FYI, ye fannish people. Yuletide signups are opening soon (not tonight), and in order to sign up, you will need Firefox, because the script that makes it possible for us to choose from hundreds of fandoms simply cannot handle IE any longer.

Fan Fiction II: Great story! Where's the sequel?
This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.
What about Safari, Chrome, and Opera?
They can guarantee it will work on Firefox. It will not work on IE. Other browsers, you're pretty much on your own. If you reach the second page of the signup and the list of fandoms doesn't populate, you're out of luck.
The yuletide_admin comm has the latest details, as well as a bunch of suggestions from people in the comments.
Yuletide signups are open and will run through the 12th.
And now it's the last day to sign up for yuletide! There's something like 6 hours to go. They have a countdown on the yuletide page.
I did it last week...first time ever.
Speaking of Yuletide, I have some crackfic preferences that I noticed are on the Yuletide list. I've never participated, but eventually, I'll be able to read what people wrote for others, correct? It's not just the recipient that gets to read the story?
(Oh, and hi, thread. I pretty much just lurk in this thread.)
The archive goes live on Christmas Day for everyone to read.
Also, new this year is Festivids, which is the same idea but for vidding. I... am way too defective at deadlines to ever sign up, but other than that I can. not. wait.
I am not writing for Yuletide this year, but would be happy to serve as beta for any Buffistas who are.
