Looking over this list makes me think how fortunate we are (we being the annonymous working public who log on every night looking for some good writing) that there are people like yourself out there willing to offer us such gifts for free. I don't know how you do it but am in awe that you're willing to keep on doing it, and thank you heartily for the pleasure you brought me this year. As for the hotness factor, I vote for Orders, the Sea and Over the Moon as the hottest. I was so bummed when they did the whole LJ lockout thing; I had just read Over the Moon and wanted to re-read it and *it was locked* ! I almost cried, then wrote you (as I'm sure many did) and you graciously un-locked. The story sticks in my mind for that reason...that it was so good and I was so worried I couldn't read it again.
