Progress, of a sort.
Oct. 23rd, 2021 11:08 amI'm not signed up for Yuletide this year. However, I came much closer to signing up for Yuletide than I ever have before!
Admittedly, this is a very low bar to clear, and would be adequetely covered by "remembering I was going to". But I also finally got round to looking up how it actually works, looked through the list of fandoms, chose three I'd like fic of and four I thought I could write, and even filled in most of the form.
...unfortunately, I did all of this yesterday, having immediately discovered that the closing date was today (9:00 UST), and in between a lot of other stressy stuff. So when I went to finish the form by writing what I liked about the fandoms and the kind of fic I liked, my brain broke. I'm not great at specifying stuff or asking for things in the first place, and I just couldn't think. But I certainly wasn't going to send it off blank, so I didn't send it at all.
(Yes, if I was here more often, I'd have seen my friends talking about it before now. But I wasn't.)
Anyway, now that I know the system, I'm probably going to have a look at pinch-hitting and treats, and I know what I'm doing for next year, so here's hoping.
