Romance Novels in the 2021 Tagset

[xslytherclawx]

I've taken the liberty of compiling a list of all romance novels in the tagset. To my count, there are 65 this year!

I've listed them by author (alphabetically, and then again alphabetically by title), as well as the link to the novel (or series) on goodreads, and, if possible, a link to read for free online (I looked at Project Gutenberg and also archive.org, which is a virtual library), and the bookshop.org link to purchase. Some may not have any links, but if you know of any for those missing, please let me know!

By no means am I infallible, so I may well have missed some (or included some that are not, in fact, romance novels), so please let me know if you see any errors or omissions! I intentionally did not include YA or works that are purely erotica without any romance aspect.

Again, please let me know if you see any errors, and I'll be sure to correct them!

ETA: unfortunately I’ve been having computer issues (dead battery; replacement has to be specially ordered), and the table is basically uneditable on mobile, so I can’t add anything to the table itself until further notice!!
That said, please read through the comments for more romance novels (and/or novels with romance elements)!

Webcomics in the Yuletide 2021 tag set

All the webcomic fandoms in the tag set -- plus links to where you can read them online!

Fandom tags are in the order/format AO3 puts them, which is why they’re not totally consistent, but all the actual titles seem to be right.

Swaps Forever '21 || SIGN-UPS ARE OPEN.

[kindness_says]

HELLO, ALL. Here we are again, the Yuleswaps season upon us!

We are (okay, I am) a little behind schedule this year, so putting off the dregs of 2020 follow-up emails in favor of getting sign-ups open ASAP. (If you are a 2020 swapper with a swap that never got fully resolved, you will probably hear from us soon as we try to close all those cases. :))

Caveats from the 2020 swaps season, updated:

1) International mailing: most countries have resumed shipping to most places! That said, it never hurts to double-check your country's postal restrictions. (New Zealanders, you still can't ship to Hungary, for instance.) We are keeping an eye on unofficial lists like this one, but it never hurts to warn us or, after you receive your match-up, check official sources and hit us up ASAP if we've made a mistake!

ETA 10/17: Oof, okay, plumeria47 has helpfully informed us that the USPS is currently suspending shipping between the US and several countries, including Australia and New Zealand! A great example of something we'll try to keep in mind while matching...but please check our work, as circumstances (clearly) continue to evolve!

2) Postal delays: we always expect delays due to holidays, and then last year was...you know. This year the situation seems somewhat improved, but we continue to urge caution around homemade/perishable goods. That USPS "2-day delivery" guarantee is NOT back in consistent operation, and other shipping services may be faster, but they're also generally expensive. So use your judgment about travel time, weather, etc.

3) Checking in ON TIME: in the interest of getting all packages and pinch-hits out efficiently, all swappers MUST check in on Swaps Central by the end of the last sending day (this year that's Saturday, November 20th), unless they have requested an extension.

Please note, we generally grant small extensions without penalty (we know people are busy, and our sending period is short), so we strongly encourage you to ask rather than risk being late. If you are very tardy and/or difficult to communicate with, you may be barred from one or more swaps in the future.
