I did my Yuletide nominations on the first day, which I think is the first time that’s ever happened. And then I didn’t update anywhere saying I made them, which is definitely the first time that’s ever happened! I suppose it’s easier when you can only nominate three fandoms and four characters in each fandom. So much compartmentilization that you have to make some decisions.
I nominated:
Brooklyn Nine-Nine - Jake, Amy, Holt, Terry (Rosa and Gina have also been nominated by someone who’s not me)
Raven Cycle - Maggie Stiefvater - Blue, Gansey, Adam, Ronan
Friday Night Lights - Coach, Mrs. Coach, Julie, Tim (and someone else nominated Landry, Tyra, Matt Saracen, and Jason Street, which made me super duper happy)
Does anyone who follows me not know what Yuletide is? Well, I guess just in case anyone’s dying of curiosity, it’s a multifandom fic fest with reveals on Christmas day. It’s ostensibly for small fandoms, but it really works out to be for small, medium, and all new fandoms in practice. If a fandom has fewer than 1000 fics of over 1000 words, complete, and in English on archiveofourown.org (AO3) and fanfiction.net combined, then it qualifies for Yuletide.
Fics just have to adhere to the recipient’s requested fandom and characters and be over 1000 words, and you get to pick which fandoms/characters you’re willing to write. Easy peasy! Plus, you get a fic of your own right back! Anyone with an AO3 account can play, and anyone can get an AO3 account, so really anyone can play.
Full list of rules are here, though don’t be intimidated by them unless you have a borderline fandom. I don’t really pay much attention to them.
Important dates are here.
Nominations can be done here.
You can see a good chunk of the nominations that have been made already here, and you can add to that sheet yourself here after you’ve made your nominations. The post about that sheet is here.
That’s a lot of links. Just follow Yuletide’s official tumblr instead.
If you have any questions, my ask box is open, but I’m not a mod or anything, just someone who’s participated in it for so many years that I’m not even sure how many it’s been. I think this might be my eleventh time????? DDDDD:
