Sooo Yuletide

Fandom: The Bigend Trilogy, by William Gibson
Characters: The Curfew (proportionately to canon)
Spoilers: character stuff through the end of Zero History, but peripheral to the plot of the books
Rating: PG13 for Heidi's language
Wordcount: 3183 words
So yes, I wrote a story about the fake reunion of a fake indie band while faking William Gibson's style. XD; This got a great comment-to-hit ratio for AO3, though the fandom's a minority interest even for Yuletide.

This was interesting as a writing exercise for two reasons: the characters turned out to be indivisible from Gibson's prose style, and I had to dial back my own process to get it right. Gibson is a lazier writer than I am!
