Yes, it was you, Nopseud and Musicboxgirl! I was so afraid I'd run out of time with no beta, and then was thrilled when all three replied. I was even more thrilled when everyone had it back to me within 24 hours (...and then I stayed up all night going through them all and editing). Good memories.
Ack, you're quite right! I always think of MTYG as a continuation of DWNOGA. I almost did two anyway...So I can easily give my favorite MTYG story. And not just saying this because it's yours. While I enjoyed each and every one of my gift stories, these two stories (Heart of the Jungle being the other) are definite true standouts for me that made me feel like I got the best SeSa story of the year for the years I received them.
So, for a true MTYG favorite, I would definitely have to go with The Pussycat and the Porcupine by Pensnest, from MTYG 2010 - which was the final year I participated. http://www.maketheyuletidegay.org/appthena.do?o.action=view_story&o.key=193 A story that I love to pieces. First, because Kitten! Such an adorable little kitten. But also that Chris is just so Chris, so funny. And JC is so caring to rescue the poor kitty from a dumpster and care for it. I loved how Chris tried lying to Howie and was busted because he was JC's roommate and of course JC told him everything. And it was quite lovely when Chris introduced JC to Lance. Definitely a feel-good story that I totally adore. *G*
