Yuletide sign-ups are always a process

[corilannam]

As usual, the biggest problem I'm having signing up for yuletide this year is coming up with my requests. Usually it's a case of not being able to think of enough things I really want, but this year I HAVE TOO MANY.

Here's where I am right now:

1) RPF - Duran Duran -- Goes without saying, of course. Am I lucky that my main fandom is yuletide-eligible, or very unfortunate? I do not know.

2) Merlin -- I am overcome with the desire for Merlin fic.

3) Marion Zimmer Bradley - Darkover -- I know this must have been nominated in previous yuletides, but for some reason I never noticed it before. I am overcome with an intense need for Dani/Regis fic, to fulfill my longings from my days as a teenage proto-slasher.

4) ???

I don't know what to put for 4. I had been almost set on Crusoe, but couldn't think of a prompt. Then after chatting last night, I started thinking about asking for that Torvill and Dean fic after all. Then I thought, seriously, can I really bring myself to do that? I feel dirty, like I'm asking for porn about God (not that there's anything wrong with that, I guess). Then I noticed that Horatio Hornblower is eligible again this year, and there is decidedly not enough HH fic being produced these days.

What to do???

In terms of offering, after a few years of carefully tailoring my offered fandoms, this year I'm offering the kitchen sink. If I think I might be able to write it, I'm giving it a try. Based on past experiences, it's just more fun that way. Bring it on! (but I'm not offering Bring It On, just to be clear.)

#4) Profit! (no, not really. But isn't that an actual fandom? This makes me laugh.)

It's an actual fandom! Though I wasn't planning on asking for it, I'm sure someone will. *g*

I was thinking of signing up for this, but I'm basically a one-fandom fic chick, and they make you choose more than one. So the question is, do I really want Tigger and Pooh fic? Hmm...

Of course you do! Who knows what perverted things we could do to them in the name of holiday spirit (ala the Care Bears)!

Hmm. I see that three of the fandoms I'd request have shockingly already been offered...but no one's asked for any of the stuff I'd be willing to write on short notice yet. Hm. But I guess I have until next Monday to keep watching...

Yup! Plenty of people still to sign up, I'm sure....
