It was a very good year

I'm not doing one of those end-of-the-year rec posts. I'm sure to leave someone out!

So I'll do a thank you post instead. (AND I'm re-writing the whole thing because LJ hates "LJ user" code. *THWAP*)

BETAZ: To everyone who allowed me to stick my fingers in your frosting and beta-read more than 60 stories in 2009, THANK YOU. I'm looking at you, nancybrown, andreth47, amand_r, cruentum, copperbadge, neifile7, cookiesofkarma, stuffphile, verasteine, iamshadow, golden_d and the Yuletide writers I can't mention yet.  I don't rec your stuff afterward because it's a rule, I do it because it's great.    

Cheers to andreth47 for coming up with the whole naughty Porn Battle concept, and crue for jumping in to co-host, and everyone else for taking part.

Thank you to amand_r for bringing sexy back with touchyerwood .

My thanks to snaxcident and the rest of the Askverse crew for making me laugh so much, and xtricks and the Torchwood Three RP company for making me think.  

AND I want to publicly snuggle my Torchwood Secret Santa for being INCREDIBLY AWESOME. <3 <3 <3

The story written for me, Wonderful Life, has everything I love in fic: great dialogue, a little drunkiness, and HOT THREESOME ACTION.

lionessvalenti, you're brilliant for coming up with the twsecretsanta  exchange. There isn't a bad story in the bunch. 

Like John Cleese, I'm ringing in 2010 with "a song in my heart, a skip in my walk and a hair of the dog", and I'm adding a faintly horrifying song cover by William Shatner.  *TOASTS YOU*

It was good, yeah?

BB, "thank you" doesn't begin to cover it. You're the sine qua non, the fandom glue, one of the biggest reasons I stick it out, because you make everything more awesomesauce and mo' better.

I'd like to pull a Peter Wimsey and propose to you at regular intervals. April Fools' Day included.

BUT we are already LJ-married!

I'd like to add thanks to the people who beta-read for me, and you're at the top of the heap, BB. (But this post keeps breaking and half-deleting when I try to add more!)

THANK YOU!!! <3

We could always commit poly with ourselves. In fact, I look forward to it.

Aargh, sorry that LJ is breaking under the weight of all the good karma! Evol Rooshan overlords.

SEXI!

I blame the New Year Posts for breaking things. :D
