[emotions of yuletide]

[tellitslant]

Tragedy: so many things on the Yuletide list I want to request/offer but haven't finished watching!

Confusion: "Canadian provinces (Anthropomorfic)"... is a Yuletide fandom? I DON'T EVEN. And now I'm thinking about it.

Distress: Characters under "RPF - 20th/21st C Politics" include Ralph Klein, Stephen Harper, and Stockwell Day. OH GOD, BRAIN BLEACH, PLEASE. (Who wants to write fic about Klein? What kind of fic could possibly BE written about Klein? Please don't answer these questions!)

Ambivalence: Only offering up to 10 fandoms? Hm. (I almost never offer 'any' characters, which makes the 'bucket offer' difficult for me.)

Sadness: How come the "RPF - Doctor Who" category doesn't include Alex Kingston? Um, not that I'd write that. Really.

Glee: YULETIDE YAY.


...I'm on campus working very hard on my thesis. Yes.

ALBERTA/MANITOBA?

Let me tell you, the Northwest Territories are having Nunavut.

(OH GOD I'M SO SORRY)

[rhivolution]

...I can't beat that. I was running through provinces and puns,* and I got nothing.

* Yes, this US American can name all the provinces...I think...yes, got them all. Thanks, seventh grade!

On my list would also be frustration at having to offer two characters! I actually had to pull two offers because of it and I adjusted another offer in a way I am decidedly less than thrilled by!

[tellitslant]

Wait, you have to offer two? What? That is so annoying! I wonder what the reason behind that is.

[christie]

I assume it is to make the matching easier.

[jae]

Yes, that is my own personal least favourite new change. :( There are two fandoms that I've never gotten to write that I will now definitely never write because I only want to write one character.

I am kind of hoping it changes back for next year!

I will say that one thing I like is limiting the number of fandoms people can offer! I believe that can only have a positive impact on the quality of the stories.

[jae]

Well, except that in practice they're not REALLY putting a limit on that. People can still offer as many fandoms as they want in the "bucket" offer, as long as they're willing to offer "any" characters in those offers.

Sigh.

The changes I liked were being able to specify tags for things, though it remains to be seen how much of an effect that will have on the actual matching results.

I want to read the Canadian provinces anthropomorfic! I was in the yuletide chat room when the woman came up with it. :)

I do kind of want to read it now! I'm picturing everybody ganging up on Quebec...

[dbskyler]

For some reason, I'm picturing Ontario and Quebec throwing parties and forgetting to invite British Columbia.

(Hmm, it's possible that this non-Canadian has been heavily influenced by her Vancouver friends . . . )

There are enough people commenting on Yuletide and various fandoms that are involved, so now I think I must go check it out and see if I can sign up or not...

Don't worry, fic about Klein wouldn't be slashy, and he'd be the bumbling comic relief. The possibilities for hilarity are endless!

[tellitslant]

Except... you never know what people might want to read or write! There might be people who find Klein sexy! I don't want to think about the possibility, but it exists! ;)
