So, our annual Christmas exchange is in full swing, and we’ve already had 4 wonderful submissions (and you know how much I like women submitting 😀 ), all of which are on the Links page.
First off is Bijou’s “Ruda Wakening,” a wonderful fantasy filled with historical interest and strong women. What’s not to like? 🙂
Micah has favored us with TWO great stories. She told me she was concerned the first jewel, “Home for Christmas,” wasn’t enough like what we usually expect from her. I think it’s a beautiful and touching story. However for lots of brat hi-jinks and spanky goodness, also check out her story, “Marty and Vickie – The Easter Incident.”
Edited to add: Okay, Hupo’s story is up! She was nervous about sharing her very first fiction with us, but I think she did a magnificent job. Go read “Sharing Holiday Tradtions” and let her know how grateful we are she moved outside her comfort zone!
(I apologize for the slow rate of posting and being MIA recently. I’ve been studying for exam, and am currently away from home as well. This time of year kicks my butt, and not in a good way. *g*)

Alyx- Of course there’s no need to apologize! Your “problem” is that we’re being very unbratlike and sending you our stories in early. How could you ever have possibly suspected that would happen. 😉
Alyx, I like the graphics a lot with a single holiday candle flicking (me thinks it kinda goes with the “Keep the candle lit” theme of my story from last year! heehee 😉 Oh and the background dark is a nice contrast to last year’s white, also making the white and gold/yellow words stand out. You’ve got great visual art talents! 🙂
Muchas gracias for doing this for all of us. Please know that your hard work is much appreciated. *hugs*
