Nope, it's not strictly an LJ thing. :) It's this huge anonymous fandom fic exchange where anyone can sign up (and once you do, you can't back out of it - they kind of make a big deal about that, ha). Sign-ups close on the 19th of this month. Basically, you start by filling out a form of 3-4 fandom requests (but 4 different fandoms) with characters or pairings you would like. They've added a new feature where you can also request a particular rating (so if you're looking for something smuttier, maybe NC-17) but it's only the fandom and pairing that are guaranteed to be matched/fulfilled. You can also add a link to your letter to your Yuletide Santa, like I've done, so you can tell them about any specific likes/dislikes, wants, etc. Anyway, once you've filled out those, you go onto the offers section and put in fandoms and the characters that you are willing to write for. You can offer from 4-10 fandoms. So, once all these have been sent in, Yuletide will send out assignments to each person by matching requests/offers. You'll know who

Thank you, that was very helpful! That definitely sounds like something I'd like to participate in, but I'm thinking maybe I should just stick to fn_ff secret santa? I'm not quite sure. I know I want to put a lot of effort into the fn_ff one because there are so many people I'd like to write for (if that's how that works, I'll have to familiarize myself with the rules).
Also I just have to say, I ABSOLUTELY FREAKING LOVE ALL OF YOUR REQUESTS. Mine would be in a different order, but I daresay they'd be exactly the same.
You can claim multiple prompts with fn_ff, which is awesome. :D Unfortunately, you don't know who you've written the story for until the very end, when all the fics are posted. I think the reason I do Yuletide is because I hardly write throughout the year (damn uni), so when holidays roll around and I'm actually obligated to produce something, it makes me write. Otherwise it takes me, like, two months to finish a 1000 word fic, ha. :P
I would encourage you to do Yuletide with us, but that's just me being selfish, 'cause I want to read more stuff from you. :D The deadline for Yuletide last year was like the 20th of December, I believe? They post the fics on Xmas Day. The fn_ff deadline is a little later than that (I think last year it was extended to the 5th of January) and they're generally a lot more flexible. :)
HEE, THANK YOU. I am really hoping that its my Fakenews one that gets fulfilled, ngl.
And did you offer to write for the same fandoms? 'Cause I did. :D
(I am googling pics of Milla Jovovich when I should be doing Stats revision. WHYYYYY?!) I can't wait until exams are over. YULETIDE. SECRET SANTA. SOMEONE IS WRITING A STEPHEN/STEVE FIC FOR ME. Everything's coming up Milhouse.
