Stories for me to remember to look at via Yuletide 2016

[brightknightie]

I haven't yet read any, but I see that Yuletide 2016 yielded:

• 3 new D&DC stories (and there's 1 that posted independently in October, since the last time I checked)
• 3 new FK stories (and there's 1 that posted independently on Christmas Day)
• 0 new BSG78 stories (although 3 posted independently in November and December)
• 0 new YB stories (although someone included it in a mass crossover in October; otherwise, it last had a story of any kind in 2013)
• 14 new Galavant stories
• 13 new Pokémon Go stories (I didn't know PokéGo fanfic was a thing. But OF COURSE it is.)

And many, many more. Including 4 stories for A Ladies' Guide to Collecting Mermaid Love Songs by Aimee Picchi, which I'd never heard of, but will be looking up on the strength of that title!

I'm particularly looking forward to the D&DC tales. Falling prey to prejudging a fanfic by its tags and summary, I think they look congenial. I shall see... :-)

I thought of you when I saw the the D&DC fics, to be honest. And the FK stories were well worth reading. I think I wound up reccing one of them.

And there is a D&DC story in the Madness collection here if you didn't see it.

Yep, this total of 3 D&DC stories includes the 2 regular Yuletide stories and the 1 Yuletide madness story. :-) Thanks!

I think that I may personally skip these FK stories, at least for now. Making what is likely a foolish economy in my available reading time by prejudging fanfic by its tags and summaries... I see that they're evidently about things I don't wish to dwell on. ~shrug~

I totally get that! I am pretty much the same way. And I know one would not be to your taste at all. The Divia one fascinated me, to be honest, but that dynamic always pulls at me.

If at any point you do feel inclined to dip your toe in the water, the casefic is probably the best bet. (Also my giftfic; but that's beside the point.)

I think it was done an injustice by the author's note, which gives the impression there will be a lot of gore. Yes, it's true that there's a murder case; and, in this instance, the bodies have died of exsanguination. As a result, there's speculation as why, if the criminal is not a vampire, such a thing might have been done. On the other hand, the emphasis is definitely on the investigation, with the focus on finding clues and lots of chit-chat between the investigative team.

If you don't want to risk it, though, that's quite understandable. No one wants your holidays spoiled.

> "I think it was done an injustice by the author's note,"

I think that you may be on to something with this. That opening note has a certain tone that resonated with me as if the author perhaps wasn't highly familiar with FK fandom's norms (though I see now that this is actually her second FK story).
