Ahahahaha. I did not watch this (and I have, like, no idea who won the Swedish contest and what our contribution sounded like), but I guess I'll check it out. : )

Isn't it nice being ambushed by fic sometimes? I just wrote a completely unexpected fic for a rarelit fandom with about ten works on AO3...

I am a helpless Eurovision fan by now. I used to have at least a little bit of distance, you know, and a hipper, more sarcastic approach - but by now, I'm just... It's so sparkly! And cheesy! And, and, and. Absolutely wonderful! :D

It was so much fun to be bitten by the writing bug like this again <3 After the endless marathon that is my SH fic, it was nice to just sit down and write for six hours and then when I lifted my hands from the keyboard, voilá, fic!

Which rarelit fandom did you write for?

Also, I ended up googling both the Stenshuvud and Söderåsen national parks to figure out which one would be best for werewolves, and now I think I might try to convince my brother to go to Söderåsen for a day or two during the summer. I've ended up not having much of a summer holdiday, because I got a job, and it looks like a good weekend trip.

Edited to add: Oh, and I watched your pictures from Northern Norway with much envy and admiration. Allemansrätten is the coolest thing in the world.

This is a reference to the Disney Cinderella movie, yes? I mean, it's a well-known reference in Sweden, but I don't know if you guys have that Disney medley on TV every Christmas eve like we do, that all kids watch?

Hey, how's it going with the SH fic? Could you make out my cryptic scribbles?

I wrote fic for Rosemary Sutcliff's Sword at Sunset--it's basically an Arthurian adaptation. Hopefully to be posted soon!

I've been to Stenshuvud, but it was long ago, and I've never been to Söderåsen at all. I bet it's awesome. Oh, and I'm glad you liked the Norway photos!

It is :D We have the Christmas show, too. And I was quoting the Danish version, so they must be very similar.

The SH fic is moving along slowly, but steadily. I managed to figure out most (but not all) of your notes :) I found a lovely and helpful person to do a final grammar end brit-pick beta, and then it should be ready for posting.

Rosemary Sutcliff <3 I've only read the Eagle, still, but I'm planning to read more of hers.
