Guess what! Signups for Yuletide are open!
I don't really write or read fanfic much anymore, but Yuletide manages to make me do both. For anyone who doesn't know, it's a fanfic exchange, based on rare/small fandoms. You can request 3-4 fandoms, and you have to offer at least 4 fandoms to write from (there's over 2000 to choose from). Once signups close there's some magic database-y stuff done, and you're matched with someone to write for, and someone's matched with you. But you don't know who, and that's the fun. Fic have to be a minimum of 1k, but that's not that long, I've found. Then they're uploaded, and you get your fic on Christmas day!
Authors aren't revealed until January 1 though, so it's a lot of fun reading and trying to figure who your author is and such.
I've loved it the past two years, and I'd love to encourage more folk to sign up this year! Sign ups run through Sunday
So what am I requesting you might ask? Well, I did say it was a rare fandom exchange...
