Yuletide is up and there is Diana Wynne Jones fic!
Dalemark, and Fire&Hemlock, and Chrestomanci hooray!
I've only looked at fandoms A-E tonight, self restraint and time restraints being what they are.
The Last Free Soul of Dalemark is mind-searingly good. It's one of those fics using clips of created!history interspaced with narritive prose. Sort of like to coda to The Spellcoats but so much more and better and about Hobin and Alk and Mitt and Navis. Like DWJ i think I'll need to go back and read and re-read to get everything from this. Glee!!
The End is Where We Start From? Also v. good. It features the funeral of Amil the Great and Moril and Mitt's conversation thereafter. Because of course this is how it would go. There are so many moment s of history ficcers could write about in Dalemark-verse! I didn't even know I wanted to read this fic until I read it and now I think it's been incorperated into personal cannon. Especially the bit about Navis.
Truly, He Hadn't is Fire and Hemlock fic. Selected bits of book-events from Tom's POV. Fraught and hopeful but determined to do right by Polly.

Brooooowse!
There's SO much good DWJ fic there XD
- a good guide, (I'm shamed to say) is to judge a fic's quality by # of comments its received but that only works properly on fics from previous years - there hasn't been enough time for yuletide 2008 fics to rack up an accurate representation yet.
