fabrisseAnd a happy new year to everyone.
So.
My assignment was Albert Campion -- Margery Allingham. This was intriguing because I'd vacillated about whether to make that one of my ten fandom offers. Obviously, I decided yes. *G*

Then I picked up three pinch hits.
The first was forangevin2. I ended up re-reading All's Well that Ends Well and taking off on a phrase in the "Dear Yuletide Writer" letter "just how screwed up is their kid going to be." The story is called How Well Does It End.
I love Fringe, so volunteering for that one was a no brainer.ladygray99 said "something romantic between Walter and Astrid" would be nice, so I attempted it by writing Prelude.
The last one was for Blade Runner. I checked Netflix to make sure it was available to stream because, I hadn't seen the movie in over a decade and I'd only seen it once.notexotic aka Ade at AO3 wanted Zhora and watching the film with the prompt in mind gave me Retirement which I began while the end credits were running and finished in an hour. It's rare that I have the "stream of consciousness" experience when writing, but this one just flowed. My beta, gileswench -- bless her, found one minor error, and, once I'd fixed it, up it went.
