yuletide flailings

[mayhap]

Am in the middle of drafting my Dear Yuletide Author letter. In a way I find this part much harder to write than my eventual actual story—I'm so terrible about writing directly about what it is that I enjoy, as opposed to flailing incoherently in its general direction and hitting kudos/like/reblog/5-stars/etc as hard and enthusiastically as I can. This is a failing of mine that I should work on.

I have barely made a dent in narrowing down possible offers. I'm thinking of combining this with a project to create master list of all the fandoms I plan to read in Yuletide this year, for the benefit a hypothetical potential author who might a.) want to write a crossover b.) with a certified Yuletide-rare fandom that c.) their recipient (i.e., me) is actually familiar with. Is this a good idea, does any one think? I hasten to iterate that I'm not demanding any crossovers with anything. I mostly just like making lists and also procrastinating.

Of course this is a good idea! Procrastination cum list-making (as well as each of those separately) is always a good idea. (And more specifically, I would find such a list helpful as a writer.)

Me too! Not that my writer needs to be like me, but optional details are always optional. After all, they don't even need to click on the list.

Or they might want something to procrastinate with by reading… ;)
