Observations on Yuletide so far

[lizardbeth]

1. Once Upon a Time hit fandom really, really HARD. It's huuuuuuge.

2. I'm sad that this will be the first Yuletide I've participated in where I couldn't write something for Jeremiah. Maybe I'll write something anyway, just cuz.

3. I'm sad to see China Beach with no offers. But I assume a lot of people are in my boat -- I have fond memories of it, but I haven't actually watched it in a very long time.

4. There's a couple of rare-ish sources I could offer and might be fun, but my knowledge is limited so I really need to see the requests to know if I could do them. Of course those are the people that don't have letters at the collection post.

5. Remember, the more characters you request, the less likely a match becomes.

This is my first year doing it so I am really excited! I just went with the characters I really wanted (for request) and the ones I felt comfortable enough writing (for offers).

I've seen a lot of people requesting four characters this year - at least it seems that way, compared with previous years. Also, amusingly, a couple of letters that listed five characters? And I'm just thinking, you can't have requested all those characters on the form, what is going on here?
