MTYG musing and December Meme
About this year's MTYG: I always look forward to the "guess the author" posts, but I don't really feel it would be fair for me to try to participate, these days, as I'm one of the Elves and have the chance—actually, the duty—to check through the stories beforehand to ensure they meet the challenge requirements. So I get to see who wrote what… and although by now I can't remember most of those details, I probably have a lot more of a clue than I ought.
So do, please, have a go at guessing. It ought to be much easier than usual this year, as you have fewer than two dozen authors to choose from. The MTYG Discuss guessing post is here on Dreamwidth or here on LJ.
On to my meme for the day:![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
letterboys asked for my 'Patronus Memory'.
But the thing is, I don't think I have one.
I have quite a few very happy memories—when Beast proposed, for instance, which was quite the surprise; and when Bun was born, looking into her disapproving dark eyes for the first time; and when Boy was born and I looked at him and burst out laughing, for he was frowning and looked just like his grandpa. My wedding day might be an excellent memory if I could actually remember it, but most of it was a blur of smiling so hard my cheeks ached, and being photographed a lot. I can tell you roughly what happened, but the memory isn't particularly vivid. I probably have more detailed recall of my sister's wedding.
I can remember getting my A-Level results, which got me into Cambridge. I can remember graduating (though that was mostly relief!). I can remember my children graduating. Hmm.
I have good memories made with fellow fans. Awesomely fun conversation at first con. The Lava Lamp Reading. The first Camp Sparkle, and subsequents. Backstreet concerts.
I spose this means I've basically had a very happy life, which I have. No Patronus memory, though.
