HLH_Shortcuts '23 has begun releasing

[community profile] hlh_shortcuts, the annual Highlander fanfic exchange, has begun releasing. As usual, it starts at the winter solstice (Duncan's birthday) and continues as long as the stories last, unveiling several per day. You can follow the releases on their DW community or in this year's AO3 collection. Currently, 4 stories are live, 19 are in the collection, and a few pinch-hits or extensions are outstanding. (Naturally, HL is too big for Yuletide.)

While folks were waiting for the new stories, [personal profile] havocthecat posted links to all the past years of the exchange (2007-2022), including the LJ years in which folks emailed their stories to the mod for her to manually post anonymously on the community, and then manually edit in the names after reveals, because an important part of this event's tradition is the author guessing game, and there was not yet an AO3 ready to handle that kind of functionality directly in the happily better way that leaves the posted stories fully controlled by their authors. In addition, Havoc asked for recommendations from past years, and folks have recommended 13 stories so far! Read the recommendations.

I do have a story I've written in this year's collection. Many thanks to those who brainstormed and/or beta-read with me!

I look forward to reading the new stories...
