I thought I would do a little shameless self promotion once again, since I've been posting chapters in the holiday themed Round Robins kindly hosted by the delightful and talented ChrissyQuinn. So, to that end, here are some links for you: From the Hallowe'en themed AFF's Tales from the Shoutbox 2015 collection, we have Feed the Land. And from the winter holiday collection, AFF's Deck the Shoutbox 2015, I offer Yule's Gift. Enjoy, and if you care to leave a review for me, or any of the other very talented participants, we'd all appreciate it!

And more reviews! A Very Cliched Christmas I'm not even sure where to begin, so let's just say that I'm still giggling. When you set out to hit every slash cliche, you certainly mean it, including the dreaded MPreg! I'm even willing to forgive the anal cervix, though, because this was abso-fucking-lutely, brilliantly funny. My Santa hat is off to you for one of the most delightful parodies ever to tickle the pixels of my monitor. And it'll be all your fault that I sit up all Christmas Eve, hoping to snag one of those pretty reindeer. The Phone, Part II Oh, Des, yet another absorbing and slightly disturbing look into your dystopia. It's such a complex world, but there are still certain truths that hold for humanity, no matter what, and you bring those out so well. No matter what, remembering those lost is always going to be one of our very human traits. Of course, sometimes the tables are turned, as you have done in this story. Thank you!

Auld Lang Syne Another sweet and lovely story! I can actually empathize a great deal with Jamila and that awful sense of holiday blahs. Sometimes all the enforced merriment is enough to make me want to hide on a cold porch, too. But let me tell you what I loved about this story. You took a kiss and turned it into this utterly wonderful, sweet awakening, and even though they didn't manage to get past the kiss (not for lack of desire, mind you!), it was still a beautiful consummation of new feelings. A new year is a beginning, and Jamila and Cory are definitely beginning something special. Thank you for this treat of a story! And thank you, KoKoa, for the lovely review. I really was always intrigued by the way the Holly King and Oak King change places at the Solstices, and being me, I had to poke it. I'm sure the gods will kick my butt at some point for this one, but it was too good to pass up. I'm glad Derwen's heartache came through. I thought it made more sense to have him be the one who had gotten sick of the endless cycle, although he presides over the winter months as well.

I'll add this to the queue for email redaction. It can take at least 48 hours or more, due to real life obligations for our tech admin, so please be patient. In future, when reviewing while not logged in, you can use the word "Private" in the email field. You can also use a pen name rather than your real name. Thanks!

Des, thank you! I like the old legends, and I like playing around with them a bit.

No time frame as far as we're concerned. The co-authorship is valid as long as you both want it to be, so you can post whenever you're ready.

Scribe sent us his permission, so you're set to go!

I'll start it off! The Frost Effect I absolutely loved this story, KoKoa! I love your Frost, and Kris is pretty damned hot, too. And there's nothing like a little romance in the air to make the holiday season bright. You have such a lovely way of making me see the scene, too, and that's a marvelous gift. Mistletoe Hanging And on the opposite end of the spectrum, wow, Des! Very powerful story. It begins with such a sweet and familiar premise, a winter holiday dance, and then, wham! Your world erupts in the sort of conflict you excel at portraying. Beautifully done!
