I only wrote one fic for Yuletide this year, for the Lord John Grey books - but I loved researching and writing it! It was enormous fun to race through the canon again, and walk around with "What Jane Austen Ate and What Charles Dickens Knew" tucked under my arm. I had a row of tabs open on the history of fox-hunting and timelines for neo-classicism and Debrett's Peerage - all for throw-away lines and casual conversations.
