so no special rules this time, just the challenge to post some M/L fic, either as a new story or an update to one already posted. More certainly to come, but to start things off, my contribution: Variya, Variya
