Yuletide
I just signed up for Secret Slasha, as I have every year since 2004. I'm still dithering about Yuletide.
It would make me sad not to sign up for Yuletide, because it's a tradition, but there are valid reasons why not:
+Last year I kind of flunked; I did read and comment on my gift fic, but there were various Treats that I still haven't gotten around to reading. :/
+There aren't any stories I desperately need. There are totally plenty of requests I could make; I went through the list o' fandoms and made a list o' possible requests, but nothing that went I MUST HAVE THAT.
+I haven't written any fic since last Yuletide/Secret Slasha.
+I don't really need deadlines in my life.
I'm thinking I might just stalk the pinch hit list (although without internet at home that's harder to do).
Or maybe I'll just do Yuletide Madness, if it's open to all AO3 users. (I've emailed the mods to ask them; I seem to recall some debate about this last year although there's no record of it in yuletide_admin. Madness is my favorite part, anyhow (Last Minute Panic suits my writing technique best *g*), so that would be a good compromise.
