Holiday Horror is a small exchange for horror-genre fic.

What I wrote:
I wrote a fic for the Alien Quadrilogy (the four films with Sigourney Weaver in them). It was a fun challenge to figure out a logical reason why Ellen Ripley, Annalee Call, and Dwayne Hicks would end up together in one story, because they are in different movies in the quadrilogy.

What I received:
This is beautifully creepy art. I've had to tell myself a couple of times that it's not my fault the artist orphaned this work. Amygdalae are weird.
