Fandom: Yuletide Retrospective 2005 - 2019
Using the same format I did for the last retrospective, which included stories through 2017. As of 2019, I think I'm at 73 stories in Yuletide written for 53 people across 37 fandoms. I know sometimes there's talk of a treating clique, but of those 53, I think I knew 5 before I wrote for them the first time. Some of them have become friends since, but the majority of the people I treat are strangers with really interesting prompts.
