What did you write this Yuletide? 5 fics for Guardian and 1 for Sha Po Lang! Guardian: The Darkest Hour (Brings the Dawn), No Tome Unturned, Start the Sex Cycle, Shaving Face, Recentre the Heart, Reformation. Sha Po Lang: Storm-blind.
What are your fandoms? Mostly active in Guardian (drama) right now, but I'm by nature multifannish. Other fandoms I enjoy are Sha Po Lang, Nan Chan (Carp Gong), and Thousand Autumns on the cnovel side, and Machineries of Empire and A Memory Called Empire on the science fiction novels side, and I'm still waiting for someone to talk about Uplift with. Currently watching The Untamed, but I expect that'll be more casual.
What are you interested in/what would you be interested in reading on your feed? Any of the above fandoms, science fiction novels, cnovels that have more going on than just an OTP getting together. In-depth panfandom-type discussion of e.g. what makes an AU or whatnot. Though my tastes are somewhat ecletic and kinda broad, so.
Any fandoms you're looking forward to seeing in Yuletide next year? I plan on nominating Uplift again! Other than that, Sha Po Lang, and maybe I'll finally get around to reading The Luminous Dead before everyone else bores of it?
Anon memer? If so, what did you have fun with this year? (Non-anon memers... this is still a valid question!) Letter discussion and prompt ranking and 3T1L! In a non-exchange sense, answering people's questions on Ask Meme when I had answers to give, and lurking. (Mostly lurking, tbh.)
Optional details are optional... but fun to read. Anything else? Honk! (Please see my letter for further geese.)

What did you write this Yuletide? I wrote Always Blow on the Pie (Wellington Paranormal) and Dance with Me in the Sunlit Pools (Shadowscapes Tarot).
What are your fandoms? Click on my journal and find out ;) I have lots of fandoms but in the last year I've especially written lots for Xena and Roswell, New Mexico.
What are you interested in/what would you be interested in reading on your feed? Apart from my TV fandoms, I adore books (especially historical fiction, sci-fi, and F/F). I'm also interested in queer and feminist stuff.
Any fandoms you're looking forward to seeing in Yuletide next year? I assume this means this year? But no, there aren't.
Anon memer? If so, what did you have fun with this year? (Non-anon memers... this is still a valid question!) Exchange-related: Having the recipient of my dreams! Meme-related: Lurking, lol.
Optional details are optional... but fun to read. Anything else? I'm Spartacus.

What did you write this Yuletide? I wrote the fulcrum, a Dick Grayson/Jason Todd enemies to lovers story set in an alternate universe where the Joker is the hero and Batman is the villain (sorta).
What are your fandoms? DCU (Comics), The Umbrella Academy, Killing Eve, Star Trek (TOS/AOS), Voltron: Legendary Defender. I also flit in and out of movie and Netflix fandoms as they take my interest.
What are you interested in/what would you be interested in reading on your feed? Pretty much the above fandoms, but I'm also up for following multifandom/panfandom blogs, so our venn diagram of fandom overlap doesn't have to be a perfect circle. I'm especially into femslash, particularly dark femslash, so if you're that way inclined then let me know, and I'll probably end up picking up your fandoms.
Anon memer? If so, what did you have fun with this year? (Non-anon memers... this is still a valid question!) All of the writing support threads on FFA/coal, plus word sprints on EAD (sometimes I feel as though I wouldn't get any writing done at all if it weren't for those).
Optional details are optional... but fun to read. Anything else? I'm always up for writing buddies, so even if we don't have any fandom overlap and you're just looking for someone to brainstorm with, then feel free to hit me up! Sometimes I find checking in with someone is the only way to keep myself on track, so I find it really useful. Fair warning though, I tend to read f/f and m/m pretty much exclusively, so if you write a lot of m/f I'm not sure how helpful I'll be.

