'tis the season to sign up for fic exchanges

[garonne]

So, I really like fic exchanges. I just love snooping around someone's journal and working out exactly what they love to read. I love waking up one morning and finding I've got a fic written specially for me.

In fact, I like them so much I'm in the process of signing up for far too many of them!

Oh, thanks for the explanations of yuletide! It does sound less complicated this way. :-) (And I didn't know about the yuletide-admin-comm - so that tip was pretty useful!) I've skimmed through the comms for some time today and I think I'm ready to go! :-D

I'm not sure about the fandoms yet. There are so many possibilities actually! :-D I mean, I'm not really active in any of those fandoms, but I do love movies / TV series and books in general, so I expect to like a lot of the yuletide fandoms. From the stories I read last year, I'm thinking about signing up for (choose 4 of the following): Pushing Daisies, Discworld, Love Actually, Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, Gail Carriger - The Parasol Protectorate, NANA - and I'm sure I could find some more if I wanted. ^^ Also by reading the crazy-nomination-strategies I saw someone is planning to nominate my all-time favourite book series: The Long Price Quartet by Daniel Abraham. So if this is there this time, I'll be sure to sign up for it! :-D

What about you? Any fandoms you're hoping to see?

Also, listing Discworld I suddenly realized I haven't written the Vetinari fic / drabble I promised you months ago. Sorry about that! :-( I completely forgot. But I'll try to write it before all the seasonal exchange madness starts. :-)

On the subject of finding fic exchanges, I just came across this post with a list of lots that are happening this year. You might find something that interests you!

The fandoms I thinking of signing up for are mostly fandoms that have appeared on and off in yuletide over the past few years, so I think I have a good chance of someone else wanting them this time too. Blake's 7, All Creatures Great and Small, the Chrestomanci books, Island at War...

I wasn't planning to make any nominations, I was just planning to hope that other people would nominate them and I'd just have to sign up. But now I realise that you can only nominate 3 (or 4?) fandoms but sign up for 6. So it's a good idea to nominate what you want, in case someone else wanted it too, but it was 5th or 6th on their list. I just going to go nominate what I'd like, without worrying about strategies or what other people have nominated or anything and then... well, we'll see!

Yay, Vetinari drabble! :D
