And the winners are …

Hurrah for hd-holidays reveals! I even have new authors to stalk from the small number I've managed to read. And am pleased to see that I recced a few friends! (And embarrassed to notice the fics I meant to rec but forgot about. Will try to get to a few of them over the next week or two along with my full recs for Fearless and Coffee, Cakes … damn rec-eating LJ.)

I wrote A Young Radical's Guide To Love, which whispered gently in my ear that it would be a well-behaved 30K fic, before bursting out into a 66,000 word one that secretly wanted to be about 100,000 words, but that would have involved going without sleep through September and October as well as November and a bit of December. I kept having to remember that [livejournal.com profile] cassie_black12 wanted lightness to the tone whenever I was tempted to make an overt Guantanamo Bay analogy, and [livejournal.com profile] raitala, who was indefatigable in her shouting at me to write 'More! Faster!', was also very good at the 'This requires more kissing. I am certain your recipient requested kissing!' To the point where my inestimable beta [livejournal.com profile] jadzialove said 'There is a lot of kissing in this for you. Have you been drinking?'

Which means that the three fastest winners of Monday's guessing game are [livejournal.com profile] phoenixnoor, [livejournal.com profile] astardanced77 and [livejournal.com profile] snegurochka_lee, with [livejournal.com profile] goddessriss being the most amusing. Not all my stories contain dreadful puns, Riss! A couple have even contained sex! (I think one of those may have had dreadful puns, though …) astardanced77 has already asked for an extra for Little Red Courgette, if the rest of you could leave requests here, I will set about meeting them!

[livejournal.com profile] nenne also guessed rightly, and [livejournal.com profile] oakstone730 wrongly but flatteringly. If you two have an extra you would really like, I will try to get to it, too!

*sniffle* I missed the deadline for guessing (damn time zones/limited internet time), when yours was the only fic I was 98% sure about authorship. *wails*

Anyway, to repeat my original comment, absolutely brilliant fic!

Oh no! Look, give me a request anyway and I will give it a shot. May not be fast, but I will get there eventually, and because it's an extra, faster than a whole new story!

Aww, how sweet! *smooches*

But as I commented to [livejournal.com profile] goddessriss, For the Public Good would've been my choice as well. :)

Come to think of it, though, seeing as "Marginal Notes" is among my Top Ten most!favoritest® fics evar ... *puppy eyes* pretty please?

I am tempted to just do endless Greengrass bingo sheets ;-) But I will come up with something more sensible soon!

Yay! (Loved the extra scenes so far!)