What did you write this Yuletide?
Before, During, After in the K.J. Charles England series (aka Proper English and Think of England. It's my longest Yuletide work at a bit over 7000 words, and I'm very pleased that my Pat read right to a number of commenters.
What are your fandoms?
I'm mostly lightly fannish during the year (see next question), so there isn't a ton of fannish content much of the time.
These days, I'm reading a number of period mysteries (both 'written in' and 'set in') and romances, focusing on the 1920s, and my usual reading is a mix of fantasy, mystery, and non-fiction. I watch a lot of British mystery shows as background when doing certain tasks, but don't watch a lot of TV otherwise (especially since The Good Place is coming to an end...)
What are you interested in/what would you be interested in reading on your feed?
My own journal is a mix of daily life stuff with a side of me ranting about bad research (what my friends have come to refer to as 'librarian smash' posts) which happen at irregular intervals when I'm motivated. My writing energy goes other places, both my own original writing and pagan/witchy non-fiction. (My profile has more about that, for the curious.)
I like reading other people talking about stuff they're passionate about, whatever that is - I learn a lot from reading how other people look at the world or what they care about, whether that's fic, a particular topic, or something else. I enjoy reading other people's fic if I know the canon (and occasionally if not), and I particularly enjoy worldbuilding/meta/analysis posts.
Any fandoms you're looking forward to seeing in Yuletide next year?
More K.J. Charles! There were a bunch of great stories this year, may there be many more. I'm also hoping Rivers of London gets at least one more year.
Anon memer? If so, what did you have fun with this year? (Non-anon memers... this is still a valid question!)
I lurk!
Optional details are optional... but fun to read. Anything else?
I am not yet awake enough to have a lot of opinions about things (thanks, cat, for waking me up early.)

What did you write this Yuletide? I wrote 6 things:
*(Really/Not/So) Okay (Dead to Me), a Judy/Jen fic about how Judy always automatically says "It's okay" whenever someone hurts her, and why that might be.
*The Natural and The Divine (Fleabag), a Fleabag/Priest fic with matchmaker!God POV.
*Top 5 New York City Spots for Superhero Sightings (The Defenders), a gen fic where Helen from Ohio somehow runs into all the Defenders during her trip to NYC.
*It's the only way to live (Stumptown), a gen fic about Dex and her beloved quirky well-ticketed car, with a slice of Dex/OFC.
*The Next Someday (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel), a Midge/Lenny fic where they pretend to be strangers in a bar who hook up.
*No Sleep in Brooklyn (Into the Spider-Verse), a gen Miles & Ganke developing friendship fic.
What are your fandoms? I watch A LOT of TV. I'm really into sitcom fandoms, especially quirky/shippy ones. And of course, I'm perennially in superhero fandoms of all kinds, though mostly TV/movies these days.
What are you interested in/what would you be interested in reading on your feed? I love gifsets that introduce me to new fandoms and memes and cat pics/videos.
Any fandoms you're looking forward to seeing in Yuletide next year? No. I rarely plan this far in advance. But if it's a quirky sitcom or a new superhero fandom I'll probably read/request/write it.
Anon memer? If so, what did you have fun with this year? (Non-anon memers... this is still a valid question!) I don't participate in the wank, but I like to read it. And like many neurotic coalies, I hope for/worry about mentions of my name/fics.
Optional details are optional... but fun to read. Anything else? I would love to make new friends who like to talk about my fandoms and ships and such! It's been over two years since I was really active in any fandom and I miss it.

What did you write this Yuletide?
3 things--a new personal record?!
Hop Aboard the Turntable, Elton John/John Reid, Rocketman (2019), M, a glimpse at their soured relationship through one Christmas and a set of black pearl jewelry
This Aching Metal Ring, Elton John/John Reid, Rocketman (2019), explicit/Yuleporn/deterioration of an unhealthy relationship through sex over the years
Seized My Body Whole, Gheorghe Ionescu/Johnny Saxby, God's Own Country (2017), explicit/Yuleporn/building a healthy relationship and developing Johnny's character through sex
What are your fandoms?
Rocketman and Richard Madden/Taron Egerton RPF has been my surprise big fandom of the year, but my tumblr is an accurate slice of what I'm into. Current sample: HDM, Mr. Robot, Killing Eve, recent canonically gay movies either m/m or f/f, casually into Star Wars and Marvel but not enough to get more than casually shippy about a few random things. ASOIAF is on deep background but still there in case TWOW is ever actually released, as is Sherlock Holmes.
What are you interested in/what would you be interested in reading on your feed?
I'm up for whatever--shared fandoms, LGBT shit, music, writing if people are interested, etc! My twitter is mostly random shitpost viral tweets and some US nd occasionally world politics (fairly far left but ultimately I'm a harm reductionist), but I do most of my talking there also.
Any fandoms you're looking forward to seeing in Yuletide next year?
I had such fun with Rocketman this year, especially writing Elton/John and receiving the most glorious Bernie/John hatesex, and got some amazing comments; I know movie fandoms die off quickly, but I kind of hope there are still some fics next year! This year my theme was mostly "queer period drama" and I suspect I'll be looking for similar things for next year, but you can never tell. (Last year I never would have guessed I'd actually like the Elton John musical biopic, so...)
Anon memer? If so, what did you have fun with this year? (Non-anon memers... this is still a valid question!)
On and off, since it's hard to keep up with big ones like FFA, but I'm generally around to read wank reports/see what sort of general panfandom shit is going on/see if anyone is talking about my fics in exchanges/yell extra excitedly about my gifts. I also was part of FFA's Rocketman threads over the summer and they were a great way to keep engaged while bedbound from a broken ankle.
Optional details are optional... but fun to read. Anything else? I hadn't done any exchanges at all this year, but Yuletide was so much fun for me personally, and my GOC fic did shockingly well. (I've never had an exchange fic get over 500 hits in the anon period before, my god.) I'm considering Chocolate Box and especially Smut Swap this winter/spring, but I guess we'll see.

