Yuletide, anyone?

[featherxquill]

I've seen a few posts on my flist about this recently, and the consensus seems to be that Yuletide IS a go this year.

Am I the only one who can't wait? OMG. It's probably because I've watched so many things lately that have no fanfic at all, or very little, and I can't wait to talk about nominations and nominate and signup and zomg yaye.

So. Anyone else kind of itching to hear some news? To flail around in that big post of ideas like they had last year (and I'm guessing other years - last year was my first)? Anyone else want to talk about it?

I can't remember how many nominations I get (five?), but I've already got some in mind. 3rd Rock from the Sun, most definitely, and possibly Teachers. And because I'm on this Jane Curtin kick, I think I also want to nominate The Librarian Trilogy (Charlene/Flynn, anyone? Or Charlene/Flynn's Mum? Come on, you know that would be awesome) and Kate and Allie (la_fono, I saw season one, ordered the rest immediately, and you're right, I totally ship that). And, er, something else, I guess :).

Is anyone else already thinking about what fandoms they want to nominate? Planning what they want to request? Tell me because I'm curious! :)

I would be ALL OVER Librarian fic. Except I want something Judson-centric, because badass Bob Newhart never stops being awesome to me.

I have no idea what I want to ask for yet (Mad Men, maybe. (Betty, ILU.) or Leverage (Caper!) or IDEK! But I love love love Yuletide and I can't wait for it to get started. :D

I could totally dig Judson-Charlene fic, so long as it was gen. Badass Bob Newhart is entirely awesome, I agree, but for some reason I could not see myself shipping them.

excuse me while I be a moron. What exactly is yuletide? I have never known :)

It's a minor fandom fic exchange held each year at Christmas. The website is yuletidetreasure.org (http://www.yuletidetreasure.org/) and there are over a thousand obscure or just minor fandoms represented there. It is a thing of wonder :D.

oooh that is very exciting!!! I am going to read some fic now :)

My actual requests have been almost the same for the last three years (I keep requesting the same two fandoms over and over, hoping that one day I'll get them), but I'm still mulling what I'm going to nominate. I know Afterlife and The Worst Witch will be two of them, and I'm thinking of Taken too (film with Liam Neeson).

Wow, I'd totally forgotten about The Worst Witch! HB is my favourite!

For Yuletide all I care about this time is 3rd rock! :)

Probably Tamora Pierce again. Maybe Ballet Shoes

I've never taken part, as in write anything but I always love to read them! Obscure fandoms usually have one of the best fics around. :D
