croikSo who's doing Yuletide this year?
For anyone not familiar with it, I'm talking about the Obscure Fandom Secret Santa Project. Every year around holiday times Yuletide starts up. Everyone who wants to join submits requests for fics they'd like to have written for them. Then they submit a list of the fandoms they are will to write fics for. Internet magic matches them up, and the outcome is a Secret Santa fic!
The catch is (as the title indicates) that all the fandoms allowed to participate have to be "obscure". The criteria is something like "has less than 500 fics on ff.net" or something. It's a fun way to get fics for fandoms you don't see often. I've been in it for two years, and both times I was really pleased with what I wrote and received (ironically, both years I got a fic from the same person XD).
Apparently they're starting the fandom list over this year--everyone is going to get to suggest 6 fandoms, with characters, to go onto the Big Fandom List (rather than comb over the list from last year). I'm planning on nominating Phoenix Wright, Okami, and Shadow of the Colossus for sure. What I'll end up asking for among those...no idea :O
It's too bad Ouran already has 50,000 crappy drabbles up, that would have been fun to request this year.
Anyway, if you like to fic, come join :D
EDIT: The nomination page is up here
