My brain is stewing in Young Adult drama

Last night, as the result of a "fic you would never write" meme, lizbee wrote me the perfect highschool AU for Avatar: the Lat Airbender. It's femslash! Set in Australia! And doesn't ignore the character's canon disabilities! And is also very funny and in character and sweet. Core Skills. (EDIT: Now with a working link!)

Anyway, after thinking about it and various other stories about adolescent characters, I went to sleep and had a dream which at the time I was convinced was based on some YA book I'd read years ago but on waking I think I invented. I'd be curious to know if anyone recognises any part of it though.

A real live Kaleidoscope!

Kaleidoscope treats and works are now live. This was a really nice challenge to work in, the mods went to a lot of effort to make it fun and easy, with lots of encouragement and resources and a lovely sense of community. I ended up only doing treats, but I got a gift anyway, hooray!

Here's a list of all the works organised by fandom. Absolutely no points for guessing which ones are mine.

My favourite work so far is Heterosis, a very intelligent follow-on to and queering of the Xenogensis trilogy.
