revelations!

[kindkit]

Yuletide authors have been revealed, so I can now say that I wrote two stories this year, both for the Psmith books by P.G. Wodehouse. Psmith and the Greek Spirit was my assigned fic for Masterofmidgets, and features Psmith courting an oblivious Mike during their school days. Psmith and Jackson, RFC was a treat for halotolerant; it brings the boys into the First World War.

And I can thank my authors by name! halotolerant wrote me two fantastic stories, At Shingle Street and The Merry Wives of Saxe-Coburg Gotha, and Sheldrake wrote the beautiful Defences. Many thanks to both of you!

Hello! I came by to let you know that I had never read Psmith before, but am now completely in love with your two stories and intend to read canon at the earliest available opportunity. There's something really lyrical and moving about both of them. I hadn't guessed that the same person wrote both of them, and I would have had difficulty saying which I liked the better.

Thank you so much! The stories were for two very different prompts: my assigned recipient is someone I don't know at all, and they wanted a light, fun story, so that's what I tried for, whereas I knew halotolerant would be okay with something a little more melancholy.

I hope you enjoy the books! They're great fun.

Which Psmith book would you recommend starting with? I've loved Jeeves and Wooster for about twenty years but have never tried Psmith. I find almost all Wodehouse is worth a look but some books are definitely much better than others, so recommendations would be welcome.

There are only four Psmith books, and I've only read the first two, Mike and Psmith, which is about their school days, and Psmith in the City, set the year after they leave school. I skipped the later books because that's when heterosexual romances are introduced for both characters--I've also heard the books just aren't as good. But the first two are great fun.
