Jilli, if you need someone to bounce ideas off of who is not trying to do their own Yuletide, let me know.

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?
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.

I second this. I meant to do Yuletide this year but missed the sign-up date, so I'd love to help.

How would you feel if somebody wrote fanfic about your story? 1. Like Norma Rae."They like me...they really like me." 2. Possibly weirded out. "Um, ok, when I made those guys *partners*, I wasn't really thinking that...wacky slashers!" 3. Possibly aroused.

Exactly! If someone wrote fic for something I wrote, I'd throw cartwheels. OMG I've made the big time!

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
But would that still be true if the fan fic were by, say, the infamous Nikita Writer?

No, but I hope I'd still have my sense of humor.
