Oh sure, there you go with the sense-making and the providing of reasons.
And I myself will be wearing pink taffeta as chenille would not go with my complexion.

If you're able, I'll enable. That's the way the world works, babe.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Yes yes yes!!!

...meanwhile I think I now know myself well enough not to sign up. I'll wait for the New Year's Resolutions, and pick through those - 'cause if I make a commitment to write for a challenge, I'm likely not going to remember/knuckle down.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
I've never signed up before, but I've always loved the energy of it. If I did, anyone willing to beta for me?

Every year I go through the "should I sign up for Yuletide?" dance, and every year I remember how much I loathe writing (a) to prompts and (b) to deadline.
Someone remind me that I was very cranky while writing my remix and SPN-XX stories last summer, right?

Um, er, I committed fic.
Addams Family, because that's what I felt most comfortable attempting. I owe Plei a drink for pushing me into this.
(And yes, that's my separate-from-regular-life LJ account. Which I've used exactly once before.)

Wait... did Yuletide signups open? It looks like they are, but there wasn't an announcement on the comm.
Edit: Nevermind. I didn't pick up that there was a separate admin comm that I needed to friend.

Sure. Even if I'm not familiar with the fandom, I'd be happy to help out.
Lord help me, I signed up.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
My problem with signing up for yuletide is looking at the requested fandoms and forgetting what I decided about them in the past. Last year, I apparently offered Life on Mars. What made me think I'd be able to write Life on Mars?!? But I know this year, I'm going to end up with fandoms that will confuse me when next year's selection comes around.

I had a much harder time thinking of what to request and how to request it than what to write. I'm happy with what I requested, and I hope it doesn't inflict too much pain on whoever gets my requests.
I didn't participate in Yuletide last year (in fact, I boycotted all holiday fic exchanges in 2006) and I'm very much looking forward to it this year.