What did you write this Yuletide?
The Swing of the Planets in Orbit - Oasis RPF a/b/o.
What are your fandoms?
Primarily MCU lately, but I'll probably write some more Oasis fic. I'm also mildly fannish about and read fic in The Magnus Archives, Black Spot, The Terror, a variety of horror movies (especially if there's f/f fic), a bunch of newer and older literary SFF.
What are you interested in/what would you be interested in reading on your feed?
Horror! SFF lit in general. Would also love to connect with any other Gallaghercest folks out there.
Any fandoms you're looking forward to seeing in Yuletide next year?
A variety of horror canons, especially books and movies. All my old literary standbys, like Le Guin and Gaiman and Mieville (especially Bas-Lag). Next year I might even actually sign up, after just treating this year. *fingers crossed*
Anon memer? If so, what did you have fun with this year? (Non-anon memers... this is still a valid question!)
I hung out a lot on coal and ffa this year. Really happy with nu!coal! The last couple of years on old!coal were a drag. RIP the underscore, though. ;__;

What did you write this Yuletide? Hoo boy. A whole bunch of weird esoteric Japanese history/RPF, and then some other things:
Arcadia - Stoppard - 4.66920[..], a fix-it for the play's ending
Discworld/The Culture - Picking Bodies, a crossover for hangingfire's 2F1 prompt in tribute to Sir PTerry and his desire to die in dignity
John Wick - MGMT, John learning management from Winston, a little
The Bedlam Stacks - Downstream, Merrick and Raphael fall into a time loop
Watchmaker of Filigree Street - Interweave, in which Thaniel accidentally encounters rope bondage through art
Go Player RPF - Only the Stones, in which modern Japanese Go players summon historical ones to try and beat AlphaGo, the AI that wins it all
Heian Era RPF - Follow, using ushiwakamaru's amazing prompt to turn Yoshitsune/Benkei into Yoshitsune/Soujoubou. Monsterlicking. I almost succeeded.
I also wrote some code.
What are your fandoms? I muddle along - I am not really in fannish space until Yuletide these days, though I'd love to be. The Culture (SOBS WHY WAS I ALONE THIS YEAR), Vorkosigan Saga, anything Japanese history, Natasha Pulley's books, Discworld, &c. I'm looking forward to picking canons up from other people, really!
What are you interested in/what would you be interested in reading on your feed? I'd love to be more social in general! Hit me up if you want someone to brainstorm/beta/convert to your fandom cult, because I don't read or watch media as much as I would like. I hover around the SFF space a bit, and cheer on everyone doing exchanges and such. GRAB ME BY THE LAPELS AND MAKE ME TAKE UP YOUR FANDOM!!! I can be easily converted with fic recs, screenshots, and screaming manifestos.
I'm also in search of just general social-ness! I've been knitting a whole bunch, and have begun running this year. Next year I plan on planting a dyers' garden, and to slowly turn into Monty Don. I'll also happily trade memes.
Any fandoms you're looking forward to seeing in Yuletide next year? Hm! The Culture folks, I hope to see y'all again. Any new Japanese history RPF folk. And hopefully Pulley's sequel to Watchmaker!
Anon memer? If so, what did you have fun with this year? (Non-anon memers... this is still a valid question!)
I enjoyed the nu!coal revival; I'm always there for the fun stuff and not really there for the wank, and 2018 was a wanky year. I prefer DW/thread style commenting above Discord conversations because of the pace of life and the ability to keep conversations going over hours instead of seconds! So thank you all for the inventive new memes. I enjoyed coalie catchups over the threads quite a bit.
Things I Would Admit Unanon: JE nonny, I am anonfailing here to say our rant/rave descent from MOONCHILD into Johnny the Creep was one of the highlights of my coal participation this year. Shine on, you crazy diamond.
Optional details are optional... but fun to read. Anything else?
If anyone has poetry recommendations, I'm in search of them!

