Yuletide?

[peroxidepirate]

I am well enough to contemplate Doing Things again!

I spent almost all of yesterday in bed watching TV, sneezing and knitting. I didn't even write, didn't walk dogs, didn't do anything.

If I can write 4000 words today and another 4000 tomorrow, I'll be back where I want to be. I think I should be able to catch up on the around-the-house stuff by tomorrow, too.

I'll be even further behind at work, since I went home six hours early yesterday, but that's just too bad.



I'm thinking about Yuletide, trying to decide if I want to participate this year. I just saw The Secret of Moonacre (and why isn't it Moon Acre anyway?), which is the sort of not-quite-fairy-tale kind of thing I always request, but this time in movie form (since I haven't been great with reading books lately).

OR I COULD REQUEST TWELVE HOUSES FIC! Lisa, Kit, Rosie, Elscy, are any of you up for Yuletide this year? It would be lovely if a few of us could request and/or offer in this fandom!

Other candidates include the books Will Grayson Will Grayson, Thirteen Little Blue Envelopes/The Last Little Blue Envelope, and Five Children and It, or the TV show Missing.

... which kind of answers that question: yes, it seems likely that I'm doing Yuletide this year.

I've never done yuletide, but I have been thinking about doing it this year. :)

Sweeet! If you decide to nominate Twelve Houses, we should coordinate characters to make sure all six mains are nominated! (You can only nominate four characters each, and I would love to be sure as many as possible are in.)

[elsceetaria.livejournal.com]

Definitely!

[elsceetaria.livejournal.com]

Alright, I'm biting. If we wanted to branch from the main 6 to all partners as well, we could do a gender split and get them all nominated between the two of us. :)

I like it! I'll nominate the girls, you nominate the boys?

[elsceetaria.livejournal.com]

Sounds good.

[peroxidepirate.livejournal.com]

Okay, mine are in! :D

Ahh, I'm scared stiff of participating in Yuletide. And I'm not sure why - it's not like all the entries are astounding, I'm just... shy. ^__^

[peroxidepirate.livejournal.com]

You? Shy? buwahahaha!

Er, sorry. I'm sure you are if you're outside your comfort zone, but having met you through Pierce fandom and admired your BNF-iness long before we became friends, it's kind of a startling idea.

Anyway, perhaps there will be Twelve Houses fic for you to enjoy even if you don't sign up!

[q-sama.livejournal.com]

Hahaha! This is one of those "WTF? that's how you see me?" moments, because I've *never* considered myself to be remotely BNF-y. :P

Mainly my comfort-issue is that I don't really consider myself a writer, so sometimes exchanges feel like I'm forcing myself to write, rather than doing it because I'm compelled.

Or the easy answer: I'm a big ball of crazy. :P

Yuletide. Now there's one of those fandom things that has always perplexed me.

[peroxidepirate.livejournal.com]

Oh, it's SO fun! Though honestly my favorite part is trolling through the collection and reading fics for things I like but never even thought about ficcing. :)
