I haven't been posting yuletide recs partly because lots of them are going by on my f-list already, and partly because I feel it obligates me to say something more coherent than "Squee!" about them, but one that I really loved hasn't been mentioned by anyone on the f-list* and I know that a lot of you would love it.

The fandom is Neil Gaiman's American Gods, but you need no knowledge whatsoever of canon: this could be taken as-is and be a standalone tale.

"The Journey West" Listen, and I will tell you how Monkey comes to America.




* Or I missed it. Which is entirely possible.

Oooh.

I loved that story. It's bookmarked to go on my recs post, which is almost coming to fruition now that I'm almost done reading through the fandoms I know. Almost, almost. Maybe tonight.

I've been delicious'ing things and saving them up for a post. Perhaps I will do one tonight.

But yeah, isn't that great?

Oh, thank you! This was a good one.

I'm going alphabetically by fandom and I've been doing pretty much nothing but reading fic for two days. And...I've gotten as far as F. F! Fairy Tales (trad)! I figure I may get to Neil Gaiman sometime around Valentine's day...

Ironically, I just read two separate--magicnoire and kate_nepveu--recs of this fic. And it's been added to my to-rec list, too. I've yet to read American Gods, but the fic is gorgeous.

I'm surprised at how ignorant I am of a lot of these fandoms, so I haven't read a lot yet (also, despite the fact that I am off from work, real life keeps intruding ... ).

I've been trying to get through the ones I know on my own, so I haven't been paying a lot of attention to other people's recs yet ... I had added the yuletide comm to my watch list, and now I wish I hadn't, because it's been hot and cold running recs for two days, mostly for fandoms I don't know, and it's drowning the rest of my flisters' entries. Maybe I'll take it off for a while ... .

This? Made my Christmas! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
