reveals!

[holli]

It is Yuletide reveal time! So I can tell you all that this year I wrote:

First and Foremost, a Discworld story about Angua and feminism,

and one beaded blue silk Fortuny Delphos, mint condition, never worn, a Doctor Who RPF AU wherein Matt Smith, Karen Gillan, and Arthur Darville run a vintage shop together. Because write what you know, right?

I loved that Discworld fic!

Also, I haven't gotten around to the Doctor Who RPF fic yet (I'm still working my way through ALL the yuletide fic), but as soon as i read the summary I went, "hmmm, I bet holli wrote this..."

Yeah, I think I was a little obvious with that one. I'm glad you liked the Discworld story!

You had me at Angua. And Delphos. (I was actually kind of skimming because most of my DW flist is crossposts from/to LJ, but then I went WAIT DELPHOS WHAT?)

I don’t complain about the girls who come in asking for the nineteen-twenties, and throw a fit when I explain the clothes are too fragile to wear out and too small to fit them besides.

Matt had bought the place from the owner after that, and done as well by it as anyone who’d owned it.

That is a thing that happens! I once had a woman get *really* mad at me when I wouldn't let her try on the impossibly tiny Titanic-era silk and lace gown that we had hanging on the wall so no one would destroy it by, well, trying it on.

Then she insisted on trying on a 1940s cotillion gown that was also too small for her and nearly got stuck in it. And left everything she tried on in piles on the dressing room floor. And haggled over the stuff she *did* buy.
