Yuletide Friending Meme!

Hello all! No one had posted a Yuletide Friending Meme yet, so I decided to step up to the plate. This may be on DW, but it is for LJ as well, and all you LJ-ers can comment with Open ID. If you want to meet people who share your small fandoms, want to pimp your fics, or just want to start the new year with some more friends, comment below with the following!

Name: Gehayi works. I don't like my real name. At all.
Fandoms: I tend to focus more on book fandoms because they're accessible in a way that TV shows and movies are not. They're also cheaper. Right now I'm into Discworld, Dresden Files bookverse, Dresden Files TV-verse and Shakespeare. I have been into Harry Potter and Highlander, but I'm not anymore. And there are a lot of things I like that don't really seem to HAVE a fandom--fairy tales, for example--or where there's a fandom but I'm not really part of it, I just read the occasional story, as in Chronicles of Narnia or The Dark is Rising. Oh, and I've just started geting into the Cal Leandros books.
How many years you've been doing Yuletide: This is my second non-consecutive year doing Yuletide.
Your fic: I wrote eight fics for Yuletide this year. They are: A Clovis Christmas (Short Stories - Saki); The Alot, the Tuit, Mrs. Gradgrind, Sophie and Me, Allie (Hyperbole and a Half); The Lai of Bisclavret's Wife (Bisclavret - Marie de France); Shadows of Desert Birds (Richard II - Shakespeare); Rosemary for Remembrance (Hamlet - Shakespeare); With a Cunning Hand (Twelfth Night - Shakespeare); A Dance in Iron Shoes (Fairy Tales and Related Fandoms); Sweeping Ashes into the Sea (Frankenstein - Mary Shelley).
DW or LJ?: I have an LJ and I have a Dreamwidth account. The name is the same in both places. I barely use Twitter, and I've never heard of Plurk.
Journaling habits: A little bit of everything. The posts are about 97% public, with a small percentage of posts that are just for me and no one else. I'm more inclined to be active over on LJ, because people I know tend to respond over on LJ. Here on DW, not so much.

Anything else?: Yuletide was fantastic. I enjoyed being able to give things to people for Christmas, as I wouldn't have been able to give anything without the ficathon, and I certainly wouldn't have received much, either. So thank you. Yuletide WAS my Christmas.

I loved A Dance in Iron Shoes! Also your interests are awesome. Friends?

[gehayi]

Thank you, and absolutely! (And I read your Yuletide Letter. I wish I'd had time to write a story for you!)

I loved the Hyperbole and a Half fic, and I also love Bisclavret (he'll never be my favourite Arthurian knight because there are too many of those, but he's definitely my favourite werewolf) Am friending you, if that's OK?

[gehayi]

Very definitely okay! Okay if I friend you back?

[ankaret]

Absolutely!
