Re: Best Yuletide Memories?

[(Anonymous)]

I have many, but I'll always particularly treasure the year I wrote a smutty treat for my BFF, who had been having a spectacularly shitty time with her senior year of college. This was very early days, and treating wasn't nearly as much of a thing as it is now - and it especially wasn't a thing for me. I had no confidence in my writing and could barely handle one assignment! But I banged that thing out on Christmas Eve (before accompanying my parents to their "midnight" mass at 10pm). Not only did she love it, but she apparently had NO IDEA AT ALL that it was me, right up until author reveals, when I got a very surprised and effusive second comment. I was so happy and proud of myself, which was especially great given that I'd been having a shitty few months myself, trying to navigate post-college life.

(Years later, my BFF is signed up for Yuletide for the first time more or less since then, and I'm super happy about it, so I'm feeling all the warm fuzzies in general.)
