Yuletide: the Home Stretch

osprey_archerJust in case of too busy opening presents/pigging out/squeeing over Yuletide stories to post tomorrow: Merry Christmas, everyone!
I'm super excited about Yuletide. I'm excited about the archive opening tomorrow and the reveal on New Years and, well, everything really, although I've forbade myself from writing any more treats as there's no way they would get done in time.
This doesn't mean I can tear myself away from the treat list, though. It's a smorgasbord of distilled story ideas.
Also, I have a worrisome tendency to write stories that hinge on Pivotal Kissing Scenes, or more specifically stories that end right after the Pivotal Kiss. It's an understandable stopping point but a very lazy one, especially given it seems to have become my default ending.
The great thing about Pushing Daisies stories: no matter how much you want to plug in a Pivotal Kissing Scene, it won't fit. (Well, all right, I read one Pushing Daisies story that got around the whole "Ned and Chuck can't touch" thing, but that story was made of so much win that it doesn't really count on account of being beyond the reach of most mortal authors.) So know that I'm not writing for Yuletide anymore, I can dig out the dinosaur museum story again and torment Ned some more.
