I am so very psyched for Yuletide! Maybe it's because there was so much time to write this year, but I've been sitting on my hands for the past two weeks to stop myself from refreshing the fandoms list every two seconds or so. Also the Madness collection seems to have opened for posting ahead of time! Two of my requested fandoms have stories in the main collection, but I'm pretty sure I know which gift is mine because I requested a very specific character that no one else did, and couldn't resist the temptation to present-shake, haha. :)
I wrote 15000+ words this Yuletide (not all for my main assignment, I've been treat-writing as well) which for me is kind of an accomplishment! So, yes, proud and happy and looking forward to when the archive opens!
Something else I'm - rather unexpectedly, I have to say - looking forward to: the Merlin series finale on Christmas eve! I really wasn't too impressed with the first half of this season, but still pushed through and have found myself really enjoying the last few episodes. Also, Mordred (I still have to actively stop myself from calling him Morden out of pure habit, argh! That tells you a lot about my familiarity with Babylon 5 as opposed to with Arthurian mythology :) ) has been by far my favorite bit of this season and is continuing not to disappoint.
Please, makers of the show, let the final episode be something to remember fondly, at least! I don't even need a happy ending; just make sure we finally do get that emotional payoff we've been waiting for for all this time! PLEASE.
Also, Star Trek Into Darkness trailer, HELL YES! I'm firmly in the camp that doesn't want Benedict Cumberbatch to be playing Khan (in the philosophy "they did it right the first time; if it ain't broke, please don't try to fix it") and from the trailer at least that's starting to look increasingly unlikely, so I'm feeling a lot more relaxed about this movie now. (As for the infamous hands scene, it would not at all be out of characters for the creators to be messing with the fans' minds, so I'm just taking it as a lovely homage to a beloved scene and not much more.) I just hope I'll be able to love the upcoming movie as much as I loved the previous one - but as that will depend more on the characterizations (Bones! Spock! Uhura! Pike! Chekov!) than on the actual plot, I'm not too worried.
