So, the last couple of days of the year went by faster than I anticipated, for good and bad RL reasons. I’d kind of forgotten about fandom until I got an email reminding me that Yuletide is over. I got not just one, but two wonderful stories, both for the same fandom: Raumpatrouille, one of my comfort fandoms:

Summary:

"What sounds like a fairytale today might be tomorrow’s reality. This is next year's fairy tale: Nations have ceased to exist, there is only humankind and its colonies in space.

The Earth’s Space Fleet protects trade routes, travelers and the Earth’s interests in space.
Being part of the Space Fleet requires dedication, technical acumen and—as everyone complains at one time or another—physical fitness. Especially when their bi-annual surprise survival and fitness tests comes up.

For those of you interested: Fanfic_CJ posted a link to a subtitled Youtube version, so if you like 60s scifi TV, you might want to check out this series. It’s not very long, and it’s a classic, at least in Germany.

As for myself, I wrote three stories, which I’m going to repost here in the next couple of days.

ETA: Thanks to everyone from holiday_wishes who sent me a card! I loved them all.
