Five Things Make a Post

3. I was walking down the street a few days ago when I heard chimes from the clock tower. This was odd, because the town clock has been out of operation for some months (the old post office building, which the tower is part of, has been undergoing major renovations prior to taking up a new role). When I looked up at the clock, it was still showing the wrong time, so I figured there was just some testing going on.

A day or two after that, I was walking down the street when the clock struck one, and it was indeed one o'clock. It's been operational ever since. When the world is quiet and the wind is in the right quarter, I can hear the chimes from my house.

It's good to have it back.


4. I appear to be doing Yuletide this year.


5a. The other stupid thing about how I keep putting off Five Things posts because I don't have five things is that often I do have five things and they just slip my mind at the moment when I'm contemplating writing a post.

Dear Yuletide Writer

Dear Yuletide Writer,

Welcome! Apparently we have an obscure fandom in common! (I'm going to go out on a limb and guess it's not Moonbeam. But if it is, that's awesome.) And you've very kindly offered to write a story for me, which is lovely. I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

( General notes )

( Fandom 1: Wreck-It Ralph )

( Fandom 2: Father Brown )

( Fandom 3: Puck of Pook's Hill )

( Fandom 4: Moonbeam )

Finally: Thank you again for being a part of Yuletide. I hope this extremely long letter has been some use to you, but if you have an idea you'd love to write in one of these fandoms that isn't any of the ideas I've suggested, that's fine too. I'd rather receive a story you were enthusiastic about and loved working on than one you had to force yourself into an uncomfortable shape to write, even if it isn't precisely what I asked for. Who knows, it might turn out to be a story I never knew I needed.
