fear & wandering in no.6: a look at nezumi's motivations, thought-patterns & wanderlust

No.6 meta exists! I mean, everything canis_m has written about it is mini meta and accurate and brilliant, but I like big blocks of meta text, and she contributed (translation and inspiration via commentary, I think) to this one.

Now for blocks of text that are fanfiction: I never appreciate Yuletide fully because I'm wired funny (or conventionally, maybe that's the problem) . I love many things at once, but I'm usually interested in reading fanfiction for only one of them at any given time period, exception being when I'm in the transitioning stage of enthusiasm. Not to mention the stories get posted in the final days of my yearly book reading (FIGHT ILLITERACY) marathon, when I'm frantic.

But. Every year I pick one Yuletide story to read. This year I picked three and they were all great:

- The Tough Guide to Yuletide (Diana Wynne Jones, I miss you)
- Nothing Gold (A Little Princess, Sara Crewe & Becky)
- Swine (Black Books, v. fun)