Also, it looks like you wrote that Japanese folklore fic that ate my brain with the idea of a god wearing an ill-fitting human suit and the subtle sexiness (if that's what it was and if not, I'm sorry I have a dirty mind). It looked intriguing and so I wikied up for it a little, and whoa.

What did you write this Yuletide? -- This year I wrote for Doom Patrol [time travel fix-it, m/m, explicit] and Breakfast with Scot [backstory, m/m, mature]
What are your fandoms? -- Sci-fi, especially AI or in space + real history fandoms/mythology + literary detectives + the gothic genre + superhero movie universes
What are you interested in/what would you be interested in reading on your feed? -- I'm into cinema and I watch an embarrassing LOT of movies, from Scorsese to MCU, and a lot of genre TV. I'm a multifannish multishipper and as long as there's chemistry and an interesting conflict, I could be into it! I want to get into more book fandoms though!
Any fandoms you're looking forward to seeing in Yuletide next year? -- Imperial Radch because I have ~regrets! The Bone Key because I fell in love with Booth & friends too late in the year!
Anon memer? If so, what did you have fun with this year? (Non-anon memers... this is still a valid question!) -- Writing discussions - so helpful. Any fun threads that made me laugh like capslock title or choice games. Anything as long as it's not mean or tedious. I still haven't had time to read your weird porn, coalies, but I'll get there in January! Yuletide is a sort of an umbrella fandom for me and I hang around the past collections all year.
Optional details are optional... but fun to read. Anything else? -- I'm just here to have a good time and maybe write something in the process :)

What did you write this Yuletide? I wrote Hold Your Friends Close (Sungkyunkwan Scandal, Moon Jae-shin finally catches a clue about his longstanding relationship with best friend Gu Yong-ha) and where there's smoke, there's fire (911, Buck/Eddie navigate the HR minefield of dating and raising a kid while being firefighters who are on the same crew). Looking at that I realize now that I just wrote about best friends in love this year, which is v on brand.
What are your fandoms? A lot of Thai and Taiwanese dramas (3 Will Be Free, History2: Crossing the Line, He's Coming to Me, Great Men Academy, others!), 911, Schitt's Creek, The Adventure Zone, Dragon Age 2, romance novels (KJ Charles, Courtney Milan, Cat Sebastian, Alyssa Cole, and Kate Clayborn among my faves).
What are you interested in/what would you be interested in reading on your feed? More Thai and Taiwanese dramas!! More people to talk about romance novels and how delightfully stupid 911 is with me!
Any fandoms you're looking forward to seeing in Yuletide next year? I realize I'm going to sound like a broken record here, but I was psyched to see a bunch of Thai dramas nominated this year and I'm looking forward to seeing more! A lot of my old standard fandoms were too big or weren't nominated this year, so I was especially excited about all the dramas.
Anon memer? If so, what did you have fun with this year? I mostly lurk but I loved the writing discussions and I found a bunch of great stuff to read through people's recs. Last year someone on an anon meme titled one of my fics for me (thanks again, nonny!) when I was title-blocked and I'm still eternally grateful.
Optional details are optional... but fun to read. Anything else? I'm trying to write a romance novel?? I'm not getting very far but an attempt is being made!

