I wrote three stories, one a bit of back story for Persuasion (https://archiveofourown.org/works/35614237), and a couple of cracky treats for some of the short works of Matthew Bourne, especially the "Pissoir Duet" (https://archiveofourown.org/works/35758810), and Bath Tangle (https://archiveofourown.org/works/35934523). Writing the Persuasion story was the hardest this year - there wasn't much to go on in the recipient's letter, so I wrote for a story idea I'd had in the past - but actually having specific requests to write to is a good source of creativity for me, so I struggled a bit. I (cough) didn't really leave out any historically accurate factoids of that one, apart from people heroically rowing between Caribbean islands in the middle of night to pass on ship sightings. I mean, if Miss Austen's going to give a perfectly precise detail like which battle someone is the hero of, it makes sense to look it up, right? ;-)

For the Matthew Bourne story - it still hasn't been wrangled. Is there a preferred polite way to help the tag wranglers out? They're all short dance theatre works by the same choreographer.

Also, I got some super lovely stories from people - a canon divergent scene from Georgette Heyer's Masqueraders (they fight!), and a feelings scene about Culloden from the same book, and someone watched my absolute favourite version of Twelfth Night and wrote a _perfect_ epilogue.

Many thanks to all the mods and supporting fans to make this happen like clockwork, every year! Happy New Year!
