Pinched!

[st_aurafina]

I just saw my name come up on the pinch hit list - and now it's gone!

Hey, pinch hitter! Here's my dear author letter, though it's in my request, too. I think I just wanted to say hi, and thank you, and have fun. Yuletide is fun! Please have fun! I'm going to. If you're stalking my fic, I'm st_aurafina.


And in other news, I got my story posted. Yay! I never want to leave it that late again. (I say that every year, and every year, it gets closer and closer to deadline.)


And in other, other news, it's really fucking hot. Give me your snow, you northern denizens. I want it.

I just saw your name on the pinch hit list too - lucky thing! The one year I ended up on pinch hit, I got, I think 4 full length stories! LOL!

I know! The pinch-hittees are very, very well looked after, and the pinch hitters are just an awesome and enthusiastic bunch. So looking forward to Christmas day.

Yes, the year I was on the pinch-hit list, I got three stories. (not full length, but still)

[st_aurafina]

The pinch-hitters are totally awesome. (I say this because I've been one! But they really are.)

come to sydney! it's muggy but still fairly cool. (today's quote of the day from work was, "It's not cold. It's just not hot." indeed.)

I lived in Bondi Beach for a year! Summer was very strange - the same weather every day, which is just spooky for a Melbourne girl. Hot in the morning, cool breeze in the evening, rinse and repeat until autumn, with breaks for occasional thunderstorms. I was very confused. It was nice, but I missed my four seasons in one day.

This is one of those years when everything you think you know about the local weather conditions is wrong. A very cool and wet December in Sydney. Although not really four seasons in one day: mostly just early spring, on repeat.

Well, now I'm just jealous. A cool and wet December would be lovely.

it's not quite as mundane a little further north, where i live, but, yes, summer in sydney is not my favourite thing ever. actually the weather has been very changeable lately, flirting with showers and then showing a bit of sun now and again, just to spice things up. alas, today is hot and sticky, so you're probably better off where you are. :)

Yeah, I want my snow back too. It's been a WEIRD winter so far.

[st_aurafina]

Oh, no! I want you to have snow, too!
