You can indeed write Yuletide fics for anyone you like! :) If they're over 1000 words, they go in the Yuletide collection (and etiquette is usually to tag said submission as a 'Yuletide treat' so the assigned author still gets appropriate recognition for writing the thing they were assigned), and if it's less than 1000 words, it goes in the Yuletide Madness collection, which the mods open once everyone has received a full-length gift (usually the 23rd or 24th). It's a great way for people who love the *idea* of Yuletide but are kind of intimidated the sign-up process or the idea of getting something they're not sure if they could do to participate.
And ohhhh, some of the prompts at that fest are so very tempting, but gah, I don't know if I'll have the energy to write another full-length fic after I finish my Yuletide story (and if I can, one or two of the 46356343 treats I plan on writing every year). Just got done with hoggywartyxmas and haven't even started Yuletide yet, and the idea of a breather between Yuletide reveals and seting up dysfuncentine for its second round sounds rather nice.
But I will definitely be following that fest to see what is written, because ajsgsgfshgss some of those prompts.
The mods are considering keeping the collection open even after the fest closes, so that more of the prompts can be claimed/written for, so perhaps after Dysfuncentine, if it remains open?
You've no idea to what degree I wibbled over several of the prompts before finally deciding, and awesome ones keep being added, which makes me very very glad I claimed already!
And yay for Dysfuncentine returning for another year; I enjoyed it so very much last time! There're really beginning to be some fantastic rarepair fests that are spaced just far enough apart you're always getting a rarepair fix.
And thank you so much for that explanation of Yuletide *ponders if I could slip in a short treat, with my Aurors fest story becoming a monster already because some of those fandoms are phenomenal*
