schneefinkThe Yuletide schedule was posted and nominations start in a little over a month – what is time??
Usually during the year I keep a list of fandoms I could imagine nominating/requesting for Yuletide, but this year it's empty of serious contenders so far. Last year I got amazing fics for two fandoms I'd requested before (Innocent for The Inheritance Trilogy and Three Times Morgan Acted on His Feelings (And One Time He Didn't) for Bloodrights), so this year I'd prefer something else. Hm. So far I had great luck requesting things several times (I also got fic for Elemental Logic the third year I requested it, Oh Good, He's Nineteen, and it was totally worth the wait), so maybe I could reread "Harsh Cry of the Heron" and request Tales of the Otori again? Or maybe I'll think of something else I'll discover or that I'm overlooking right now, or maybe I'll get inspired by other people's nominations.
As for offering: I've participated in Yuletide every year since 2014, and in 2015, 2017, and 2019 I wrote Steerswoman fic (Dark Blue Skies about Willam, Corvus, and Abremio, The Wizard's Tower about Rowan and Reeder, and Things That Make You Think Different about Steffie.) So I kind of want to offer Steerswoman again, to keep up the streak ^^ Maybe I'll nominate Fletcher in the hopes that I'll finally either write or get the Fletcher atonement story I've wanted for years.
