New Year Resolution collection for 2015 is open, and will remain open until sign-ups close for Yuletide 2015.
Anyone with an AO3 account can write stories for the the NYR 2015 collection - you do not need to sign up. Your story must be written for someone’s Yuletide prompt, featuring the requested characters, and posted them into that year's NYR subcollection. Prompts from previous years are allowed, but the fandom must not have grown too big for Yuletide in 2014.
The text file of this year’s prompts has now been updated to include the prompts from pinch hitters.
Writers who defaulted in Yuletide 2014 may need to write NYR stories (see this post about the default deadline for details). That includes writers who defaulted after the deadline, writers who posted their stories late, and writers whom we have spoken to about their placeholders, among others. If you are in this category, your NYR story must be at least 1,000 words long, as well as the other criteria. Please also remember to contact us after you've posted your NYR story to make sure we take you off the “banned” list. If you are not sure if you are banned from participation or not, email yuletideadmin@gmail.com and ask.
Due to some issues (for example: duplicate posts, posts without all the necessary information, or posts that went up before people were ready for them), the main Yuletide comm will be put onto moderated posting. You are still welcome to post challenge announcements, recs etc there. We will send posts like that through as soon as we see them.
We will be reviewing how things have worked this year, but there will not be major changes to the rules for 2015. There will be a post in early September with revised rules for comment, before nominations start.
Hope to see you all in September for Yuletide 2015!
