And so I suppose I will post too!

It's raining an excessive amount here today, which on the one hand: blugh, what a gray, cold, rainy day. But on the other hand, I finally have an excuse to wear my new rain boots! I bought them back in... March, I think? And hadn't had a reason to wear them until today. I think they'll mostly be useful once the snow comes (though I dread that day) but today is such a swamp I figured I'd wear them anyway. And I only got soaked above the boots and below my jacket, so: success!

In case anyone has missed all the many announcements about it, it's nominations week for Yuletide. (Yuletide is a Christmas-timed exchange for fic from small fandoms. If you love a book or movie that only has a few stories written about it, this is your chance to ask for more!) You have until tomorrow to nominate any fandoms you want. I nominated Benjamin January (unsurprisingly) with Ben, Rose, Hannibal and Ayasha (mostly because someone else had already nominated Shaw); The Less Than Epic Adventures of TJ & Amal; and Heian era RPF (Murasaki Shikibu and Sei Shonagon). Though at least one of those choices was because people had already nominated things I'm thinking of asking for. I haven't entirely decided what to request yet; there's so many excellent things to choose!

Anyway. Yuletide! Who else is excited?

It is rainy here, too! I wish I had nice rain boots! Instead I have more trendy boots that make me nervous to wear in the rain. They do keep me dry, though. :)

Oh man, those are GREAT Yuletide noms. I have to get in there and do that. Yuletide! \o/

I'm excited! I. . . still don't know exactly what I'm requesting, and even less about what I'm offering. But excited just the same!

Rain boots :D I am buying a new pair as soon I get my pay this month. I love rain boots (and they do come in handy up here), my old pair is so old and falling apart.

I usually look through the fics from Yuletide in case there's anything to my liking, but I have never nominated any fandoms. I hope you get some fics to your nominations.

I'm excited for a lot of fandoms! I look forward to writing treats.

Haha, the trendy boots are what I usually wear too. But after too many winters of freezing toes, I have succumbed and purchased plastic galoshes.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Haha, yes, that's exactly where I am. But even without knowing, it's so fun to get caught up in the Yuletide spirit!

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

They're so great! It's nice to finally have dry toes for once.

And thank you! I hope so too. :)

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Me too! :D Are you signing up, or just doing treats?

[incandescent.livejournal.com]

Haha, I'm about to give in and purchase a very expensive pair of galoshes. I think they'll be worth it. :)

[dhampyresa.livejournal.com]

I'm signing up! But also doing treats, because treats are fun.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Awesome! I always intend to write so many more treats than I actually manage.

[dhampyresa.livejournal.com]

Same! I'll be especially busy come mid-December this year, but I live in hope.