What did you write this Yuletide? Gonna Have a Good Time (The Spy Who Dumped Me; f/f) Morgan/Aubrey and ye olden And There Was Only One Bed. A Familiar Ache (Fleabag; Fleabag/Hot Priest) Real deep dive into the Priest when he sees Fleabag from a distance. Patternless and Colorful (Wilder Girls; Hetty/Reese & Byatt) getting by after their own island apocalypse.
What are your fandoms? Mostly Critical Role, Dragon Age, The Adventure Zone and Dimension 20 (v. new). Mostly. But I dabble in plenty more when I find quick fandoms that suit me. Books: Six of Crows, Wicked Saints, Gideon the Ninth, Wayfarers series. TV/Moviews: I watch very broadly, so I pick up small fandoms for a time, every year (loves of SFF and/or Horror related shows, usually).
What are you interested in/what would you be interested in reading on your feed?I love reading about what other people are reading and/or writing - whether it's fanfiction or original. I also talk about real life, so I like talking to other people's lives too. And I make a weekly (Friday) post about music I've been listening to, so other music fans welcome.
Any fandoms you're looking forward to seeing in Yuletide next year? I have no idea yet. More new books probably, my TBR for 2020 is shaping up quite a lot.
Anon memer? If so, what did you have fun with this year? (Non-anon memers... this is still a valid question!) I lurked only this year, but I will always love to see treat lists and useful comments on PHs that go out.
Optional details are optional... but fun to read. Anything else? I'm picking up edits for a novel I started in November this month, and will probably be working on it a lot this year. I'll be posting the stuff I wrote for Critmas Exchange as soon as it's de-anoned. Don't know what else, but new friends are always welcome.
no subject
What did you write this Yuletide? Two Baby-Sitters Club stories (Draw Me Like You Do and Five Secrets from an Art Portfolio, both of which are Claudia/Ashley and basically two artists connecting or reconnecting.); one Lost Boys story (Burn, Michael/Star, a canon divergence where killing the head vampire doesn't save the half vampires.); and one The Ghost and the Darkness story (The Care and Handling of Maneaters, John/Helena, in which the Ghost and the Darkness were supernatural and John and Helena hunt other monsters too.)
What are your fandoms? Almost all of them are Yuletide eligible. I write and read broadly, but things I currently love include: all things werweolf, Leverage, horror stories including cheesy creature features, Willow, the Fast and the Furious movies including Hobbs & Shaw, romantic suspense, pro wrestling, and catching up on the to read spreadsheet that has several several hundred on it.
What are you interested in/what would you be interested in reading on your feed? Everything. Some specific things off the top of my head: I love reading about things that people love. Queerness, activism, werewolves, horror, and books to read or avoid.
Any fandoms you're looking forward to seeing in Yuletide next year? I am 100% nominating and requesting Willow again because the amazing story I received this year made me want even more. I keep a running list of potential fandoms throughout the year that includes stuff I love but also stuff other people recommend. So far it contains Willow and this Renault 30 Years in the Making ad with queer girls (here on Youtube).
Anon memer? If so, what did you have fun with this year? (Non-anon memers... this is still a valid question!) Wrestling nonnies are the best! Recommendations, particularly book recs, on meme are why I have such a huge spreadsheet of things to read and watch and play and listen. Coal's prompt discussions have given me a lot of things to attempt to write (even though my writing output was down for Yuletide). I both love and hate talk about fic exchanges.
Optional details are optional... but fun to read. Anything else? My current public about me page.

I'm Cerberusia on DW, Tumblr and AO3.
What did you write this Yuletide?
I wrote a Callan fic for Firestorm717! 'A Face That Fits', Callan/Meres smut set after Meres comes back from Washington.
What are your fandoms?
Star Wars, Callan, Percy Jackson, Oasis RPF, Weiss Kreuz - currently the big ones.
What are you interested in/what would you be interested in reading on your feed?
Any of the above fandoms, plus Harry Potter and older anime fandoms (Gundam Wing, YGO, Rurouni Kenshin...). I also like folk and classical music, languages (esp. ancient ones) and general entertaining animal titbits.
Any fandoms you're looking forward to seeing in Yuletide next year?
Same as usual: Raffles, Ted&Ralph, Callan, Wells&Wong.
Anon memer? If so, what did you have fun with this year? (Non-anon memers... this is still a valid question!)
I've been spreading the Gallaghercest love on FFA, so that was really fun! And talking Star Wars, even if I did have to dodge various wanks (god, why does fandom-at-large not embrace my preferred femdom reading of Reylo??).
Optional details are optional... but fun to read. Anything else?
My other interests include the Heian era and Japanese woodblock prints (ukiyo-e). I'm the cultured sort of weeb, thank you very much. Also, incest.

