I wanted more celestial and infernal politics, and less pontificating about the power of stories.

This was an interesting thought to me, because I related to it and yet relating to it surprised me, as someone who (I will make this relevant!) often puts 'the power of stories' into a list of likes for fanfic gift exchanges. Thinking further, I think I like that message to be buried very deep down and for me to catch glimpses of it; if it's in a story as an Important Message, I want that message to tell me something new about the power of stories. But a piece of fiction telling me "Stories are powerful" and not going further with that concept is very offputting. It's not an insight. I want an insight.

I have no idea what I want for this year's Yuletide, and am making my own sign-up conditional on making progress on an auction fic.
