People doin' Yuletide WRONG

[lizardbeth]

So yuletide_admin (or Home/archive) is the annual ficathon/fest for rare, obscure and dead fandoms.

And every year someone tries to nominate some wildly NON-OBSCURE fandom, and it cracks me up every time.

Last year someone tried to nominate High School Musical for Yuletide. I smacked it down.
(Seventeen THOUSAND fics at the Pit. Even if 90% magically don't count because they're crap, that's STILL more fic than some ineligible fandoms have.)

Anyway, this year's funny? Lotrips

*dies*

(I realize it's deader than it used to be but COME ON.)

ETA: Aaaaaand NOW we have Merlin added! Because there aren't a gazillion fics for that fandom or anything...

I am WAITING for someone to add Twilight. or Harry Potter.

*whimpers*

How are you seeing that people are nominating these crazy popular fandoms?

*is so tempted to nominate just in case of failure to resist*

If you go to the nominations page (which, I'm not saying you should, because it might SUCK YOU IN *g*), you can pull one of the drop-down menus and look. Whenever someone nominates a "new" fandom it gets added to the list. The script blocks most ineligible nominations, but if people spell or format it wrong they can creep in anyway.

I think it's fun to look for them and lower the banhammer.
