And the Yuletide 2011 collection has been opened, and two different anonymouses have left me stories:
Song of the Southwest, a Journey to the West x Uncle Remus Stories (aka Song of the South) crossover in which Monkey, on the banks of a wide green river where the cypress grew thick, meets an all-black person sitting in a rocking chair.
Songs of Ono no Komachi, a Kokinshu fic by way of Heian Period RPF in which an aging Komachi describes how she met the very young Ki no Tsurayuki and taught him about life, love, and the craft of poetry. This one was written by someone who a) read my posts about her and b) knows enough Japanese to correct my translations, and c) knows their stuff about the period.
Excellent haul, if I say so myself. I am mighty pleased, anyway.
As for what I wrote, it is probably exceedingly obvious they are mine, but I would think that. Any guesses? And recs for my further reading? (for I have only just started to dig through the enormous collection).
