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... ;)

Maybe I'm pan-piping, since South American busking seems all the rage wherever I go Christmas shopping? I always think those ponchos set a wonderful, traditional festive note.

Looking forward to your Advent fic, although I can't help thinking that ebing this close to finsihing this soon, you're letting the side down a bit ;). I think my Advent fic is nearly half done - although I'm kind of thinking that the first bit works really well as a one-shot and that maybe I should post it on its own... ah, decisions, decisions....

I'm pretty sure that body-boarding is a type of surfing, but I would have loved to have been there to see the look on your face when you first read that and assumed it was sex related. :p

My Advent fic is...well, it's progressing, certainly. I'll tell you, though, if I end up posting at midnight of the cutoff day like I have the other two times, there will be swearing involved.

A sport in a Roman story...Does that mean that you get Russell Crowe rolling around on the floor?

Body boarding is a lot of fun. It's like surfing for people with no balance. ;) But sex is probably more interesting, and definitely a better source for gossip.

I've got the same feeling that the Advent fic will never earn the description of completed.

Heaven help me, but I just started going back through my f-list posts and not recognizing anything... and going back another 20... and another 20... I'm something like 60 posts behind! I have no hope of catching up, but since your post was the first familiar one I found - a veritable life buoy in a sea of unanswered posts - I thought I'd poke my head in and say 'hello.'
Good luck with the writing and wrapping! :)

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.
