OH MY GOD, WHAT WAS I THINKING WHEN I SIGNED UP FOR YULETIDE?
I have only the vaguest idea for a story. I am made of fail. Please reassure me this is the normal progression of events for someone participating in Yuletide.

Thrive to spite them
I've never participated in Yuletide, but I keep seeing variations of this on my flist so I'll say that this is normal.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Jilli, this is totally normal. Only about 120 of the 1200 expected stories have been uploaded to date because only one in ten people ever finishes the story before the day of the deadline. Resulting in hilarious upload-engine crashes and considerable crazy day-of.
Anyway, you're in very good company.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Jilli, look at the numbers in the poll that I put up. And then remind yourself that I probably have a high percentage of over-achievers on my flist.

nnnnyyyaaaagh.
Okay, tonight I re-read the source material, and see if the vague and tiny plot bunny is even workable, and then try and nurture it so it grows into a proper bunny minion. If that doesn't work, then ... cry?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Jilli, if you need someone to bounce ideas off of who is not trying to do their own Yuletide, let me know.

Drink! And make me read the sourse so that I can suggest things to you. And then listen to me whine about how many words I have so far. Which is, by the way...
(counts by hand, because there's no word count feature in spiral-bound mini notebooks) 141. All written this morning.

I have a first draft. That I finished last night at 11pm. I have no idea how I managed to do that.

Drink!
Oooh, I like that plan!
And make me read the source so that I can suggest things to you.
That's actually been part of my back-up plan for a while now.
And then listen to me whine about how many words I have so far.
You have words! I am envious! But sure, you can totally whine at me.
