What are your fandoms the rest of the year?
My main fandoms haven't changed much: Dragon Age & Critical Role. I do pick up others for a time or two, usually video games, sometimes books.

You'd have fun getting to know people who ____:
Post a mix of real life and fandom, like music and tabletop games a lot. I'm working on a novel this year and pushing my short works submissions this year too, so also people who are writing or want to write original stuff.

What was the most fun/fraught part of Yuletide 2020?
The waiting. Both for an idea to strike (I ended up writing for a fandom I didn't match on), and then waiting for it to go live and being able to see what my recipient thought about it.

I haven't requested it in a few years, but Little Red Riding Hood is probably always going to be my favorite. Everyone knows the story already. And it's easy to make it different to change the meanings and play with the characters. You can change almost everything about it, and somehow it still has the roots of the original.

Describe the most serendipitous/hilarious/wtf Yuletide moment in your Yuletide career:
I picked up a last minute PH YEARS AGO now that was a request for a LOLcat story. It was Christmas Eve and my partner and I just riffed back and forth for a few hours, working out ideas until finally we struck on something that just seemed to work out. All those little five minute fandom experiences are both challenging and freeing.

What other exchanges will you be freaking out about participating in this year?
Chocolate Box, Yuletide, Critmas and then I don't know what else.
