Dear Yuletide Writer Letters 2020
It's letters time! If you're writing a letter along with your Yuletide sign-up, comment here with a link to your letter and also enter the details in the 2020 tagset app. For browsing convenience, the app also generates a google spreadsheet you can access directly.
What's the deal with letters?
Letters are an optional tradition of Yuletide. When you sign up to the event, there's a space in the form for linking to somewhere in your own space (journal, tumblr, etc) where you can go into detail about what you like in fic and fandom. This post collects these links. The prompts on AO3 are hidden through sign-ups, but letters are visible as soon as you want them to be.
Letters are an optional extra in Yuletide. If you only post a letter here, you haven't signed up. To get an assignment and a gift, you need to sign up at the collection - open through October 25-26.
What makes a good letter?
Mileage varies. We encourage you, at minimum, to include your AO3 name, the fandoms and characters you're requesting, and your Do-Not-Wants. Read through other letters and follow the styles that work for you. Additional tips: here & here.
How to post your letter
If for whatever reason you can only comment on a post, then please include the following line in your comment:
Mods, please add my letter to the app.
We will sweep the post occasionally and add letters.
Warning: Locked or placeholder letters may be removed.
If you have a question, contact a mod on Discord or comment here

Enjoy! And thank you to karanguni for the app!
