Awww man, I might have an idea for something. I was already planning on trying to write 21-25 fics for Yuletide (since Yule is on the Solstice, but I might go all out). I dunno how well what I'm thinking of will go.

I have this story I wrote two years ago that strangely fits the theme and fulfills most of the prompts. Naturally I won't/can't enter it XD But if anyone is interested in reading it, here's the link Early Snow Again, I am not entering this. *Stoned for shameless advertising*

Just curious... anyone here a fan of any main DCMK pairings (ShinichixRan, HeijixKazuha, KaitoxAoko) or minor pairings (TakagixSato, ShiratorixKobayashi, ShukichixYumi, KogorouxEri, YuusakuxYukiko)? Coz putting them all in a oneshot of 4k words is a bit tough don't you think?
meh, this is just me still undecided on what to write about *sigh*... heheh :">
Still curious, tho.

I'm a fan of all the pairings you mentioned XD
Actually, I don't think I'll be entering this time . . . I have too much homework and other fanfics to do this time and the fact that I don't even have an idea yet . . .

I believe PCT (Poirot Cafe Time). If you haven't noticed yet (I didn't realize right away, so maybe others haven't either), there's a white box with the date and time in the upper right corner above the news feed.

This sounds like fun. I can already imagine something for Tooru and Azusa. (One of them shall hate me later, but it's too much fun. XD)
