Master Fic List for 2008

[opalmatrix]

Baaaah, I am a sheep. All the cool kids were doing it, hence I flock. There was, of course, the question of Yuletide fics, which are written in year x but get revealed on Jan. 1st of year x + 1. I decided that I would include my Yuletide 2008 stories, which were written in December.

I did lots of sayuki_time writing prompts, and I think that they helped a lot, especially because I tend to be wordy, and the shorter timed prompts curbed that. I also learned a lot from my beta readers on my longer pieces, especially sanada, smillaraaq, kispexi2 , redbrunja , and my sister A.
