Commentary requested by xsmoonshine for The Heart of Autumn (Li Mu-bai/Yu Shu-lien, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon)

Happy Holidays to all!

From my yuletide author, a lovely note-perfect holiday in the Once and Future King-verse which would fit seamlessly into canon. Sir Grummore's and the Wart's voices in particular are spot-on.

And from multi-talented ambientlight, the perfect Maloki/Mushishi crossover, with Loki, Yamino and Adashino exactly as one would imagine them, and more besides ^_~


thanks to ambientlight for posting my effort as well. You are too kind!

(incidentally, has anyone else found that not all comments are showing up? How will the authors reply?)

Watched Stardust yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed it with no preconceptions, not having read the book or any reviews. The veteran actors looked like they were having fun, and the young ones were perfectly serviceable in their roles.
I found Captain Shakespeare rather more attractive than Tristan, though.

Next up, maybe: Lust, Caution. Seems that the only thing it has in common with Stardust is that they are both based on written works. Opinion will probably be coloured (bad pun) by having read Eileen Chang's story.

In other news, have obtained Yuletide source in bargain corner, after finding out to my complete surprise that I didn't actually possess it. Wonder if my impressions of it will still be the same after so many years.

The Yuletide 2006 fic-exchange reveal:

Fic written for tarigwaemir: from the closed world to the infinite universe (Mushishi, Ginko and Tanyuu)
Many, many thanks are due to qwerty for beta-ing, which I attempted to express in the post-reveal dedication but feel that another shout-out would not go amiss ^_^
still no summary! /unrepentant

Fic written for me by lovely yuletide santa kittydesade: My Lady (Gormenghast, Steerpike/Fuchsia from Steerpike's POV)
The Gormenghast fandom needs more love!

And fic for and from very talented f-list and friends-of-friends: jan's and qwerty's. Go read!

apologies for not commenting on fic aside from tactics, since my knowledge of other fandoms is very limited.

This actress has been making a habit of films featuring duplicates.
She could make it a Triple Crown if this novel were made into a movie, though it might be a bit of a stretch for her acting abilities if her recent work is anything to go by.
Please avoid clicking if averse to spoilers.

A clone with fic-writing abilities would be needed very useful for yuletide, since my inspiration has completely run dry at this point.