What are your fandoms?
Highlander, primarily. I still love Pacific Rim. I love a lot of things that I don't write for, like Star Trek, LotR, MCU (except for a crossover), HP, etc. But Highlander is my one true fandom. Otherwise I tend towards children's lit, videogames, board games. In Yuletide, things I've written four or more stories for are Black Books, Emelan, Ocean's Eleven, and The Magicians. I've got a fondness for 80s movies too like Breakfast Club, Lost Boys, Real Genius, etc.
What are you interested in/what would you be interested in reading on your feed?
I love varied enthusiasm about fannish things and food.
Any fandoms you're looking forward to seeing in Yuletide next year?
I'm really hoping to see more Spirit Island! I'm also hoping to get more people into Arcade Spirits so I'm not the only one looking for it.
Anon memer? If so, what did you have fun with this year? (Non-anon memers... this is still a valid question!)
I lurk for the most part and enjoy seeing people get excited about things without being too obvious. It's such a delicate balance!
Optional details are optional... but fun to read. Anything else?
I'm usually only really active in the winter, and I don't post much, but I love to read what folks put out there.

Hi!
What did you write this Yuletide? Three stories--The Proof of the Pudding is in the Eating (Burnt), A Cliff so Tall (The Green Men Series), The Man Advantage(Mighty Ducks)
What are your fandoms? I don't know if I have fandoms as such these days, but aside from nostalgia fandoms that I've always liked (SGA, Generation Kill, Band of Brothers etc.), I tend to read a lot of fantasy and romance books. This year, I became obsessed with Kate Daniels (and would gladly welcome recommendations for other things to try!) I can pretty much be persuaded to read/watch/consume any fandom if there's a good enough pairing!
What are you interested in/what would you be interested in reading on your feed? Anything with good story lines/pairings :)
Any fandoms you're looking forward to seeing in Yuletide next year? Knives Out! Guns of the Dawn (I'm so stoked someone wrote in this fandom this year!)
Anon memer? If so, what did you have fun with this year? (Non-anon memers... this is still a valid question!) I really love all the fandom recommendation comments (I have so many saved to try!)
Optional details are optional... but fun to read. Anything else? I'd love to write more and have some ties back into fandom again--I can't promise that I'll be more active on dreamwidth this year, but I will certainly try.

What did you write this Yuletide? So Large Against the Sky, Gifted, 20k or so of Frank/Bonnie because apparently, at some point, long became my default (I’m at four straight Yuletides with my assignment running over 10k) and I’m still confused by that.
What are your fandoms? At this point? Damned if I know, really. I don’t have any overpowering ones at the moment, just a lot of little loves. I mean, I’ll sometimes claim Yuletide is my fandom and even I’m not sure if I’m kidding. My fandom history is listed in one of my more recent DW entries.
What are you interested in/what would you be interested in reading on your feed? Many things. I’m curious and I’m especially curious about people, especially people who like to talk about why they write or read things. I am the target audience, writers, for your DVD commentary and reveals posts. As for what I’m interested in, fandom, Gen X complains about everything, fountain pens, movies that catch my interest, puns, and deeply corny jokes.
Any fandoms you're looking forward to seeing in Yuletide next year? I’m hoping to see Knives Out there next year.
Anon memer? If so, what did you have fun with this year? (Non-anon memers... this is still a valid question!) I dip my toes in from time to time, especially before sign-ups open (look, it’s important to know when you’re going to need to drop a canon because there’s a letter that makes you realize you just cannot risk getting assigned to that person, okay?). (I mean, fine, if I'm going to admit to anything beyond that, it's that the continued wanking over a certain canon created by someone I've met and have my own personal opinions about that I'd cheerfully admit unanon, but only in physical space, has been amusing the hell out of me for reasons best described as incredibly, exceptionally, phenomenally petty.)
Optional details are optional... but fun to read. Anything else? I’m feeling performance anxiety around this introduction whole process. Makes no sense, but that’s where we are with it. It’s probably for the best that I’ve never had to try online dating.

Knives Out is really quite good, by the by!

What are you interested in/what would you be interested in reading on your feed?Any of the above, and pretty much anything else on my AO3. I'm wide-read and wide-writing.
Any fandoms you're looking forward to seeing in Yuletide next year? I enjoy several perennial favorites, like Pern and the various Disney movies. New stuff? 9-1-1 Lone Star, Avenue 5, Tommy, and Locke & Key. (I'm also so very excited for Star Trek: Picard, but will not try to shoehorn my large fandom into yuletide. ;)
Anon memer? If so, what did you have fun with this year? (Non-anon memers... this is still a valid question!) I enjoy the writing threads, the camaraderie, and the chance to get second (and third) opinions when I second guess things. I'm also one of the Stats Coalies, and love those threads.
Optional details are optional... but fun to read. Anything else? RL and work have recently kept me from writing as much as I like/used to, but I'm hoping to get back to it.
