Yuletide!

[brigdh]

Yuletide sign-ups are open! In case you somehow missed all of fandom talking about it. Important note: if you have been disqualified from Yuletide before, you can still sign up! That's right, all bans have been erased. So come and play!

Sign-ups are open until Thursday the 12th at 9pm EST. I haven't signed up myself yet, as I'm still looking at my requests and offers and deciding what I want. I usually sign up to write for every fandom I've ever heard of, but this year I've decided to narrow down and only offer things I feel passionate about. Also, True Blood is in Yuletide! I feel like it's probably too big, but it's too late to change now, and so I am excited.

Other neat links: Dark_agenda, a Dreamwidth community for the 'Diversity in Yuletide 2009' challenge. You can read more at the community, but the basic idea is: request and offer fandoms with chromatic (aka PoC) creators and characters.

You're going for it? I'd had the impression that you, Dorian and I were probably going to be the only nonparticipants this year, so that if I didn't sign up I'd have my own pre-made support group when everyone else was writing and I was feeling all left out and stupid.

Note: This is not to be construed as any attempt to persuade you not to do it! It's more in the nature of admiring your valor from afar.

Or from anear, I suppose, if I should crack too. But I'll be surprised if I do.

I am, if just because I've always done it (or tried, at least. I did default once). Not doing Yuletide would feel like not celebrating Christmas, or more accurately like losing my last remaining thread of a claim to be participating in fandom. Besides, cutting down my offered fandoms to just a few should make it fairly easy. But mostly I think I just want to have something to talk about, hee.

Whatever your reason, I'm delighted!

Aw, thank you!
