Yuletide...

[telophase]

The story I wrote is Tori Kumo Ni Iru (Birds Enter Clouds)*, for snarkydame. Fandom: Natsume Yuujincho.** There are a few things you need to know about the canon to understand what's going on or why the cat talks and is referred to by two different names, and you can gather those by reading the character bios at Wikipedia. No spoilers in them. My story is set for the most part in Magome, where rachelmanija and I visited in 2007. Photos of the place (and the mad-eyed stuffed pheasant) here and here

Now must hurry back to a project I'm working on. :D


ETA: And let me hurry back momentarily because I am an idiot and forgot to mention that the author of my awesome Yuletide story, Goats Who Stare at Men, is sparky77. Thank you so much!!

* The title is a Japanese poetic convention, details in the author notes in the story.

** Manga apparently soon to be released here as "Natsume's Book of Friends," and the subtitled anime can (legally, even!) be streamed at crunchyroll.com.

Ah -- I quite liked that one, and rec'd it in my LJ. (I'm still confused by the grammar of the title, which I read as "birds are in clouds" -- clearly I'm not grasping an idiom here.)

Thanks!

I don't know enough about Japanese to say much about it as idiom - I'm just assuming that the various sites I found it on were correct and not just all stealing from one, wrong, source. XD

This story is so fabulous and perfect for Natsume that I can't even take it ♥

Wheee, thankyou! :D

It was really neat to see how it changed between the first and final version, and much for the better.
