yuletide | New Year's Resolution collection: January 17

Welcome to the New Year's Resolution challenge, and to the New Year's Resolution round-up posts. The New Year's Resolution collection is for stories written to previous Yuletide prompts. Anyone is welcome to submit a story.

Regarding round-up posts: I'm off to a slow start this year, sorry - unlike the twelve authors who have already posted! I was thinking about posting updates twice a month - is that okay? Or do people prefer the weekly format, any time there's a new fic posted in a given week?

Until assignments are sent out (approximately) for Yuletide 2016, the New Year's Resolution collection (2016 edition) is open for writers to submit fics based on prompts from previous Yuletides.

Writers are especially encouraged to write stories for prompts that were not filled during the main Yuletide run.

2015 prompts on AO3
Google spreadsheet of 2015's Dear Author letters
Database of 2015's Dear Author letters
2015 prompts as a text file
Prompts from 2015's non-signed-up pinch hitters on LJ and on DW
Some Day My Fic Will Come mini-challenge: info - This challenge is about those prompts that are posted year after year after year... add yours to the spreadsheet to increase their visibility, or see if you can fill someone else's perennial request.

Fics written for the purpose of re-qualifying for Yuletide must be posted before sign-ups begin for Yuletide 2016. They must also be over 1,000 words and written to a previous Yuletide prompt. The fandom in which they are written must still be small enough to qualify for Yuletide (in brief: there are fewer than 1,000 fics each over 1,000 words when adding the total fics on AO3 and ff.net).
