Dear Yuletide Author

I must be crazy for actually doing this, but anyway, here is my letter.

EEP!

( Letter to my Yuletide Author regarding my fandom choices of Being Erica, Scarecrow and Mrs. King, and Anne of Green Gables )

fandom, fic, yuletide

Is this your first Yuletide? Even if it isn't, awesome that you're doing it! *high fives* It's my very first Yuletide! I'm looking forward to seeing what you're requesting :D

It *is* my first Yuletide! *high fives back*

I'm very nervous about it and have been angsting over my registration for the past few hours - still have not submitted it. I am probably over-thinking it but I keep questioning my prompts - are they clear enough? too specific? too vague? It's nerve wracking. This was after over an hour of trying to narrow down to 3 fandoms. Who knew this was so hard!

Well, you can also request up to four fandoms. I needed the fourth. LOL. :) I offered several more than that, though.

Also, the thing about the prompts, that I'm trying not to freak out about, is that "optional details are optional". If they don't like it, they don't have to write it... I mean, obviously we want them to, but my letter was so rambly and like... I LOVE THIS AND IT'S ALL RAINBOWS AND BUTTERFLIES AND HAPPINESS but if you write this I will also love it, or this, or this. LOL.

Yeah I picked the ones I most wanted to read something from in the end.

Yeah I noticed that but the fandoms I picked are all ones where I either really don't have a specific ship in it but I adore the setting/premise a lot or where the ship is pretty much the reason people watch the show so I'm not so concerned about ending up with something I'd hate. I'm also trying to do a bit of I love this, or this, or even this to give a broad spectrum of ideas. Hopefully it works. I think when I do the actual letter it'll be a bit easier. I don't know though.

Have you written your dear author letter yet?

I promise I'm not your Santa and thus outing myself - just a general Yulegoat out for a stalk but, re: Being Erica

*giggles*

You'll know what I mean when you're done with season 4 :D

Does that mean you've seen the end of S4 already? Damn now I'm going to be curious about what you mean forever!!! Hee!

atatteredrose November 22 2011, 11:45:22 UTC

Nah, won't even happen for 3 weeks. But I presume there will be even more reasons for *giggles* by the end, and I was trying to avoid any clues at all about when things might be happening... *giggles*

Given the way this show plays, of course, I think we'll ALL be curious about various points, forever and ever. XP

Ha okay. I'm pretty much up to date on what's aired so far (unless a new ep aired last night? I heard it wasn't happening because of Hockey so I'm unclear now) but I'm LOVING this season so much! I'm so sad it's the last one. And also sad that more fic from it doesn't exist (which is a big reason why I requested it). So far I've only found a handful on A03.

I suspect this will be a show where there are still lots of questions at the end. Which hopefully will inspire all the fic!
