Ha. The first year was the year I wrote Michael/Operations and uploaded it from my father-in-law's computer.
Wash: Little River just gets more colorful by the moment. What'll she do next? Zoe: Either blow us all up or rub soup in our hair. It's a toss-up. Wash: I hope she does the soup thing. It's always a hoot, and we don't all die from it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
I remember the first year of Yuletide fondly--especially hours and hours of ignoring my family during Christmas and reading all the stories. That was special.

That was the year I had the flu and got spanked for writing Sports Night. That's an experience I don't care to repeat.
Edited to add: although obviously it hasn't stopped me from signing up again year after year.

Oh my god, I'm beginning to suspect that Yuletide registration will break 700 before the deadline.

Heh.
I love Yuletide, but I suck at the whole deadline thing. So I tend to fall upon the New Years Resolutions leftovers instead. Mostly. Although you're tempting me...

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I've decided that I'm only doing one Christmas exchange this year. It'll either be yuletide, or it'll be the big exchange for my main anime fandom. Although, truth be told, not having a fic deadline hanging over my head for the holidays is also sounding mighty appealing at the moment.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I signed up for Yuletide, and discovered that one of my requests is the only one in that category. It took me a long mathy moment to realize that there are going to be a zillion more offers than requests.

I am a bitter, self-involved person.
(The Stargate fan awards were announced today. Yes, the throwaway unbeta'd crossover won. Yes, the monster epic series that took me over a year to write--lost. To a series with kid!fic and the use of the term "tight buns". I'm not bitter. Much.)
And I can't bitch about this on my LJ so I'm going to whinge here. You'd think I'd know better by now, I really do--and yet I almost always find myself disgruntled.

Orithain and Rina won for best slash series?
Were they the only nomination in that category? If not, then the only explanation is that some terrifying space monkeys got loose and stuffed the ballot box.

Well, you know, and Orrymain won again. And Sideburns. WTH is Sideburns, anyway?
Actually, best Slash Series in SG-1 appears to be...Debi C.?
