Poll: Yuletide! Yay!

[thefourthvine]

I am very excited about yuletide, and I've been bouncing around like a crazed thing since I signed up. (This is the Anticipation phase of Yuletide. Yes, there are phases of Yuletide. Yes, I have actually written them down. I know, I know, so pathetic, but it's an important thing to me, okay? I was never that excited about the holidays as a kid, but as an adult, Yuletide makes me absolutely delirious with joy.)

Anyway. I deal with the Anticipation phase (This is actually Anticipation Part One, because sign-ups are still open. When they close, I will start hard-core Anticipation. It is dangerous to come within seven feet of me during that time.) in many ways, but in part by refreshing the requested fandoms list, so that I can admire the shiny numbers climbing ever higher. (Plus, this year, there is a festival of gold and green to admire there. You can even see how many people asked for and volunteered for a given fandom. It is the coolest thing ever!)

But the site went down briefly today. Suddenly, I had no outlet for my Yuletide glee. Hence, this poll.

And if any of you have friends listers who are also doing Yuletide, I'd love it if you'd point 'em over here, 'cause I don't know how many of my own friends listers are. (You all should, though. You get a story! In a tiny fandom of your choosing! And you can write a story that will make someone else's heart sing! And this year there is no qualifying requirement! Go, sign up, and then come back and take the poll!)

Yeah, yeah. 'Tis the season to abuse exclamation marks and the Create Poll function on LJ. Happy holidays!

This'll be my fourth year participating. I offered 74 fandoms - that was being strict with myself, not offering anything I've written in previous years or movies/books/shows which I'm not familiar with but I know my housemates own... Oddly enough, the fandoms I requested are also ones I really, really want to get to write in.

Your definition of "being strict" is my defintion of "wild and crazy." Um. Wow. I am impressed.

Oddly enough, the fandoms I requested are also ones I really, really want to get to write in.

So you won't be weirded out if you end up in a sort of 69 situation, with someone writing you a story in the same fandom you're writing in? I've always wondered if that would seem kind of odd and Ouroboros-y.

I think it depends on how much scope the fandom gives me - like, one of my requests was Sarah Waters' The Night Watch, and it'd be weird if I ended up writing for it as well because I think I've only got one possible story for that fandom in me and it's basically what I requested. Still, nobody's asked for that one apart from me, so I think I'm safe. Besides, even if I get assigned one of my four requested fandoms (*crosses fingers for The History Boys*) there's only a 25% chance I'll get it written for me too *g*
