In more cheerful news:
my Fandom_Stocking is up! For those who've not heard of it,
fandom_stocking is a winter gift!fic comm with much looser rules than Yuletide. You submit a list of fannish stuff you like (any size fandom is fair game)
here, the mod puts it up with screened comments, and people go and leave you commentfic and icons and good wishes and things. You can also go round leaving nice stuff in other people's "stockings", but you're not making a minimum time commitment.
Also, stockings aren't "opened" (unscreened) till Jan 6, so even if you're doing Yuletide, you'll have a little time to write for Fandom_Stocking as well. If you want. *wants all my friends to have stockingses, because it is FUN*
(If you do get a stocking, please post a linky? This fest is getting a bit HUGE.)
