First lines!
* King-Lu had always looked out for whatever was coming next, running the odds, testing the angles. A new and nameless thing, First Cow, Cookie/King-Lu. Last year’s Yuletide!
* It’s not like Santa hadn’t noticed Rikimaru before. Cheering for me now, Chuang2021/INTO1, Santa/Rikimaru. Just because I love them.
* She twists the ring, a stolen promise. Slip, Rusalka Rusalka (The Decemberists), Female narrator/Rusalka, triple drabble. Seasonsofdrabbles treat.
* Q’s working off of three monitors at once when James slips into the flat. Casual hello, Craig-era Bond, Bond/Q, drabble. Kissathon.
* “At the wedding. You’ll have to kiss her,” Chusheng leans back against the wall. “In front of people. In front of her father.” Just for practice, My Roommate Is a Detective, Qiao Chusheng/Lu Yao, drabble. Kissathon.
* They knew who they were before, as Korn and Knock, but lately it’s shifted. Character bleed, Thai BL RPF, Max/Tul, drabble. Kissathon.
* Theodora left, of course. Follow, follow, The Haunting of Hill House (novel), Theo/Eleanor. FemslashEx.
Plus Yuletide, so there will be at least two first lines for next year.
Hey, let’s do the
1) First year you signed up for Yuletide
2004 what the heck.
2) Last year you signed up for Yuletide (other than this one)
2020
3) Have you signed up this year?
Heck yes!
4) Have you skipped signing up any years since you first took part?
Nope! Some years it was literally the only thing I wrote.
5) How many years have you defaulted by the default deadline?
I’ve never defaulted, but this year I seriously considered it (only after taking a treat, though.)
6) How many years have you treated in addition to your assignment?
This is the first year I treated. For, what, eight of those years, the holidays were my most intense time at work, so just doing my assignment was a challenge.
7) How many years have you treated but not signed up?
Never. Because I always sign up!
8) How many different canons have you covered in your Yuletide stories?
I’ve never written the same canon twice for Yuletide, so... this year is 19, with the treat. Looking through them was fun; I’d forgotten entirely that I’d written some of them. Like Being Human UK, or The Station Agent!
9) What AO3 ratings have you covered in your Yuletide stories?
General, Teen, Mature. A lot of gen, actually, which I kind of like doing for Yuletide.
10) What AO3 categories have you covered in your Yuletide stories?
M/M, F/F, Multi, F/M, a lot of gen as above. So that's everything, right? I see from this meme that I should probably go improve the tagging for those imported stories. Maybe in the new year.

Stay warm, everyone!
