Yuletide reveals
Yuletide authors have been revealed, so I now know to thank ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
chokolattejedi, petrichoral, and rabidsamfan for my gifts. Thank you all so much!
It also means I can talk about what I wrote.
I wrote two stories - one full-length, and one short "treat" - for shewhoguards. They're both set on Sesame Street, with references to other fandoms the way real Sesame Street includes high culture and pop culture references.
The full-length story is about Cookie Monster doing his Cookie Monster thing, with references to some of the other fandoms that were on shewhoguards' wishlist. (I'm afraid the Diana Wynne Jones references are considerably more extensive than any of the others, reflecting my own familiarity with the originals, but there it is.)
The treat started out as a set of throwaway jokes that I couldn't quite get to fit in the main story but didn't want to throw away entirely.
C is for Conjuration (1740 words)
"Hey there, Cookie Monster," says Luis. "You do know that there's no cookie on that plate, don't you? That plate is empty."
Cookie Monster stops his little song and looks up at Luis. "Me know that," he says. "Me using magic to make cookie."
Sesame Treats (260 words)
Our television correspondent rounds up some of the most popular shows on Sesame Street TV.
(Or, Yuletide 2013's three most-requested fandoms gain some Street cred.)
And here, because they're too good not to share, are some of the Sesame Street videos I watched as research for writing these. (Apparently I'm doing this wrong - isn't research supposed to be difficult and unpleasant?)
* Monsterpiece Theater
* The Amazing Mumford
* Joey
* de-layed gra-ti-fi-cation
* Cookie Monster's Mommy
* Cookie Monster and the Mystery Box
