Yuletide, whee!

[jaybee65]

Just signed up for Yuletide. I've offered to write in 15 fandoms this year, which I believe is a record for me. *Bounces

Yuletide is open!?!? Why does nobody nobody tell me these things??? *scampers off to sign up*

[jaybee65]

It just opened today. The cutoff date is November 12, so you don't need to rush if you don't want to!

[madamedarque]

All right, I've just been to the sign-up page and my browser isn't compatible. So, would you mind signing up for me? *bats eyelashes*

If you wouldn't mind doing it, I'll pm you my information. btw, congratulations on getting Damages in there!

[jaybee65]

Oh no! Sure, I'll sign up for you! (I used Firefox and it worked for me...but I hear that others have had problems with it.) Send me your info, and I'll get that done ASAP.

YULETIDE! This is my first year playing. I'm nervous, and pumped.

[jaybee65]

Yay! You're going to have so much fun!!

Hrm. November 12, huh? I guess I need to ponder harder.

:)

[jaybee65]

Just over a week. That'll give you at least a bit of pondering time!

Nothing like a crash course in original fic. Keep going!

[jaybee65]

It's very educational! So however it turns out, I think it will be a positive experience.

I was going to question your sanity (15 Yuletides and the novel thing?) but I see you've pulled back a bit on the NaNoWriMo project. So you're only a little bit crazy.

As always, am looking forward to whatever you write.

[jaybee65]

Oh, but you only have to do 1 Yuletide story! I just made offers for 15 fandoms, so that it will be easier for the Yuletide people to match me with a request. So I'm not quite *that* crazy. LOL.

[sk56]

Oh, that's how it works. I haven't ever participated -- just read the results and have appreciated the effort that goes into them. I was truly beginning to wonder, there...

And so what are the current revelations on structure in original character stuff?

And so what are the current revelations on structure in original character stuff?

Well...I came up with a story idea that kind of calls for a traditional, "heroic" type protagonist as the reader's POV character. Setting that up, given that such a structure has never really been my "thing" in fanfic, has required a lot of thought.

I had a few other story ideas that would have had more of a morally questionable character as the focal point, but as those ideas were a lot less formed and i decided to sign up at the last minute, well, I find myself writing something that is quite different for me. Probably a good exercise, though!
