Yuletide Reveal

I wrote three stories. My main assignment and two stocking stuffers

Like having a Wife (Wimbledon, Peter/Dieter)
The movie just makes it clear that British Peter and German Dieter have a fun friendship - if not bromance - that is full of light banter. Some of that banter is about their nationalities, so I could not resist to include that.
Also add the funny training method with the cans, and the fact that next to the FIFA the ATP is the second most wanky and homophobic sports organisation .. and well, you have a story


Life without you (The Sign (Song), by Ace of Base)
Between the song lyrics, the prompt of the recipient and some personal history there was stuff to tell a little tale of survivors of dysfunctional relationships


A new Generation (Master Plan (song), by Adam Lambert)
So what if every member of the LGBT crowd all over the world came out at the same moment?

*****

And I guess tomorrow I will have to find the time to do the reveal for Lure Santa

Books of 2010

This was my second worst year since I started my booklist back in 2005 with only 124 books.
I guess it had a lot to do with me not having easy access to a mobile reader, reading more fanfic and writing more myself.

I won't set a goal for 2011
