Poll: Yuletide! Yay!

I am very excited about [livejournal.com profile] 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!

Hmm. Yes. Maybe if we got people to make several requests, like Yuletide, but ask that at least one is for something well known/easy to get hold off, as a fallback if vidders can't get source/inspiration.

And I'm sure people would be interested in helping out even if they weren't vidding! Like arranging sorce, or betaing or whatever.

And there'd definetly be interest from newbies.

Spooltide is a fantastic name. :)

I would be willing to help organise it, but my vidding knowledge is only beginning to move into 'intermediate' from 'ok, I've opened the program! ...now what?' so I'd be of limited help there.
