Need. Break.

[lizardbeth]

I'm only to M for doing the offers for Yuletide and my brain has the consistency of a frappaccino. TOO MANY DECISIONS. So I figured I'd better take a break before I accidentally offer something in a language I don't even know. I have no idea how people are finished already, unless they're offering only the bare minimum.

There are some I'd love to offer, because of fond memories (like Homefront - loved that show!) but I don't remember it well enough to write anything for it. And someone nominated Making Fiends, which is awesome. I've only seen three, so again, not offering, but they're so funny.

ETA: It's also kind of funny that there are only three characters requested for Pensacola Wings of Gold, and two of them are Trucco and Sandra's characters. Which I'd love to write for - if, y'know, I COULD FIND THE DAMN SHOW. hrmpf.

And also, whoever nominated Teletubbies should be poked with a stick. Really hard. That is scary stuff, man.

ETA 2: DONE! This year I did more "Any" offers, so it's gonna be quite a crapshoot. (last year I was 90% sure I'd match on TSCC and I did: this year? I have no idea!) Next up is my Dear Yuletide Writer letter.

ETA 3: CRAP. Made a character selection mistake in one of my fandoms. *head desk* It's not like I hate the characters I actually ended up with, it's just not the ones I'd rather write. Screw it.

I usually don't offer to write fic for fandoms I wrote before. So, much as I love TSCC, I wrote a huge fic for it at last year's Yuletide and I want to do something new. So this year I kind of just tossed things at the wall and we'll see what comes up - makes assignments more fun.

[though man are there so many Yuletide fandoms I don't understand. How do you write a fic about a song or an album or whatever?]

Since I'm requesting a song we might find out!

But make sure you leave enough detail for someone to be able to write treats for you!

Well, I was a fandom newbie for my first Yuletide (not even a year since my first fic) so I was pretty nervous about branching out anyway. This time I've got a longer offer list. I'm debating whether to offer either of them this year - they've already got a number of requests and offers, so I'm torn between "might be easy/fun to go back to something familiar" and "should offer as much as possible to help mods" and "but I already wrote these fandoms!"

I still don't get writing fic over a song thing, but who knows? Fandom is nothing if not creative in all sorts of amazing, sometimes surprising, ways.

Oh, there'll be enough detail. But I figure the bit about what draws me to the character I'm requesting can go in the Yuletide letter (I am So Excited about the possibilities for every one of my requests - I mean, still assuming I decide to sign up)
