Twelve Days of Christmas and 212 reviews to go...

[gilpin25]

I'm really impressed with this. Especially with those two forming the band, though I had no idea ladybracknell was a pipe smoker... ;) Oh, and I pinched it from bratty_jedi, because it looked like fun.

On the twelfth day of Christmas, gilpin25 sent to me...

Twelve bratanimus drumming

Eleven ladybracknells piping

Ten films a-walking

Nine castles acting

Eight wales a-reading

Seven books a-writing

Six musicals a-moonlighting

Five de-e-e-etective stories

Four sherlock holmes

Three historic houses

Two lindsey davis

...and a sport in a roman history.

Get your own Twelve Days:

It was obviously asking for trouble mentioning the Round Robin letters as, apart from one, they've all been entertaining but swank-free. A lot of interest, though, was generated when one couple proudly told us how well their "body-boarding" was going this year. We spent two days thinking this was possibly slightly too much info about their sex life, before I remembered that the previous year they'd been obsessed by surfing... We're going for that version of events.

I've almost finished my Advent Fic, and those are words I doubted I'd ever type at times. So I've started reading everyone else's now and writing very belated reviews, for which I'm sorry. But Christmas is clamouring for my attention this weekend - so many presents and so much wrapping to do. Still these are a few of my favourite things... ;)

I'm days behind on reviewing, and it's long past my bedtime, but I just finished reading your fic. It's really wonderful and I'll tell you why (hopefully tomorrow) when I've had enough sleep to be a bit more coherent. ;)

And this icon made me think of you and Sirius's stocking, so I had to share.

Thank you. :) I've been chewing my nails over this one for many reasons, not least because I know you love Ron and I wasn't sure I did him justice. Though I thought he'd be the hardest to write and, in many ways, he was the easiest.

I love that icon! Made me giggle like mad over breakfast.

OK, it's not going to be today, because I haven't had time to read it again properly.
*sigh* Christmas fics were such a good idea, but it's frustrating to not have the time to actually enjoy and review them.
Maybe I ought to plan for a late night tonight to catch up a bit and see if I can't come up with a name for a palomino centaur... ;)

Don't worry, I know what it's like. And at least you haven't kept Gil waiting about five days for a review like some rotten person did.

Besides I can't look at anything apart from your icon, which has to be your best yet.

Best of luck with names for palomino centaurs. Perhaps "Flash" is Gil's pet (emphasis on pet;)) name for him... ;)

I just skimmed down my f-list and realized I am another 40 posts behind and still haven't reviewed yours, mrstater's part 2 or either of ladybracknell's. At least I've read them, I haven't even got to godricgal's. And I'm supposed to spend the day baking cookies, so I'll probably never catch up on a lot of posts. And my brother and his girlfriend are arriving today from Chicago. And did I mention a sick child... Why does life conspire against me, I ask you? I have icons to make and centaurs to write, for pity's sake!

*throws hands in the air in exasperation and wanders off mumbling, "Flash... Flash of inspiration... Flash Gordon... Flash in the pan... Flasher... Hmmmmm, might have something there...*
