Yuletide unofficial chat

The main events of Yuletide 2024 are over (though reading and reccing never need to stop). That means the New Year's Resolutions 2025 collection is open. This is a collection for belated treats in past years' prompts. There's a longer explanation at the bottom of this post; TL;DR is that works can be by anyone, be of any length, and be for any past prompts, though there are additional restrictions if you are writing a fic specifically to requalify for participation after a ban.

This is a great way to celebrate small fandoms throughout the year, signal to other small-fandoms enthusiasts that someone who cares is out there, and finish up treats that got away from you earlier in Yuletide.

I fell down on posting regular updates about NYR works last year. Sorry about that; I'll do better this year. Because of that, I want to highlight the 30 works from the New Year's Resolutions 2024 collection that you may not have seen!

Longer explanation of what New Year's Resolutions 2025 is

The New Year's Resolutions challenge/activity is part of Yuletide. Each year after a round of Yuletide ends, a new NYR collection is set up. This collection is for new works based on past Yuletide prompts.

Anyone can look at past Yuletide prompts and submit a work - you don't need to have participated in Yuletide before. Gifts must respect their recipients' Do-Not-Wants. However, if you're writing a NYR story because you are required to before you can sign up to Yuletide again, there are additional rules.

NB: When posting a work to the New Year's Resolutions 2025 collection, the collection name may not come up in the drop-down menu, even though 'nyr2025' will work when entered into the field. You can ensure the collection is incorporated automatically by going to the collection and clicking 'Post to Collection' at top right.

See also the FAQ from last Yuletide and the nyr stories tag on this journal.

Prompts
You can find links to 2024's prompts at the Yuletide 2024 AO3 collection, in a text file, in a google spreadsheet, at karanguni's browser app, and at a Dreamwidth post collecting prompts from pinch hitters. For older prompts, try looking at the dashboards of previous NYR collections, such as New Year's Resolutions 2024.

Someday My Fic Will Come
This is an additional mini-challenge, begun by swan_tower. Are there fandoms you just keep asking for, and never get? If you have requested the same thing in at least 3 Yuletides, and you haven't been given it yet, record your prompt at the DW post, and also add it to the spreadsheet linked at those posts! Or, look for a long-lingering prompt that you can fulfil.
