I posted recs for 4 Yuletide (and Madness) fics over on my blog for Ilona Andrews (Kate Daniels, Breach Wars) and the Singing Hills Cycle over on my blog. Breach Wars is not yet categorized on AO3 and not showing up in the fandoms list, so please go check out those fics if you're an Ilona Andrews fan!

Thank you for all the work that went in to the Yuletide 2025 collection and event.

Now that author names have been revealed at the main Yuletide 2025 and Yuletide Madness 2025 collections, it's traditional for people to share thoughts on what they made this year. Maybe you want to write a post on your own social media (Dreamwidth or other) about your thoughts during canon consumption, your false starts, your research rabbit holes - please link it here! Or maybe you'd like to comment directly with much shorter thoughts. There's room for options in between, too.

See past posts at the reveals tag.
