Whee! Now that

hd_holidays has put up their reveals, I can now admit to the story I wrote, and thank the fabulous

alaana_fair *glomps her* for the awesome fic she in turn wrote for me.

Alaana wrote the amazing Birth of a Wandmaker which I have previously recced.

In addition, I wrote The Christmas Wish for

oldenuf2nb. I'll prolly repost in a day or so.

This was an interesting fest for me to participate in for so many different reasons.

I am not generally one to sign up for lottery fests as I am usually unlucky, but this time I beat the odds and got in. Then I quickly began to panic as this is prolly the largest such fest I've ever been involved in! Happily, the mods were utterly lovely *glomps them* and they quickly reassured me I'd be fine and that my recip (the brilliant and thus intimidating Oldenuf2nb) would love what I wrote. At this point I also should stop and thank

sassy_cissa for her assistance since I pretty much tortured her trying to extract every ounce of information I could to help me write the story. *g*
Interestingly, I picked Harry's house pretty early in the story and it really provided a lot of inspiration for writing. Also, oldenuf2nb's suggestion asking 'who could resist Harry as dad to a little girl' ? Well I sure couldn't!
I'm told that my stories are pretty easily discernable by my headers (I plan to amend that, btw) but I would be remiss if I didn't mention the Slashchat girls, who held my hand, supported me, and smacked me when I needed it. :)
Last, but never least, thank you to

sevfan my fabulous beta without whom you all would think I can't spell or punctuate to save my ass. ♥

Once again, kudos to the

hd_holidays mods and I look forward to throwing my hat in the ring again this Christmas. Maybe. If life cooperates. ;)
