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!

Hmm. Well, probability probably is on your side re people being from America, although I find the issue of location in fandom interesting (it's global! but not global!).

*hugs you* That is awesome, thanks! I am indeed in Melbourne! (Lovely city!) And it pains me to admit I already do that (I went though a period of time when my incentive for getting out of bed in the morning was to check my email, but that was getting a bit scary so now I have breakfast first. See! I am balanced!)

And yes, I shall stalk my email then. (My god, there are squillions of pinch hitters! It is heart warming, except for how it will be a bloodbath.)

And! Very exciting! I had thought that Matthew Reilly's Scarecrow series was a fandom (or at least a good writing slash fandom) of 2! So even though I got delurker to request it for us, I was not expecting much! But *someone has volunteered to write it!* Eeeeeee! It has turned green! *bounces* I'm not sure what's more exciting - that there might be a story in it (a story! a real story in my tiny tiny fandom!) or that *someone else is a fan*! There is no bad here!

The only slightly sad thing is that now that Yuletide is off google to discourage spam, it is not the first thing that appears when you google yuletide, which always gave me a warm glow. Because I liked the idea of people looking for christmas traditions and finding one of ours.
