I daresay that anyone who is on this list is already aware of Yuletide, but just in case I come to bring this year's new fics to your attention:

HERE you will find 37 Hornblower fics, at least 3 of which are new - and there may be more when the Yuletide Madness collection opens in the next 24 hours sometime.

The ITV Press Centre has posted a press packet for Series 2 of 'Law & Order: UK'. Actually, the release is for the back half of what would have been Series 1. Nice try ITV! ;) There is a link on the page to download the production notes which includes interviews with all the cast plus synopsis of the upcoming episodes.

( Jamie Bamber questions and answers under the cut. )

A few more short fics looking for readers and comments. Just in case there's anyone here :) With apologies for cross posting.

Title: High Blue Day
Author: Anteros
Characters: Archie Kennedy / Horatio Hornblower, William Bush
Rating: PG
Spoilers: Retribution
Notes: A "what if" fic this time. Part of this is heavily influenced by another piece I read recently but I can't remember where I read it or who it was by. So if something seems familiar and it's yours please do let me know so I can credit where credit is due.

Title: Impression
Author: Anteros
Characters: Horatio Hornblower / (Archie Kennedy)
Rating: PG
Spoilers: Retribution
Notes: Inspired equally by thehappyreturn's "You construct intricate rituals which allow you to touch the skin of other men" and Muireadhach Albanach's "M’anam do Sgar Riomsa A-raoir". Both beautiful in their own way.

Title: Spark
Author: Anteros
Characters: Archie Kennedy / Horatio Hornblower
Rating: PG
Notes: A short fic for the solstice. A light for the longest day.

Via ITV's press center, Law & Order: UK will launch Series 2, Monday, January 11, 2010 at 9:00PM. The first episode will be 'Samaritan', the eighth episode from ITV's original thirteen episode order.
