MultiLingYule 2024
The MultiLingYule mini-challenge is for works in languages other than English.
Maybe there are very few fanworks in your first, second, etc language, and you'd love to connect with a fellow speaker who's also a fellow fan.
Maybe you're learning a new language and getting a gift in it would be a delightful way to improve your fluency.
Maybe you just want to talk about how much you love conlangs and invite someone to incorporate conlangs into your gift.
The possibilities are multi-ple!
On the creation side: unless someone has clearly indicated that a non-English work would suit as their only gift, gifts of that kind need be posted in Yuletide Madness, regardless of length. Works can only go in the main collection if they fulfil all the same requirements as an assigned gift.
Similarly, someone may be delighted to get a gift in a language you've just started to learn, and connect with you over enthusiasm for that language, but if you're posting a gift in the Main rather than the Madness collection, it should probably either be in a language you're fluent in or in a language you can call on fluent help for.
On the (tangential) beta side, people who can check text snippets, lines of dialogue, etc, in multiple languages are extremely valuable and appreciated, and if you can offer this service, please consider doing so when the beta post goes up.

MultiLingYule is an opt-in challenge similar to Crueltide and Interactive Fiction. Comment here to let people know
-if you are interested in receiving gifts in languages other than English
-what languages those are
-what you're prompting (link your letter; if you don't have a letter, you can link your prompts on the app after requests are revealed)
-any other useful notes.
With a Mod Hat On
On the requesting side: if you would be happy if a gift in a different language were your only gift, please also note this in the optional details of your sign-up form. This prevents mod panic when we go to check assignments and need to figure out if someone can actually read their gift!On the creation side: unless someone has clearly indicated that a non-English work would suit as their only gift, gifts of that kind need be posted in Yuletide Madness, regardless of length.

I'm Mary_the_gardener on AO3
here's my letter: https://mary-the-gardener.dreamwidth.org/3075.html
I would appreciate a gift in Italian (my mother tongue), French (I'm fluent in it), Spanish (I stubbornly pretend to know the language and read on lol), or Russian (currently learning this one, I have a medium-high level but I'm not quite fluent yet, so please nothing too long).
What I enjoy when reading in those languages is how they all have formal pronouns ( while English lacks them).
And these are my requested fandoms:
Cassandre (TV)
Florence Cassandre, Pascal Roche
Анна - Детективъ | Detective Anna (TV)
Any (Anton Korobeynikov, Ivan Skryabin, Nina Nezhinskaya, Viktor Mironov)
Diving RPF
Any (Chang Yani (Diving RPF), Chen Yiwen (Diving RPF), Maddison Keeney (Diving RPF))
Feel free to include dialogue in any of the languages of the characters you'll include in your story!
F4 Thailand (TV)
Gorya Thitara Jundee, Ren Renrawin Aira
Feel free to include dialogue in thai if you want, tho I would appreciate it in transliterated form better
