By that point, I'm usually in the Land of Crappy Internet, so I'm never timely in replying to the emails. Still subscribe to the pinch hit list, though.
I hate to break it to you, oh impotent one, but you're not the big bad anymore, you're not even the kind of naughty.

This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.

Because books.
Could someone throw up a link to the sign-ups? I'm not sure I have it followed on LJ.

I'm pretty sure I know what I want to request, but now comes the part where I dither madly about what to offer.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ahhh.
I randomly asked IO9ers to write Mary Sue fanfiction, and I think it's a good way to ferret out people who've clearly read too much fic. To wit:
Dr. Grant glanced at Dr. Sattler, who exchanged glances with him. Sounds like this guy is incredibly smart and probably also physically attractive, Grant thought. I hope I make a good first impression.

I should not have looked at the nominations for Yuletide in movies. Because I just watched Cabin in the Woods, and hey, it's there! With a bunch of other movies I'd maybe feel semi-confident about writing fic about!
Having done Yuletide a grand total of once before, I may ask for hand-holding if I sign up. Is it okay to request fic in a few of the same fandoms you offer?
(I cannot BELIEVE I am thinking about doing Yuletide. I have way too much other stuff I'm supposed to be doing.)

OH G-DDAMIT. Not only is Beetlejuice listed in movies, but both The Night Circus and the Parasol Protectorate series are nominated in books. I think I'm doomed.

It's perfectly legit to ask/offer. I've got one overlapping fandom on my sign up. I'm delighted to see that you might be participating! Did you see that Gashlycrumb Tinies is an eligible fandom?
Also, you can see current ask-to-offer ratios here. It's a little misleading in that it won't show offers if there are no asks.
