We decided that our ability to co-write each other's Yuletide stories proves, for once and for all, that we are both sockpuppets, and the only question we have left is: who is the puppetmaster? (We figure once we know that, we can file some formal complaints, maybe bring in the Sockpuppet Union, finally get some justice around here.)

But, yeah, I totally recommend co-writing and file-swapping for the best Yuletide experience. (And now that sounds like a manifesto: Down with story monogamy! Open composition is the way to go! Have a menage a text!) It was the best fun - I got to hand off the parts I couldn't do to someone else and I got to play in MMWD's awesome sandbox. I could not have asked for better.

*Yuletide bliss*

(Oh, and thank you for the card and the dog photos. They are adorable, and it was a surprising amount of fun to open up an envelope of photos from someone else's life. That was a fantastic holiday card idea, and you are quite brilliant.)
