What do you go by/where can you be found? I'm theoldgods on AO3/tumblr, theoldgods#0354 on Discord, and minebyrights on twitter (I'm still very active on both tumblr and twitter and tend to flit in and out of Discord depending on what exchanges are going on and if I'm participating, but at some point I'd like to get more into fandom stuff on Discord)

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.

Aaah, it was you who wrote me the gorgeous God's Own Country fic! Thank you so much ♥ I've followed you on twitter, because you'd better believe I'm all about those viral shitposts.
