yuletide | Recent Entries

Just to clarify, since apparently there's recently been some confusion: This is an entirely unofficial community for chat about Yuletide. Official communities can be found at

yuletide_admin (or here at

yuletide_admin_feed) and

yuletide (or here at

yuletide_feed). We love Yuletide and wanted a space to chat about it and rec fics on Dreamwidth.

If you'd like to help mod, just let us know.

astolat or

elynross, if you see this and would like ownership of the comm, just let us know and we'll happily hand it over. Thank you for creating a brilliant challenge!

short version, #yuletide is moving to irc.slashnet.org

long version can be found in Elyn's post to the yuletide admin comm on LJ.

for those who hang about in #yuletide, we learned today that sff.net is closing down their IRC servers for good on June 15th.

There's a post here on the LJ YT comm about it. More info will be posted here when a new home is decided upon...

A number of people mentioned in the previous post that one of the reasons they don't write New Year Resolutions is because they are unsure if anyone wants to read that fic anymore. Which is fair. So, in the comments to this post share your favorite unused prompt. The prompt you saw while going through Yulegoat letters and was terribly sad to never see written.

Put the fandom name in the subject line and the prompt in the body of the text with the name of the person who requested it. Feel free to add reasons why you like this prompt. Feel free to submit multiple prompts in separate comments. Then go through and see if anyone was desperately wanting something you want to write.

Prompts can be found at the AO3 or one long list here.

Every year after Yuletide the New Year Resolutions archive opens and sits all year long. The collection usually collects somewhere around 100 works. I think that's a bit sad and was wondering if anyone would be interested in a focused attempt to fulfill more NYRs?

Poll #12644 New Year Resolutions?

This poll is anonymous.
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 52

I would be interested in participating in a NYR ongoing challenge

First off, I have already pimped my three wonderful gifts on my DW and my LJ ( 1 for Winter Song (Music Video - Sara Bareilles) and 2 for Sono Te wo Dokero | Hands Off! ).

And now… all the other recs. ^_^ Many of these have not been getting a lot of love, because the fandoms are small, even for Yuletide, but they are amazing stories and I would strongly recommend giving them a chance. ^_^

On DW, on LJ, and on tumblr:
( 14 recs in Beauty and the Beast (1991), Boston Legal, Dark Is Rising Sequence - Susan Cooper, Devil Went Down to Georgia (Song), Dollhouse, Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman, Fushigi Yuugi, Saturday Night Live/Hamm & Buble - SNL Sketch, Jeremiah (TV), Pippin (Musical), Scarlet Pimpernel - Baroness Orczy, Scarlet Pimpernel - Baroness Orczy/Chronicles of Narnia - C. S. Lewis, Shawshank Redemption - All Media Types and Stick It (2006) )

And, AH, THERE IS SO MUCH OTHER FIC THAT I KNOW I'LL WANT TO REC, BUT I HAVEN'T HAD TIME TO READ. ARGH. So, I'm going to put this out there for now and will post more as I have a chance to, probably after author reveals. I mean… damn, I haven't even gotten to most of the book fandoms I love. THERE IS NIGHTRUNNER AND TAMIR FANFIC, GUYS. AND SWORDSPOINT. I can't. I just… ARGH, LIFE. Why so busy? :-P

Anyway, enjoy and please tell the authors you did when you do! ^_^

Current Mood: excited
