Turning to photography as a creative outlet during a valiant fight with breast cancer at age 34, renaissance10 survived and set up a photo contest to help raise funds for the Lavender Trust, a nonprofit that provides information and support to younger women with breast cancer. In the first two years, the competition brought in over £65,000 (that's $107,260.73 U.S.!), with entries from 130 countries last year. Renaissance10 recently joined LiveJournal to meet other passionate photographers and find supportive friends.

Title: Miss Elphaba
Rating: NC-17 for story as a whole
Summary: Why does Glinda always let Elphaba tell her what to do?
A/N: I posted this on wicked_fanfic but realized I haven't posted it here, and since it's Gelphie, it really does belong here, after all :D
A/N 2: This story contains a D/s theme. It's not extreme, but if you don't like that sort of thing, you might want to read something else instead.

DESCRIPTION: What was truth, and what was fiction?
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Presenting the big ol' chapter of doom and exposition. (You may want to make yourself some cocoa for this one. Whew!) I considered clawing my eyes out while in the process of writing this, but I had to finish it in time for Christmas.  It's not heavy on the action, unless you count all of the Gelphie bidness.  =P

Fanfiction link is here, for those of you who prefer their format: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5330421/6/

Extra squishy thanks to all of you who are reading and reviewing, as well as my cracktastic beta jelly_belly99.  Hope you kids have some happy holidays!  Please enjoy this latest serving of wet and neked Glinda.

( Still, the thought of leaving all of this behind scares her. Some awful part of her hopes that Elphaba won't ask her to go with her for a second time. )
